The Stinger is a fast convertible, but not quite as good as a Cheetah. It handles great, responds well, and sticks to the road. This vehicle first appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto, but has also been in Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. For some reason the vehicle was left out of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, leaving no explanations why Rockstar Games decided not to include the Stinger.
In Grand Theft Auto it's based on the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette. In Grand Theft Auto 2 it's based on the 1963 Corvette Split-Window (the name is a reference to the Corvette Sting Ray). In GTA 2 it can only be found in the Industrial District of Anywhere City, and gives the Electrofingers power-up when crushed.
In GTA III, the stinger appears in hard-top and convertible form. Its performance is better than most vehicles, however it is the least powerful of all the 2-door sports cars, with little tendency to drift. Its Yakuza varient, however handles better and is all-wheel-drive, as opposed to the stock cars, which are rear-drive. It resembles a Porsche Boxster or a Toyota MR2-Spyder.
In GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories, it resembles a convertable Chevrolet Corvette. However, the Banshee also resembles a Chevrolet Corvette, in hard-top form.
