A guy on the Stinger Owners AU/NZ Facebook site posted the other day that he just crossed Australia from Sydney to Perth - 3,923kms (2,437mls) one way & stated not a single issue with the car.
So it got me thinking as most of us have had our Stingers for a while now, it would be interesting to know what are the longest trips everyone has taken, just a brief as detailed below based on an actual trip.

This is my longest trip so far
Sydney NSW to Mooloolaba QLD - 2,300kms (1,430mls) round trip & no issues with the car.
 
Wow!
well I crossed Germany but you know this country is not that big :laugh:
1st trip Hamburg to Stuttgart about 800km
2nd one 2 days later, From Stuttgart back to Hamburg and from there to Bremen, see the picture below

I drove both days in smart mode. I had 5 people on board and the car was so heavily loadet up, that we had to push down the trunk with 2 people to get it shut. I drove average 140Km/h. 2 Stopps per trip. Used 3 tanks of gas in total.

I once drove for about one kilometre with a police car 2 cars back from me. Longest, most law abiding kilometre of my life. :sleep:

On my vacation this year i drove around 2500km from stockholm sweden, thru denmark and down into germany and back.
Fuel consumption was as lowest at 8.4L/100km.

Does that say "Fart info" on the display? Just asking for a friend cause he thought it was funny. :whistle:
 
Longest trip so far (have taken four road trips) was in August, Salt Lake City to Atlanta Georgia, up to Deal's Gap (the Tail of the Dragon) and back to Atlanta, then returned to Salt Lake City: over 4K miles. I reckon total miles for the four road trips is well over 9K, all without a single hiccup.

haha yes it says Fahrt-Info, I assume for you it says something like trip info.
fahrt = drive, trip, ride ...

Fart in swedish means more speed.
 
My longest trip isn’t that long in comparison to what’s been posted here, but if my car could talk it could give you some “fart info” :p :rofl: :whistle:

Next time she complains I might have to try telling the wife someone in Sweden just wants me to drive faster
 
So in Sweden you can be booked for excessive farting and farting over the limit.:D

I did about a 1500 mile round trip, from Los Angeles to a campground north of Santa Rosa and back. This was about 3 weeks after I'd bought the car so I'd just finished the break-in period. It ran like a champ and hauled all my camping gear easily, didn't even need to drop the rear seats down.

Did it make the 5 drive better? Did you push it at the grapevine (uphill)? ;)
 
Longest road trip so far, about 2000 miles: Last October - fall road trip from Grand Rapids to see the youngest bro in Madison Wisco and sisters-in-law in Minneapolis. Through the congested-freeway wasteland of Chicagoland, across the Kettle Moraine, then North through tree-lined twisty 2-lanes in the north-woods of the upper Great Lakes... in glorious fall colors. Semi-epic. Made me appreciate the true 'gran turismo' soul of my Stinger: long legs on the freeway; great comfort all the way (love the driver-seat thigh-extension) and great tech; power to blast by the Winnebagos; plenty of room for my (wife's) stuff, and a head-turner in town. Track below. Squigglies are side trips.

On the way home, I definitely took the 5 and opened her up, also got the hang of the gadgets like the LCA and smart cruise control. But on the way up I took PCH and the 101 which was absolutely delightful. Felt like I was really getting the grand touring experience.
