Has anyone seen any Stingers in the wild?

[Flameangel]

Saturday afternoon while getting on the southbound Turnpike off I-595, close to Fort Lauderdale, saw a black GT hauling (Mexico speed) on the fast lane. I was in my Optima SX and attempted to catch up to no avail. That is until 1 minute later a FHP screams by, lights and siren blasting and proceeds to catch up with him/her around Hollywood and pull them over. I saw a pair of angry looking Troopers get out of and begin walking to the GT while I drove on by. Was it anyone from here?

If it was someone on here, doubt they will incriminate themselves by owning up to it

Saw one yesterday afternoon, High Chroma Red backed into the end parking spot behind the movie theater. My first two thoughts when I saw it was 1) Another Stinger spotted in the wild! 2) Must get photo for video evidence.

Sadly wife was in the car and figured she would think I am a nut job taking photos of other cars.

I show my hubby " pics " Iv'e taken of other Stingers or funny plates, he just remarks " you Stinger people are crazy " , meh.... who cares ?

A trio of sightings yesterday.
1. HCR turning onto Seven Hills Rd from Old Windsor Rd
2. Micro Blue westbound on Windsor Rd (no pic)
3. Black turning onto Valerie Avenue from Old Windsor Rd

Now that @MerlintheMad has hinted at the validatity of my 5 in a day sightings there's no need for me to contribute in this thread. Buggered if im going to provide photographic proof.

And you were nowhere near Melbourne. I've decided that if/when I finally reach 100 wild sightings, that's when I'll close my log book and call this silliness at an end. Hah.

(but I can't give a thumbup without a pic, it just isn't ethical; you don't have to have a pic for each one, just one pic will do)

And the confirmed & validated sightings continue, loving my new BlackVue DR750S upgrade, so easy to download to validate actual sightings.

Is a laughing smiley more worthy/desirable than a thumbup? Why won't your wife take a pic? Easy to do.

Wow, look at that, a mere 21 seconds between the Orange and the Yellow. Too easy.

Some should never be allowed anywhere near a Stinger.

Besides owning the Stinger, I have yet to see another one in my area besides the ones at dealerships. I am in the Kent/Fedway area of WA. Anyone seeing them around in their respective areas?

I am always on the lookout trying to find them...mainly because they are so nice to look at...lol

I have seen very few in Wisconsin maybe 3 in the last 3 years.

Normally, a Stinger sighting is great, and I was especially happy to see a blue one parked in our neighborhood while walking with my wife. I figured it was an opportunity to point out its virtues and continue laying the groundwork to get one.

Nope. She saw the C pillar and immediately started griping about the visibility. Didn't like its low stance either. Unmoved by the hatchback utility. Generally negative reaction overall.

Oh well, I guess she won't have to drive it!

What kind of DRLs are those on the Panthera Metal? Is that "lower spec" with the 2.0L or just bottom 3.3L trim?
