The Connecticut Stinger Thread

What time? I might be able to f*ck off from work a little early...

 

New CT member here who's taking inventory of a new GT1 on Monday and just wanted to check in. I live in New Britain and work out of Waterbury, hopefully I could meet some of you guys and talk cars.

Regards,

My outgoing baby 2011 STi

 

Welcome to the party. What color are you getting?

 

Thank you! I'm picking up the white version. White with hits of carbon fiber is the look I want to go for on this car and I see there are some nice options out there.

 

All is pretty good until I hit Waterbury, literally, LOL!

 

Well dont leave us hanging. Did you get your car?

 

Yes Sir!!! Another proud owner over here

Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely CT weather... I live on the Mass boarder, so I got 10 inches or so... might get another 8 tonight... oh joy...

 

Western mass I take it? Here in southington we have a sloppy mess, few inches of snow, and some ice nonsense

 

Granby, CT so might as well be western Mass. Sounds like I might get another 5 inches tonight so here we go again...

 

Exactly, I was so looking forward to seeing how this car handles the white stuff.

 

From my experience last year I can say it does very well even on the stock all seasons. You will not have a problem getting going or turning. I would say the biggest issue you will find is in braking, where the weight of the car becomes very apparent. I found myself sliding to a stop often. So in short it's great un snow, but get snow tires

 

I currently have 18s with all seasons but these will become my winters and I'll get 19s for summer. I've ridden on sport/summer tires on my STi the past two winters (not the smartest idea) so these all weathers should be a bit of a step up . I do appreciate the braking advice, I almost forgot how heavy the car is and how long it would take to stop.
