Hi all, new to theses forums but thought I would get some thoughts on this....

Hey folks, keep the tech discussions over in the tech forums - this is for "everything not Stinger" and intros. Hence my initial response.

Reason is, if someone is looking for info like this, they won't think to come to the lounge.

cool..!!
how old is yours and how many k's have you done so far?

I’ve had mine just shy of two months and hit 3000 KM today. Booked in for first service next week.

Our Stingers are actually much quicker than the V8 SS!i

Out of the hole I totally agree. Top end torque I’m not so sure but I’ve not had mine long enough to fully test it out. Once the SS got rolling it felt unstoppable but I have to say I’m loving the line speed of the Stinger.

Yeah the Stingers strength is definitely off the line and up to about 80mph. But I agree, there's almost nothing like the torque from a V8! On a roll my big-block 455ci Trans-am would whoop 911's all day long. Luckily, we no longer need illegal speeds to enjoy all that power.

My memories of my Formula 400, ahhhh, torque! Lighting up the tires (not Hellcat but) it was fun.

Exactly! My Trans-am would almost lift the front end off the ground at launch, but then it would just start spinning tires.

I admit I do miss that car sometimes, but now I have a luxury GT that gets 25mpg and still give me 90% of the performance! Amazing world we live in today, but still nothing like the classics.

This is so much faster than my Firebird and even prettier. Though I have that special place in my heart for the GreenBird. I got many compliments on that one. This one too. That one sounded better. Hard to beat a big V8.
