New 2019 GT2 owner

[ZaphodBx]

Greetings all!

I went in a couple of weeks ago and traded my 2014 S6 for a 2019 Stinger GT2 in Ceramic/Red. So far, I'm loving it! Definitely not as fast off the line as the S6, but it's plenty quick, and I feel like it corners better.

Also, since Audi screwed me on my CPO and wouldn't honor the warranty, I'm really happy to have 10 years of stress-free driving in front of me.

This forum was definitely helpful in convincing me that the Stinger was the right car for me, so thank for that!

Here's a pic right after getting it tinted. Stingers in the mist...

That's pretty good sensitivity if you can tell the difference of three tenths of a second! I can tell the difference between c. $30K+. I think you did the "right" thing.

Welcome!

G’day, welcome to the forum & to the Stinger Owners Fraternity, enjoy your new ride.

It definitely seems noticeable off the line, maybe the v8 helps before the turbos kick in. Both are pretty low turbo lag anyway. I’m definitely loving the Stinger, in any case. Very fun to drive, and better tech than my Audi even had. Obviously the 5 year difference help, but still...

I’m also assuming my first brake change (fronts only) won’t be $2500 on the Stinger, which was quite a surprise on the S6. It’s not only the initial purchase that gets you! Then factor in the $3k in stuff that should have been covered by the CPO that they hosed me on, and I wasn’t a very happy customer.
