Not 'new' to the forums (joined a few months back), but never got around to making introductions... so here goes.
Bought a 2019 GT2 RWD in HiChroma red in January 2020... I've wanted this car since I first saw it as a concept car years ago.
I traded in my 2015 Cadenza SXL, which I really liked, but it was nearing end of warranty, and while the Lambda II is a very solid engine... the Cadenza just didn't have the performance I wanted. Interestingly enough, the suspension setup on that vehicle was always a bit harsh and 'crashy' at times. The Stinger has significantly better handling and road feel. And needless to say, the Lambda II RS with twin turbos is exactly what I was looking for. The practicality of the sport back was also a huge selling point for me.
I'm a big fan of the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4, soft enough to really grip, better performance in the wet than the 4S and the Cup 2 - perfect for 'spirited' daily driving.
You can check out my signature for some of the mods I've done so far. I have cold air snorkels from @Rakker on the way, and I just bought @343BlueR32 JB4 system... so that will be fun to install and play around with.
Pictures below are post-wash today (tires hadn't been dressed yet).
This has been a great community so far, thanks everyone!
