Ok. . . Before everyone just goes out and votes for their favorite model. Put some thought into it. What is cool about it. Rules - Only one. You can only pick one. Admin if anyone picks two, delete their post. . . lol. . . just kidding. I'll start. 1974 Blue SuperStinger. Reasons - They are metal flake. That alone is cool
- They don't have a bunch of gaudy graphics taking away from the flake.
- They have a nice shape, especially the ones with the one piece seat with the little bump in the back.

'75 Super Stingers, with the gaudy decal package, i love those decals this color combination i seen at the reunion i fell in love with (for sheer metal flake goodness, it is a toss up, the 75 whip hood has the most sparkle per square foot, but 72 and 73's with sparkly seats may have more) but style ..super stinger, color, this one, and love the decals here is a blue '74 for your edification Scorp11 ![](http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184837_112886048787424_3378097_n.jpg)

Agreed. The 74 and 75 super stingers are the best looking Scorpions!

come on guys, The 79 sting is by far the coolest looking scorpion ever!! Got to be one of the fastest too! As for the 71 super stinger, that thing is sooo ugly its cool! Pararailer, I thought the 80 should be faster than the 79? I agree that the 71 super stingers are so ugly, that they are cool. To me, the 70-71 red bubble stingers, the 71-2 wedges along with the Super Stingers in that fabulous red metalflake, just can't be beat and they are what I think of when I think scorpion. With that said, if I were to choose a PURTY Scorpion, I'd say 74-75 would be it. LOL ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) Do you guys wear skirts when you ride them? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

To bad the stings did'nt have a short pararail instead of slide suspension for the grass. We have tried the stings but to win on the grass the tk's are the way to go. Sorry pararailer

The 79 Stings are my favorite, but I am a bit biased. I put 3000 miles on my first one :-) ![](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AOfuXFXoNzk/TT-5b3YgC7I/AAAAAAAAA40/V0vX7bcGSGs/s800/_1StingRestore%2520024.jpg) But. . . metalflake is hard to beat. My uncle had a 1971 Super Stinger when we used to trail ride in the early 90's. He called it the red racer. We always made fun of him cause it was so ugly :-) And. . . they are kinda ugly, but they are cool too. I wouldn't mind having one :-)

Ddub - The 1980 Stings should be a little faster on top end due to the CDI. But that is only if you change the factory jetting and add the cold air kit. From the factory they were jetted stupid fat and did like my whip and fell on their face on the bottom end.
Now. . . As far as going fast with a Cuyuna. . . I think I have found a little something special that I bet you drag guys would love to have.. . .
I don't drag race, but I will say. . . It will be making it into my lightweight Sting. Which I will fully document as it is being built. :-)

scorp11 has a good reason for his vote, and I'm sure it probably is a part of anyone's vote. The first Scorpion influence is likely to guide a bias. For me it does as well...
I guess I'll be the only one to vote for the '73 White model. I agree metal flake is cool, but that alone isn't enough. The '73 hood style is the best and I always have liked the look of white with black and chrome. Even better with the ruby red seat.
The '71 wedge is disagreeably ugly. 'Nuff said.
The bubble nose never grew on me, but that was before my time anyway.
I'll refrain from mentioning my 2nd or 3rd vote to avoid breaking the discussion "rule".
