New 2022 Stinger GT-1 owner

[Posjr408]

Hello, just a new owner of the fabulous Stinger. Not much to say. I'm here to gather as much info as possible to continue my build in the right direction. Here's my current list of parts I've ordered so far.

Jb4
Mbrp cat back
Ark catless secondary pipes
Aem cold air
Hks plugs
Air intake snorkel
Gfb kit 2 blow off vavles
Mishimototo fmic
Eibach lowering springs with f/r swaybars

I'm not a cosmetic type guy. I like simple looking and fast. May only do carbon fiber hood and a rear spoiler next. Probably going to need better rear tires (rwd). Also considering meth injection if I feel I need more power after this.

That's my story.

Congrats and welcome
You’re off to a pretty good start…

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for you? I’m glad you found us.

Welcome to the hive! Post up some pics when you get a chance

 

[Posjr408]

Thank you.

Here is how she is sitting right now. Barely broke 300 miles yesterday. She has an appointment today for some window tinting.

What did this stinger replace for me? It currently is replacing my wife hahaha.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Howdy. This is your story, in the making.

 

[Posjr408]

Holy smokes, I'm here now getting windows tinted and they quoted me $1600 to wrap roof and c-pillars. Quoted me $350 each head light for a "special" tinted headlight wrap. Also quoted me 600 to wrap tail lights also with the spacial wrap.

I think I found my next diy challenge.

Congrats on the purchase. New owner as well here 19 stinger gt awd. Curious Will those lowering springs have an negative effect over time ? And do the front and rear sway bars need end links to prevent binding ?

Did MBRP release a version for the 2022? Due to different dimensions in the tip placement, I heard that it is a problem.

 

[Posjr408]

Oh no.... thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it's something minor I can weld up. Didn't realize it cut off for 2021.

Well shit if youre already spending that much, you may as well use the JB4 for logging and get a Lap-3 stage 2.5 ecu Tune, that will make you one of the fastest stingers out there.

Car only has 500 miles so far and thats just because I went out of town for the weekend. It's not daily driven but a weekend warrior. I liked the ideal the jb4 was easy to remove when taking it to the dealer. But it looks like I'm already at a different level. Thanks for the input I'll look into lap-3 now.

ironically enough the ECU swaps are even easier than pulling a JB4 because of fantastic positioning in the engine bay lol. all you need is a 10mm ratchet and a short extension.

Final answer?

 

[Posjr408]

I'm actually ording right now from k8 carbon hood, carbon deck lid, and carbon front splitter.

Wife is going to kill me if all this shows up at once lol

 

[Harshman]

Welcome!! Maybe let the wife drive it once in a while. Mine drives my 19 GT2 every so often and most is forgiven for a SHORT while.
