New Owner in Northern Va

[Cristobal09]

I just traded in a 2017 Dodge Charger Scat Pack for this new GT2 AWD and I couldn't be happier! It doesn't have the same v8 snarl so I ordered a new Borla catback to help fix that. I own my own detailing company and made sure mine didn't have dealer-installed swirls and scratches, which it didn't, thankfully. I fell in love with the Stinger when I first saw it nearly a year ago but I had just bought the Charger so I tried to hold back.

I couldn't hold back.

Good trade Anway, welcome to the forum and enjoy that beauty.

Welcome to the forums!

The Borla Catback will definitely give a better growl over the stock exhaust (no sound at all). It wont reach the potential of the Charger exhaust wise but gives it a MUCh better sound

Enjoy!

It was fast and a great car but wanted something easier to maneuver in traffic. Plus I fell in love the second I saw it after having my Charger for two months lol.

I know what you mean. First time I saw it was “what the hell is THAT!!”

I'm in Ashburn, close to Dulles. I have seen a couple of Stingers in the area, a Blue and a Ceramic Silver GT and a Blue 2.0T. The number of KIAs in my area has been growing, I see a lot more Optimas these days and a few Cadenzas, the old body style, not the new one. Soon, we will be able to d do a Stinger meet up, like when we were the early bunch with the Optima. I'm sort of bummed that I traded before hearing about the Stinger but as they say, everything happens for a reason. Maybe my wait will net me one with a brown interior.

Blue and a Ceramic Silver GT and a Blue 2.0T

The Blue 2.0T is more then likely me, running up and down 28 from 66 to Dulles and back.
Welcome @Cristobal09, good to see another NOVA Stinger here.

My wife bought a Niro last year and I was super impressed with it. Other than being slow af, its a great car.

Yep! Saw the car when it was getting on 28 when I was coming from Dulles. Yours was the first Stinger I saw on the road.

Well it’s not Stinger fast but if you move than shifter into sport mode (move towards driver) it’s pretty fun for what it is.

The Stinger made you weak. I understand.

 

[MerlintheMad]

I got challenged a couple weeks ago on the Fwy by a yellow Charger. It came alongside and did what I call the "turbo boot": you know, when the exhaust *blats* and the car does a little leap forward a couple of lengths, then drops back beside you. I smiled from ear to ear and kept my innocent eyes over my hood. The Charger went off disappointed. I still admire my self control.

If you ever see a red gt not awd that's me. I'm also out in Ashburn.

I'm about to leave "Stinger country", aka the Portland-Seattle area. I drive back to Utah tomorrow. I was looking during this past week, but didn't see a single Stinger.
