Funny that you should ask this question, because even as I type now my foot is still swollen from the sting that I received 2 days ago. (In case anyone had any doubts, there are indeed stingrays in the Gulf of Mexico)
The pain from the sting itself will(as the name implies) sting without ceasing for many hours. But that's just the start of it. The venom pooled in the injection sight will burn and sting quite intensely(this accounts only for an extremity wound, I have no experience for body shots.) But after a short period of time, it will begin to move up the leg or arm, and that's where things get painful. The pain permeates even into the bone, and can best be described as a combined grinding feeling with one of tearing and flesh.
Between an hour and a half, and two hours into this though, the pain will grow so intense that it will become virtually impossible to focus on much of anything else. Actually, if you can manage to even speak without grunting and shouting, then feel lucky that you either have great pain tolerance or you got a smaller dose of the venom.
Important to note, is that the pain will grow in intensity the more the limb is used, so keeping use to a minimum is probably best.
Most important though is hot water. The moment you get the injection sight in contact with hot water, the pain will melt away. The venom is heat sensitive, Sadly though this works both ways. Avoid the cold at all costs.

What does a Stingray feel like to touch?
The skin of rays is similar to that of sharks. It's not the skin, but the placing of the scales is different on each animal. Both sharks and stingrays have scales called dermal denticles (meaning skin teeth). Each scale has the same structure as a shark's tooth. The difference is that a shark's dermal denticles are all aligned pointing to the rear of the shark while a ray's scales are more spread apart and are in an irregular pattern. Sting rays are smooth creatures that feel something similiar to velvet. They feel strong, but the skin feels as if it has a slime coating, though none will deposit on your hands if you touch them.

When was the stingray Corvette created?
Sting Ray (or Stingray) is just a name that doesn't denote anything special. What I mean by that is that "Sting Ray" or "Stingray" is just a name--it doesn't indicate any higher level of performance or styling or anything. It's not like a Corvette Stingray is a step up from a "regular" Corvette. I hope that makes sense. BTW, it was two words (Sting Ray) for the 1963-1967 model years, and then it became one word (Stingray) on the 1969-1982 models. 1968 Corvettes were "Stingrays," too, but the name badge didn't appear anywhere on them.
