Hello. I have been lurking for a little over a year now. I purchased a 2020 Micro Blue GT2 in april 2023. I am still semi-new to the Stinger, but have been in many other car enthusiast clubs and forums. Stinger has become my "family friendly fun" vehicle as i now have 2 kiddos. I also have a '78 25th anniversary Corvette i am restoring for my father-in-law. Plans for the car will likely remain tame as this is a semi-daily driver (intake, exhaust, light tune, small visuals). My high power modding days are behind me until i can get my c5 z06.

Photos are from a recent paint correction/detailing i did about a month ago. Car had some heavy scratches and swirls from a previous life. I wish people knew how to take care of cars.

Enjoy

It replaced a 2014 Q50S. Before that i was into the modding game with a '14 Focus ST and a'08 Evo X. Sold the evo due to hard times. I miss that car. All soul, no frills. I'll see if i can find any photos from some of the work.

The newer Stinger is a good natural progression from the older Infiniti Q50S - which I've always liked. I once had a Focus but not the ST. I know the ST responded really well to mods. The Stinger actually does as well - but it's pretty darn good as it sits... The Evo X - every car enthusiast knows all about it!

Here's the Vette. Lift photo was at my buddies right before we replaced the radiator, thermostat, and fuel pump and lines. Was the start of restoring. Was a long day. She's come a long way since then. Finally got it down to new valve cover gaskets, fresh powder coat on the valve covers, and a fresh coat of paint all over. Then it will be about road worthy again.

Looks great! I hardly see these on the road anymore. So rare at this point. Keep us posted on progress…
