Bye Stinger, I hardly knew you...

[Clockwork]

Roughly 9 months ago I purchased a used 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD in ceramic silver with red interior. It is a wonderful car, but I decided to move onto something else.

Last weekend I picked up a brand new 2021 GR Supra 3.0 Premium in turbulence grey:

Fun choice!

Maybe I will be back at some point with some future iteration of the Stinger or a Genesis variant. You never know...

Congratulations!

What a fantastic color choice for such an awesome car!

I love the Supra!

That car is lit.

Things I hate compared to the Stinger:

- No 360 cam
- No ventilated seats
- No easy entry/exit
- No hands free access to the hatch (Supra doesn't even have a button on the rear, you have to use key fob or button on inside of driver door)
- No Android Auto

Is that on all trims?

Is that on all trims?

Correct. Their Supra Connect app is also Apple only.

How much quicker does the Supra feel? Night and day?

The car looks amazing but I'm surprised it doesn't have Brembos in the rear.

How much quicker does the Supra feel? Night and day?

It depends.

The Stinger felt like it squatted more in the rear and lifted more in the front (giving the illusion of going really fast), but from an actual speed perspective the Supra is much faster. It's just less eventful.

It's expected though, it's a much smaller and lighter vehicle (what, 700-800lbs?).

The real difference is in the twisties. The Supra feels like a go cart. You can really push it. The Stinger (just by design) never really felt that good when trying to push the limit in that manner. I never faulted it though, I mean it is a larger sedan/GT car.

Awesome car for sure. Despite all of the hate for it being 98% BMW. Have fun in it!

 

[NS_Stinger]

Yeah that engine is a total beast, any plans to mod it?

 

[RedCal]

Enjoy!!

No, this is staying 100% stock.

No, this is staying 100% stock.

yeah yeah. We've heard that before

The modding vendors have been super accommodating to Supra owners. It's going to be hard to avoid that bug.

Nice BMW j/k - solid choice.

I love the color. I can't tell if this is a camera filter trick or the actual paint, but the blue/purple shift in the grey is really eye catching.

Just paint w/reflections. Its actually more grey outside of the sun.

Some might argue (from a drivetrain perspective at least) that's a good reason to get one.
