    Curious about previous rides...

    Nice. You can definitely tell my the trap speed that it had more low end grunt and the top end needed some attention. Still solid for a family sedan. I've seen some dip into the 12's.

    Curious about previous rides...

    Not a lot of people know about the Fusion Sport. They are pretty quick for what they are. Did you have anything done to it? I considered it at one point but it's too much of a sleeper and not sporty enough.

    (GT 3.3TT RWD) Tires For Winter / Unsure The Risks

    I drove winters on my G35 I have about 3 years ago and it was fine in the warmer months. If I remember correctly, I put them on in September. Still warm, didn't snow for awhile but I said what the heck. They were actually quieter than the Firestone's I had on there before I mounted the winters...

    (GT 3.3TT RWD) Tires For Winter / Unsure The Risks

    I have a winter car. Please do yourself a favor and buy a $5k daily driver. Your Stinger will thank you as well as the resale value putting those miles on it. I only drive the Stinger on nice days and the daily driver gets all the attention. A set of tires will probably set you back a grand so...

    0-60 Pulls. Pretty Impressed!

    Not sure if you have seen the video, but there is a guy that launches from 2nd and gives him better times. He's running JB4 as well and has traction issues. That seemed to have solved his issues. I tried it once and forgot i had the shifter in "manual" and hit the rev limiter pretty flippin hard...

    0-60 Pulls. Pretty Impressed!

    That's an astute comment to make because you're exactly right. I've had my fair share of power throughout the past decade of driving and I'll always want more. I'm not totally convinced a 4.2 sec is the best you can get out of it. I'm speculating that I am around 320whp with drop in k&n...

    0-60 Pulls. Pretty Impressed!

    Evening, Did a few pulls tonight. It's been above 90 for the past week during the day so I haven't had much pickings when it came to perfect timing. Draggy is cool and I'm glad I invested in one. Only mod is drop in K&N filters. Quickest Valid 0-60 mph: 4.52 sec Quickest of the night w/2.74...

    2020 AWD Stinger GT 0 - 60!

    Yeah I would definitely take some out...there will be a flat spot on your tires before long. If stock tires, see the door sill manufacturer sticker and it will have on there the recommended PSI. I believe it states 35 PSI all around. When wanting grip and times, a lower PSI will yield more grip...

    2020 AWD Stinger GT 0 - 60!

    Nice job NightShifter. My best with Draggy is 4.62 with a passenger and 40 psi in the wheels. Dealership had them at that PSI. Will be lowering a bit so more traction is had. Looking to get into the low 4.5s, maybe even a 4.4. We'll see!

    It Took Me Almost 3 Years. '20 GT

    They did it on two of the Stingers they had, including mine. I talked with the Sales Manager and he stated that is the "in" thing nowadays. I politely told him it would be harder to sell that way with the other two but I get why he does it; trendy. Not in my book.
  11. Stingin' Away

    Well I haven't even had my new Stinger two weeks yet and this happened yesterday!

    Ouch.... Glad you both are okay. Hate to see this, especially being only two weeks old. Keep us updated on the process and hopefully your back gets better.

    2020 AWD Stinger GT 0 - 60!

    LOL That driver's manual is the difference between a win and a loss. The GVWR is 5004 lbs. I'd have to take it to a scale house here in town to see what it actually is. Between RWD and AWD, 153 lbs is a good amount. Also, the additional of a sunroof adds weight. I'd say it's close to a 200 lb...

    2020 AWD Stinger GT 0 - 60!

    With the weight difference being a RWD and only a GT, I think I have the advantage over AWD in perfect conditions. Mind you, everyday scenarios will be in favor of the AWD for obvious reasons. I have the drop in K&Ns and you can tell the difference. Personally, I wouldn't mess with CAI as they...

    2020 AWD Stinger GT 0 - 60!

    Nice job! I have a 20 GT RWD and think I can really get into those numbers if I'm careful. I only have K&N drop in filters but we'll see. I'll be grabbing a draggy soon and testing it. Hopefully see numbers like this.

    It Took Me Almost 3 Years. '20 GT

    Dealership took care of the wrap today. Looks much better! Not a fan of the black out but the black wheels/roof combo are growing on me. Added K&N panel filters and it does help with throttle response and upper end power. And no that isn't the placebo effect.... Ran it for 10 or so minutes to...
