Utah Stingers

What is your impression with the feel of your car now?
I think anyone can contest to this, it feels like a whole new car! A millions times better when coming in and out of corners! I took it up Big Cottonwood and over Guardsman Pass a couple weeks ago and it performed way past my expectations and that was without the springs, as I am still waiting to put those on.
 
I did call them and they said that they are no longer doing it and referred me to LUXE.
Luxe is awesome, make sure to get the tour while you're there.

I need to do this! The floating feeling drive me nuts. Can you share a picture of you car? I'm want to see the car with the black rims.

I am sad to say this, but I have not taken a good photo in a few months. Even after installing the exhaust and sway bars, so I will get a good one this weekend. In the meantime here is the last one I took.

I see chain link. Yes, you can do better. :P
 
A little later, but here is a slightly better photo!

I know we haven't had a recent meet/cruise materialize yet, but I'm willing to get a plan together and see if we all can get together before the winter hits us! For the ones who would be interested I wanted to see which would be best for everyone, a Saturday or Sunday and mornings or evenings?
I personally enjoy the Sunday morning cruises for the less crowded canyons, but I want to make sure we pick a day that works for most! :thumbup:
 
Saturday morning is when "we" met last time.

I think Saturday is the most flexible day for people, so now I was thinking doing a shorter driver up Little Cottonwood or something a little longer up Big Cottonwood and back down or even over Guardsman Pass if there is a desire for even longer. Not sure what everyone's preference would be there?
Either both places have decent places to meet up before going up, they both have the ParknRides that are close by and Big Cottonwood even has Porcupine Grille for food or Alpha's Coffee right there we can meet up before going as well.
Another option I thought of would be going to a Cars and Coffee? Envision does a decent one every last Sunday of month and would be pretty cool to have a couple Stingers show up. I saw a Federation Orange a couple months back, but didn't see the owner. There is another one every Saturday over in Sandy as well.

Any time I've tried to drive up any of the canyons they've been packed full of slow cars and ruined any chance at a fun drive. Not sure about everyone else.

Nearly always true, that: but yesterday, Big Cottonwood, going up, was largely traffic-free: just a chance thing, and uncommon. A "fun drive" would have to be seen as the gettogether and not any opportunities for "hooning". :P
 
I think it is a chance things and also weather and event thing too, if its super nice and a holiday or some other event at Snowbird forget about it, but I've had some decent runs up on and down on a random Saturday and Sunday morning. I think meeting up beforehand would give those an option who don't want to go for a cruise a chance to still connect. More options tend to equal a potential for a greater turn out as well.

I know Jerry Seiner had about 20-30 2022's around March and last week or two when I checked they were down to 5 and expecting more to be delivered. Hopefully that means we see more around then more people find the forum and then potential bigger get togethers ;)

I don't think so, but I was curious if anyone is running an ECU or TCU tune from LOZIC? I have been looking at doing the JB4 with the TCU or going all the way and getting the ECU, TCU, and AWD tune but would love to feel the difference in person before committing.

If not, I have thought about just doing the JB4. Is anyone running just the JB4 and have any advice or recommendation?

Also updated my avatar for @MerlintheMad ;) and snapped a couple more this weekend!

Nice pics. I actually work in Millrock Park. I'm running the JB4. I haven't run it past map 2 and will probably never get into WMI, but it was easy enough to install so I thought I'd give it a shot.
 
I saw two other Stingers at Envision's C&C yesterday, was curious if it was anyone who is on here as well? I tried to keep an eye out to see if I could tell who was the owner, but I was only able to see them both peel off out of the parking lot ;)
 
Which "Envision" was that (we seem to have several options here)? What does "C&C" stand for?
 
Envision in Murray, they do a lot of wraps, tint, and PPF. On the last Sunday of each month they hold a Cars and Coffee or C&C and always have a really good turn out and collections of cars but this was the first time I've seen multiple Stingers so it was cool!
