Knock Knock

GTS AWD - I have been reading the forums for a long time, then joined but quiet for the last 8 months. The Stinger is an addition. My daily is a rock solid 14 Accord V6 4D. Nearing 150K miles, it still runs like on day 1.

No real concerns about the Stinger except for the front brakes (first post was about them). I am methodically working my way through it based on all of the information within the threads.

My previous fun was the 350Z Grand Touring in LeMans Sunset Orange. I went shopping for a 16+ Chevy SS in Orange Blast Metallic but purchased the Stinger in Federation Orange instead. A good Orange is my favorite! The GTS will stay stock for now.

My '23 Stinger is actually my daily driver. Fun car for a daily driver plus love all the tech and sound system. And a great looking car inside and out. My fun car is a 2019 Corvette Grand Sport. Did the Tail of the Dragon with it last October. Heading back again this October.

I didn’t see your first post, so, welcome aboard! I’m glad you found us.

Tease!

I was expecting this thread to be about engine knock.

Welcome aboard.

I have been on the K8SS pads since 2023 October. The issue recently came back. The Stinger is not my daily but I do put miles on it like one. Mostly on open roads, highway, normal stop and go - Nothing harsh on the brakes. I was harder (maybe more spirited) on the 350Z.

Love the C7 Grand Sport! Would purchase one over the C8. In a C4 once upon a time and so much fun while it lasted.
