Thanks for the clarification @Joseph Spiegel, was not sure.

Given this is all electronically controlled, a firmware update should be able to put the option in our hands. I’m sure there are other motivations to switch it and annoy us. Maybe fuel mileage standards?

Hope you 2 got to pick up your new toy and go off on your roadtrip!

And thanks for your response - Salman (very informative).

Hey All,



Finally!! Our stinger came!!



I can’t believe this is true, I just can’t explain the joy feeling. I promised myself, that the first thing I’ll do once we receive the car is to write this post. And take pictures of our along-waited Stinger. But little did I know that, the car just took our breaths away. We just lost contact with everyone and everything arround us. It was just us and the car - Hence the late reply.



We just felt connected as soon as we got in and turned it on. This became one of the most intenseful emotional moments of pure joy that overwhelmed our hearts. It’s was not about owning a new car, it’s was about having the possesion and control of monstrous beast. That we I’ve always dreamed owning since it came out. Which took us 3-4 months of waiting time that drove us crazy insane!!



Which leads us with such happiness to share our joy with all of you. It really makes oneself grateful to have such a dedicated forum like this. And we areso fortunate to be a part of the stinger family alongside each and every one of you. So, let us give a huge and big thanks to @Sal for his efforts in maintaining such a peaceful family like forum.

P.S I writing this while I'm at the Service Center for the 1,000 km service check. So, let's say we did it !! We hit the thousand mark.

Please feel free to share this moment with us through these few photos below:

Congrats, beautiful car.

 

[Huda]

Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Stinger night and I won't be long
Gotta do my drive, put my jun-bl on
It's Friday night and I won't be long

 

[Jasem]

Congratulations brother.
Enjoy your new ride.

BTW, how do you compare it to your old Cayenne GTS in terms of driving dynamics?

I hope you didn't drive around for a thousand kilometers with those little blue squares still stuck on it!

 

[Joseph Spiegel]

Joy!!!!
Congrats to Salmon and Huda on their new bundle of joy! 600km instantly! Wow! So you took delivery and started your break in, reached 300km turned around, repeat and back to the dealer for first service! WOW!!! That is diligence! Enjoy and many safe and happy kilometers for you both.

Oh and that color! I don’t think we have that one here. I thought you were getting the ceramic color. This has more depth.
First mod has to be the ceramic tint, it gets wicked hot in your region. It should be standard.

 

[Tobstertx3]

Congratulations!!!! Love the color!

I hope you didn't drive around for a thousand kilometers with those little blue squares still stuck on it!

Certainly looks like it LOL

 

[robz32]

Many congratulations. 1000 kms already??....Niicee, excellent way to start your weekend.

Thank you, I wish you a pleasant driving and I also hope that the time pass quickly to meet the Stinger is a truly amazing car. I can’t believe that I own the car! And also you be safe.

Hey Jasim, Sorry for the late reply, my time was completely consumed by work (you know before the Eid Holidays) and by the enjoying the car.

And before I give my complete honest comparison, let's just get this out of the way; both cars are impressively amazing, and one car is AWD and the other is RWD. Obviously we know that the GTS costs double the price of a Stinger GT.

Not to seem baised for the Stinger, or totally ungrateful for the GTS.

After that being said, let's move on to the comparison;

The GTS is way more stable/confident car, thanks to its AWD System (its one of the best in the industry). The driving dynamics of this car completely difines against the law of physics, you just don't feel the weight nor the size of this car at all, it just like driving a sports car. And that gives joy riding the car.

The Stinger GT, is a different story entirely, it's not stable, it's not a confident car. This car demands a DRIVER, this car needs a MASTER or it will go rouge, this car is unsteady and complety dangerous once in the wrong hands. You just can't dare to test the car's limit, and once you try, you find your heart racing for it's life from the huge adrenaline rush the goes throw your body, and still you deep down you now you have not yet reached the car's limits. So you lie to yourself and say; it's enough for today I'm already late for "what ever excuse you give yourself".

And that is why it is much more fun than the GTS. The GTS, thanks to it's high level of stability (even one its off), the driving dynamics are well oriented that you can always test the cars limit with confidence. But in the Stinger GT, you'll have to earn that confidence and find it in yourself, it's just a raw incredible car !

This is my comparison, and my personal opinion only. Some may disagree and other my not.

I hope I gave an idea, if you are in Riyadh just message me, and I'll be more than happy to let yiu test the car in person. Or I can let you test drive the dealers car, I have connections now

The GTS is way more stable/confident car, thanks to its AWD System (its one of the best in the industry).

And the AWD in any Stinger can claim the same nature: stable, confident, smooth. For, as you say, half the money. My GT1 AWD is the most glued-to-the-road car I've ever driven. But, admittedly, my experience is limited.

When I order the car, I was in dilemma; should.I take AWD or RWD. It was a though choice considering the I wanted both. To try a complete RWD, and have a car which is like you said glued to the ground. So I went with saving $2500 and proceed with owning my first RWD car.

And just for fun, Huda is asking right now, if I went back in time would change anything? My answer is I'm still in a dilemma I would not know which one to choose. Especially since we don't have AWD test drive cars here.

But what I know is, I'm glad I went through all the hassle to get this car. It's totally worth.

I'm writing this while @Huda is driving the car. And I belive it's time for my turn. So let me put my charm face on, and try to persuade my way to the wheel...

Awesome! My first three cars were RWD, then FWD until now. Back to the egg. RWD, low and fassssst. Just three more doors. My list is below and in order.

I love "in situ" virtual moments like this. I can picture you both in that terrific luxury, high performance gran turismo, with sand drifting in a crosswind across the road in front of and behind you. (See what your little video clip did?) And the next curve is coming, and Huda is pressing the gas pedal just a little bit too much for your ease and comfort. Especially since it is a RWD, a beast waiting to be unleashed. And all that power comes through only TWO WHEELS, not four. Egads! I know how I'd be taking this "learning curve" period: getting an ulcer. (Only half kidding!)

If you only had RWD to test drive, I don't see how you could have possibly chosen an AWD; unless your Cayenne GTS experience gave you enough confidence to choose based on that alone. And furthermore, I don't see any trouble with having a RWD, if BOTH of you are cautious around "the beast". Respect her, always. And know that torque and horsepower combined are like possessing "super powers". Every superhero has a flip side; where their super powers can be their nemesis, their downfall. But used properly (not for gratuitous showing off), everything can be used to augment your driving experience into as much fun as you will ever have with a car.

What, are you between books? Just sound like an author.

Hey folks, we're trying to keep general discussion about the Stinger or Stinger related topics in the appropriate forum. As such, I've pulled the talk about the market in the middle East over to a new thread - General Stinger discussion split from "Stinger Girl" thread.

This forum is for non-Stinger discussion and new member introductions. This thread took on a life of its own and that's fine, just trying to keep things on-topic.
