New GT owner

[jfowler85]

Hey guys, just wanted to say hi from sunny Tampa FL. Just picked up a 2018 GT this week. Looking forwarded to learning a few things here and getting some ideas!

New to the factory turbo car game, but not aftermarket performance. Been around a lot of LSx powered cars, and built a 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V back in the day - Turbo and some supporting mods put down close to 350 whp. Since then family and kids happened, so haven’t had much time to mess with a new toy. Looking forward to building this one down the road!

Good to have a family man with a new toy/project. Enjoy yourself. You have come to the source of ideas for the Stinger: most active demographic are modders here.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. How fast was the SE-R with those mods?

Best pass I had was 12.9 at about 110 I believe. That was on drag radials. It was hard cutting a good 60ft time with the FWD. I think (if it’s still up) there might be a video on YouTube of me running on a show called “Pass Time” on the Speed channel back in the day. I went 13.4 @ 90, because I missed 5th gear (they had a 6 speed with 4th gear ending at 100mph). Fun times though! I loved that car. Total sleeper unless the cutout was open.
