“Florida man” introduces himself

[BaseBoy18]

Hello peoples with stingers!!
Just a guy from Florida who likes cars.
Before getting into the Stinger I had a few 2nd gen eclipses and a Suzuki sx4… needless to say I’m happy that I finally got into something RWD! Originally planned on getting a 6th gen Charger SRT but it got sold before I got out of work.. fortunately “Mr Salesman” showed me the stinger and I pulled the trigger, YES it’s a base.. not even a GT line but at that time in life, I needed something else to drive

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. Congratulations on your new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for you? Tell me a little about those Mitsubishi Eclipses...

Hey fellow Florida man. Congrats! I got my 2023 GT Line Apex Edition last December and love it. A great daily driver for me!

I have a 2019 Premium, so I have the same power that you do. Low end torque is different than higher horsepower. I test drove a 2022 2.5L and did not find a noticeable difference off the line with my 2.0L. Your car looks pretty tricked out cosmetically. And it sounds like your going to pursue engine mods. Success and satisfaction wishes are sent your way. My car remains stock because I do not find it underpowered in the least. It's not, of course, as beefy as the 3.3L in our first Stinger, but in 90% of driving situations the 2.0L has plenty of power and is an equally fun drive.

Exactly! I’m not racing but when I need to pass, it gets it done.

Had 3 but not one was even a GST lol, I guess you could say I’ve been bitten by a base model bug at some point! First one was a 97 spider, (never owning a convertible again ‍) second was a 99 oz rally with all the GST cosmetic goodies, last one was a clapped out 95 that I threw a widebody kit on
