What I find amusing about the poll is everyone on this site KNOWS the history (some better than others!) of the name Sting Ray / Stingray.
The rest of the public usually associates the Stingray name with the C3 Vettes. Most of the public goes through life misinformed and just assumes that they know everything or that what they see is completely accurate in reality (one of the principle reasons for the imbeded media in Operation Iraqi Freedom). This maybe because the C3 body style ran for so much longer than the 63-67s beaing the name Sting Ray. Of course, then there are movies like Corvette Summer and Boogie Nights where those generations of cars are featured.
Blame the media. Everyone else does.
