New to group

[faststinger]

Hi Folks, I'm new to the group. I leased a Federation orange 2019 GTS for a few months, then traded it in on a Kia Niro Hybrid (I know dumb, right?) but I was moving from IL to SD and also needed something that got better gas mileage. I also own a Porsche 911 and a 2LT Heritage Ed. Corvette but the Stinger was such a head turner. Well, I couldn't NOT live without a Kia Stinger that I won't get rid of. So I bought a used 2018 GT2, Ceramic grey with red interior. But, it is the middle of winter, I left it set out for a week after delivery and the battery died so I need to recharge it OR buy a new battery. I was searching for answers here. But I'm also looking to upgrade some parts this summer - get some carbon fiber parts, etc. So I'll be asking lots of questions. See ya around. JS

Welcome to the hive! Post up some pics when you get a chance. If the battery isn't too dead a charger should bring it back, or boost it and go for a drive (30min+)

Fun(ny) intro! Dying battery is a recurring topic on the forum; but still not a common issue. Yours in the used car was probably already moribund; a new one will fix that. Welcome to the forum.

Hey FastStinger,

Congrats on your new GT2 and welcome to the Stinger Forum.

Seems like you have a pretty neat history with some very incredible sports cars.

I saw you were interested in some carbon fiber products for your Kia Stinger GT2.

We have a lot of products available for your car whether that is performance or cosmetic.

It's likely the original battery, so good chance it's done enough cycles it could stand replacing.
