Hello from sunny (usually) Las Vegas!

Hello everyone! I'm Scott from sin city (Las Vegas, NV). I recently purchased my Silky Stinger GT2 about a month ago. A little backstory, I was in the market for a new car and was focused on getting a Dodge scat pack charger (SRT engine). I even had one picked out in California. The problem, I had never driven one. I heard all the power stuff and all the reviews...but never even sat in one.

So I planned on test driving one. Around the same time I had heard of this thing called the Kia Stinger. I saw some of the commercials, but didn't think much of it. BUT...they had a Kia place right down the street from where I was going to test drive the charger. So I setup an appointment for a GT1 Stinger test drive. I figured, why not...I mean it's not like I'm going to buy one. LOL!!

The wife and I show up at the dealership and the online sales rep greets us and hands us off to the salesman (he was a new one, we could tell). He brings around the white GT1 and begins his speech. I walked around while he was talking and didn't give him much mind. I then sat in it and wow! I was pretty impressed. We then began to drive and let's just say, wow again! The power, the technology, the comfort... nice! We then came back from the test drive and I told him we had a few other places to go. He did try to keep us, but I was firm on heading to the dodge place.

We get to the dodge place and test drive the charger. WOW!! Lots of power, loud as heck, and all that good stuff. I test drove it the same route as the Stinger. We came back and they did their best to sell us (of course)! So we drive off and all I could think about was the Stinger! I was not expecting it. The charger was, what it was. BUT...the Stinger was a shocker!! It just fit me better.

I'll end it this way, we drove back to the Kia place that night, went to the salesman and said "Sell us". While he was doing his back and forth thing, we saw the Silky GT2 in the showroom. My wife and I sat in it and said "This is the one".

Bottom line, I love this sexy beast! Thus far I've gotten 20% tint all around (70% front window), partial PPF, and ceramic coating.

So there's my short story. :)

Finally another Vegas guy. Got mine immediately off the truck at the end of November, and I have yet to see another one in town. Congrats and welcome! That smile won't go away for months. Mine still hasn't!
 
Fellow Vegas resident here. Although I am far away due to work. One of these days I'd like to organize some sort of meet for us stinger owners.

Yes! I should be back around summer time. Already 3 members strong! Before I left Vegas a month ago, I didn't see a single stinger but I did see a guila. Only seen one of those in person.
 
Congrats- looks beautiful in your driveway! I thought I wanted the Mustang, but after we rented one during vacation, I wasn't in love with it. Was keeping an eye on the Stinger and fell in love during the test drive. Spotted a Silky Silver GT at our dealership yesterday- beautiful color. It's a warmer silver and looks great on the car. Have fun!

No fur coats here, this is Vegas! Tv's and sunscreen!
 
@SonomaGT , yeah I test drove the white one and thought "nice"! Then I saw the silver and screamed out loud "must have now"! And this is why I don't play poker.
@Bradley G. , don't fugget about palm trees! Why we have so many damn palm trees, I'm sure I don't know why. Probably something about us not having state tax. :alien:
 
hey scott, we have a crap load here in florida, want some more?

I recently got my oil changed @ Findlay Kia, 5325 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89146 and they said they worked with Stingerhaus.
 
I'm from Vegas also.

I think there are 5 or 6 of us from LV on the site...I think? Welcome! So what Stinger did you get (color, model, etc)?

Thanks, I just got into Vegas last night. Drove 1700miles in my stinger to get home. I'll be posting a little review shortly on testing the GT part of the stinger gt. I'll go over there for an oil change soon and see if they have intakes in stock. Btw, I have borla exhaust for anyone wanting to hear it in person in vegas.
 
Update. Spoke to findlay kia. They are no longer doing stingerhaus parts. Nothing in stock.
 
I had a Daytona 392 and now have the stinger GT2.
