In both instances, the name is a reference to the [[wp:Chevrolet Corvette (C2)|Corvette Sting Ray]]; <code>STINGRAY</code> is also the internal name of the GTA 2 rendition. | ||

The Stinger in GTA 2, however, performs substantially better, with good acceleration and a high top speed; however, the car still has average braking and steering, which are not able to handle high speeds, resulting in the Stinger having to perform wider turns when moving fast. When [[Crusher|crushed]] in GTA 2, the car awards the player an [[Power-ups in GTA 2|ElectroFingers]] pickup. | ||

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the | In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Stinger bears a passing resemblance to several different cars, including the [[wp:Porsche Boxster#986|Porsche Boxster]], [[wp:Toyota MR2#Third generation (MkIII) ZZW30 (2000–2007)|Toyota MR2 Spyder]], [[wp:TVR Chimaera|TVR Chimaera]] and [[wp:Lexus SC|Lexus SC]]; the Stinger may also appear with or without a roof (a softtop in GTA III and a hardtop in GTA Liberty City Stories). Its performance is better than most vehicles, but is the least powerful of all the 2-door sports cars, with little tendency to drift due to its four wheel drive. | ||
In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, | In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Stinger resembles a 1968—1973 [[wp:Ferrari Daytona|Ferrari Daytona]] Spyder, an apparent homage to [http://www.autofiends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ferraridaytona.jpg Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Daytona Spyder replica], yet another one of GTA Vice City's references to [[wp:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]. While similar in performance to the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories Stingers, the Stinger in GTA Vice City is very unusual in that it is front wheel drive, something which was and still is very rarely seen on cars with this kind of performance. | ||

==Variant== | |||
The Yakuza variant of the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions, the [[Yakuza Stinger]], shares the same four-wheel drive configuration as a regular Stinger, but handles better and has slower acceleration because it is much heavier than the normal Stinger. The Yakuza Stinger is customized in the import tuner style, both of which might imply that the Stinger is made in Japan. | |||
