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

Hi and thanks! Funny enough, I traded in a 2020 Charger Scat Pack Widebody for this car. I think I traded way up honestly

 

[Will I Am]

I have have yet to see another stinger in the wild. I’ve seen two in the last year and a half, but none in the month I’ve had mine.

 

[Koda]

How so? Where are you from?

I have have yet to see another stinger in the wild. I’ve seen two in the last year and a half, but none in the month I’ve had mine.

It took me over five months after I got my Stinger before I saw my first "Stinger in the wild"; and it happened to be a member on here. (he's either sold his Stinger, or lost interest in the forum for other reasons, since then) Since then I've seen 87 all told, the latest one just this afternoon: that is not that many in over three years.

I’m originally from a tiny little mountain top town in southern Tennessee on the Alabama border. It’s actually the southern most tip of the Appalachian mountains. Now I live up north in central Mass. Waaay too far from Dixie!

Congrats on the ride! Really interest in hearing your thoughts on the Stinger vs the Charger Scat Pack.

I had considered the Charger before deciding on the Stinger, but admittedly I never bothered test driving the Charger. I've done some sitting in it at dealerships and car shows, though.

Do you find the acceleration/speed to be a big difference? Granted, you may still be breaking in the Stinger and not pushing it (yet haha). How about the handling?

Any particular reason you decided to trade in the Charger? I took it off my list and I really wanted AWD for the winter, and my city has a lot of hills. Plus I got spooked on all the stories of Chargers/Challengers being stolen.
