 * Grand Theft Auto III
 * Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
 * Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
 * Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Description

GTA 1 — GTA 2
In GTA 1, the Stinger based on the 1968-1972 Chevrolet Corvette (the name is a reference to the Corvette Stingray). In GTA 2 it's based on the 1963 Corvette Split-Window. It can only be found in the Industrial District of Anywhere City, and gives the ElectroFingers power-up when crushed. Both iterations handle great, respond well, and stick to the road.

Trivia

 * In the beta version of GTA Liberty City Stories, there was a yellow Stinger supposedly reserved for use by the Sicilian Mafia. Its was possibly going to be called the Sicilian Stinger. But then it turned into a normal silver/white Stinger for the final version.
 * The GTA Vice City rendition of the Stinger made an appearance in Manhunt 2.
 * The Stinger does not appear in GTA San Andreas, seemingly replaced by the ZR-350, as they have the same speed, spawn in rich districts, and have similar body shape. However, the ZR-350 doesn't spawn in a convertible form.
 * The Stinger was the name of the Rocket Launcher that blew up Crockett's Ferrari In Miami Vice since the Stinger in Vice City is based on the exact car.
 * In GTA: Liberty City Stories, if the player is armed with a Sub Machine Gun the gun will stick out the front windscreen, even if the window is still intact.
