2019 KIA Stinger GT

[ATXGT]

Been waiting for the second model year for the Stinger and purchased a Micro Blue GT 11/20/2018. I have 1.5k miles on it and it has been everything I thought it would be! Everyone enjoy their Stinger!

Great! That's the latest production date I've seen so far. I'm glad your patience is paying off. Welcome.

Welcome! I love that blue, but wanted the red interior more. Turns out a good move, because (as I've said many times here), I did not need to drive a car that screams HEY OFFICER LOOK OVER HERE everywhere I go. I can't help myself.. lol..

Yes, it does get Johnny Law's attention!! They follow me, run my plates and move on.

They're just checking out your still exotic, rare car. (I've had three warnings, no violations; got all of them in the first three months. )

Last Friday I was trying to catch up to Stinger on busy I-15. Finally did and then noticed I was doing 97...

I haven't been pulled over yet. Thought yesterday was the day. 85 on I-15, but it was a SLC cop on the highway...who ended up passing me.

I took mine on the toll road here and got it to 96mph..80mph is speed limit on toll road and this sport sedan is quick and you don't "feel" it!!

Yeah, you really can't tell you are going that fast until you are already there. It's going to be worse when I put take my A/S off and put my summer tires back on

Yesterday afternoon I got to take one of my favorite bits of freeway at the speed I like: the interchange of south I-15 onto west I-215; I did it at c. 87 MPH, and went left to get around traffic lining up to exit onto Redwood Road; they were all going "slow" (under 80). I thought, I'll just pass these two and then get back over. By the time I was in front and lined up to take the exit I glanced at the needle right as it dropped below 100. And did it feel the least bit extreme? It never does. This car invites speed. My MO is like that: decide, hit it, slow down quickly. Try not to get into a habit.
