Ahh Forums, new GT

[tysonk]

Its been a while since I spent time on car forums. Was in great Subaru clubs back in the day(2003-2008), NASIOC and local car clubs. Best part was meeting local people and working on the cars. So much last minute money spent at Harbor Freight, ugh. I learned so much though. Quickly we were taking complete suspensions of brand new cars for autocross event and time trials. I don't think I'll be doing major work like that to the GT but look forward to seeing other people's work. It's been years since I've had a fun car and driving it is a great joy.

I doubt anyone reads these posts but it really brought back a lot of memories.

Hello again to all the helpful car people out there!

Welcome to the forum... and to the “that’s a KIA” club. If you haven’t already - you’ll see what I mean soon enough. Enjoy! db

Quite a few people read these posts. Enough to not feel like you're speaking into a vacuum, anyway. Welcome to the forum. This is my first car forum experience (and my first, so far only, brand new car).

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. A real life "forum lover"! Awesome.... How long have you had your Stinger for? And what did it replace for you?

G’day @tysonk, welcome to the forum & to the Stinger Owners Fraternity.
Talking of suspension, the best mod for your buck is to upgrade the swaybars, most have swapped out OE with Eibach, difference is night & day & IMO makes this car a true GT.

Congrats on the car and welcome to the forum! An additional welcome to being an owner of the lovely Ceramic Silver.

Yeah I saw a couple videos saying the sway bars really tighten up and set the car more neutral leaning towards oversteer, which is the main reason I bought a RWD vehicle.

I have had EVO, WRX, ATS 2.oT

Really like the car but the paint is so thin. Compared to Cadillac for example paint its laughable.

welcome! i'm also pretty new here but also really enjoy forums... ( kinda a must when you own two ~~20 year old bmw's and a 21 y/o subaru as well haha)

Loving the car all around despite it's very few minor quirks fingers crossed that we don't see paint issues early on as this is our first new car..

Awesome congrats! You got the best color in my humble opinion.
