Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

[JustThatPenguin]

This is the second time this has come up in a couple of months. Is it the same Stinger? Could there be TWO "Stinger-STINGER"s out there?

Wow I didnt even notice that. I think it's the dealership thats doing it. I've been to a dealership in Vegas, Orleans and Georgia that had replaced the kia for stinger in the back. The one in Vegas had double stinger.

Maybe he was on a test drive..I was at GWK on Monday & they have 2 used Yellow GT’s for sale both had just over 10k on the clock & one was $53K drive away. I asked the salesman if they were buy back repaints but was non-comittal & tried to dodge the question, funnily enough @FitR6 was there too & was with me when questioned.
We also checked out the new Cerato GT in Sunset Orange, very impressive, like a mini Stinger inside & not to bad for $31,900 drive away

Yes the Cerato GT has so many Stinger interior features. I liked the colour too.

Is the Cerato the equivalent of the Forte? Though it looks better. Much better.

Yep, same car just different names.

Driving past a Kia dealership here in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, and I see a Sunset Yellow Stinger sitting in the outside yard, did not see which model it was, but just out of curiosity. might call the dealer Monday to find out about it, at least an hour later, driving out from the shopping centre, i see a Silver Stinger, female driver, it's been a few months since my last sighting.

probably. used to see the same red stinger gt on my way to work, would pass them, honk, wave....nothing. to them, its just the flavor of the month.

There is a blue GT roaming around Southington, CT though I haven't seen it in awhile. There is also a blue base model but other than that my Red GT1 is usually the only one on the road when I'm driving around

5:30 this afternoon had a Snow White Pearl GT pass me heading the opposite way on Sparks Rd Halloran. We exchanged waves as we passed each other. He was coming off the M1 Motorway, I was just about to get on it.

The SWP that regularly passes my house has added an exhaust. I can now hear him coming before he comes into sight.

He may have no exhaust. Was this it? Lol

You might be closer to the truth than you think. My first thought was that he had a hole in his muffler but he’s always at low revs when he goes past so it’s hard to tell. I’ll flag him down one day and ask.

No one sees my Stinger in the wild
Serves me right for taking my car out only on weekends

I only drove my Corvette when the forecast called for less than 10% chance of rain. Subsequently I only put about 24k miles on it over 14 years. I much prefer just having one car that's both fun to drive and utilitarian that I can enjoy every day. Of course it gets terrible mileage but I wouldn't have bought it if I had a long commute, but I don't have any expectations of this car being worth a penny in 10 years when the warranty is up and I'm ready for something new, so there's no way I'm keeping it pristine for the next owner!

Funny.. my (20-y.o.) daughter bought a mint '98 C5 which is now her primary daily driver, to keep the miles off her '14 Challenger.

Funny, didn’t think your family was into French cars ...

I saw a Black Stinger pass the other way as I was waiting to turn left into the north end of Jordan Landing (wild sighting number five; no chance for a pic, s/he was gone in six seconds). Could have been @Gordo, or one of the other two Blacks he's mentioned, or somebody else entirely by now. This was late yesterday afternoon, less than five minutes before I curb rashed my LF wheel, aaagain (which is why I didn't think to mention this sighting at the time, heh).

Three Stinger sightings since Sunday...

- Wegman's parking lot in Leesburg, VA. Saw a Blue GT pull into a parking space about 50 feet away as I was loading groceries into the back of my wife's SUV. I said "Hey, nice Stinger!" as he walked by which led to a brief conversation. I recommended the guy join these forums.

- Red Stinger sighted this morning entering JBA this morning...probably bumping some MyTunes tracks. (Most of you probably won't get this extremely exclusive reference, sorry!)

- I passed a Ceramic Silver GT w/ red interior westbound on 267 near Tyson's about 4pm today. The young man with glasses driving kept his hands at 10 and 2 and eyes on the road while I honked and waved beside him.

Were you in your Stinger? That is key to not having others think you're a maniac.
