I think there are more than a few of us... I pre-ordered a white GT Limited with black interior last week... with white with red interior as my second choice. I live in Sturgeon County close to Edmonton and St. Albert.

Fellow Albertans... identify yourselves or at least let a fellow Albertan know if anyone gets word of delivery or actual delivery please!

Welcome Mickey. I live in St. Albert and ordered a Thunder Grey with red interior and I find out on Tuesday when it gets in.
 
Talked to the dealer today... they got their first GT Limited pre-order yesterday when it was to arrive Dec. 2nd... early... my ETA is mid-December... so I’m hoping in 2 weeks! Fingers crossed! @Moparab have you gotten your ETA yet? I’m sure you ordered yours well before me...

I was at the dealer today. My car is in port and is scheduled to be at the dealer on December 7th. I probably won't get it until about the 14th. They would like to have it on the floor for a couple of days and I'll be getting the chemical paint sealer and 3M done. Also the winter rims and tires will have to be mounted. They said they will be presenting me with a video of the cars arrival and showroom display....cool. They are talking about having a track day at the racetrack in the summer for Stingers and want to start a Stinger club.
 
Car is here and the thunder grey is even more beautiful in real life. I ordered winter tires and rims. They found some gorgeous black Kia 19's with Bridgestone rubber. Unfortunately there isn't much to choose from and they're expensive. 3000.00 bucks.

Excellent @Moparab ! Almost 2 weeks ahead of schedule... the pattern continues...
Did the rims have a model # and which Bridgestone tires are they?
 
I don't have the info at hand. They did confirm that 18 inch rims are not a good match. The 19 inch rims are from Kia . When I get the Model # I'll update.
 
I'm in Medicine Hat, and on the 2nd of November I ordered a Ghost Grey Limited with black interior. No eta to the dealership yet, though :( I'm hoping it will be here this week, based off posts I've read stating a few cars have already arrived.

Ahhh the waiting. It'll be worth it man! Christmas present. And no intentions on rubbing it in, but I'm picking my car up Monday from the dealer, all touched up and protection packaged up. Perhaps yours will arrive early!

I should also say: I'm in Medicine Hat.

My pre-order landed at the dealer yesterday... 11 days ahead of ETA! Picking it up Friday for a road trip with my son’s hockey tournament in Wainwright! Pumped!! Hopefully I can behave myself and follow break-in procedure... :D

Very nice! The white looks awesome on that car. The break-in guidelines recommend between 2000 and 4000 rpm. Put it in sport mode, and you really don't need more than 4000 rpm to have a ridiculous amount of fun. The roads in Medicine Hat are still dry, so I've been zipping around the last couple days in my Stinger. What a blast! I accidentally got it up to 4300 rpm (haha) when I turned out on the #1 highway. Almost shit myself when it hit 100 kmh in the blink of an eye.

Congrats man! You're gonna have a lot of fun.

Got mine in the Ghost Gray. God it's a fun car to drive... can't say enough about it.

All the options are amazing and work very well. The sport mode is tight and responsive, the comfort mode makes puttering around town a joy, and the transition from mode to mode is almost instant.

I do wish the sound system was a little higher quality, but it is still quite good. It will probably sound better as the speakers break in as well.

That's great! How much driving did you do the first day?

Oh I did lots. I drove 100 kms around town and on the highways on Tuesday, did another 150 kms yesterday. I like sport mode the best, but it sucks back the fuel. Hopefully my winter rims fit. The dealer found me some 18s with Bridgestone Blizzak tires. Hopefully they work okay.
