just a quick "hi!" to the other stinger lovers out there.

july 2021 i saw a black one driving thru our small town and had to find out what it was. fortunately hubs and i were at a point where we needed an additional car so of course it had to be a stinger. we had not seen or heard of the car until then. i found, test drove and bought it within a few days. it hadn't even made it to the used car lot.

my first car out of high school was a standard model white 1994 mustang, manual transmission, and man i missed that car when it was gone. i knew one day i'd own another sports car but didn't know it would be this awesome. i've never been "into cars" as far as replacing/adding parts, etc. but am starting to look into those things with the stinger. whether i'll invest in that is tbd. i know i'll learn a lot on this forum!

final comment here - the license plate starts with PSM so when we talk about the car we call it the "pretty sexy machine." i never knew a car could be this fun.

Congrats on your purchase! Your Stinger intro sounds similar to my story in that I had never heard of a Stinger, nor seen one until July 2021 (same time). It really attracted me. Was in the market for another car, researched it, and bought one in September 2021. I have not found a need to do any performance mods. It has plenty of power for my taste and driving habits. But there is lots of knowledge here on the forums for those that like to modify. Enjoy and welcome!

Greetings. Modders make the most posts. My car is bone stock other than aftermarket wheels (during the non-winter months) and anti-roll sway bars, which I am very glad to have; you'll read more about these if you spend any amount of time reading on the forum.

Congrats on the new car.

If you are looking at mods, I highly suggest upgraded sway bars. The car handles so much better after adding them.
