    The 20 Best Sleepers You Can Buy

    I think my 2018 Doge Durango SRT is one of better sleepers. It looks like mild mannered SUV but has 475 hp 6.4 liter HEMI v8. It’s an absolute riot. With launch control it takes down some very fast cars Out of stoplights.

    My second AX

    OK my second AX in F Street Trim. GT2 RWD Had bigger front Eibach swaybar. Car works better with bigger front bar for sure. Did get a little under steer but it will be easy to overcome with bigger front tire and some alignment tweaks . Had fun with driver of Mustang 350 R. Obviously he had...

    Who's experienced more than normal paint chips? Share your pictures

    My sense is that info in this post is a bit suspect. While yes some cars have had paint issues it?s not likely related to one nonexistent aluminum hood or etching primer. Probably more to do with curing process of paint.

    Clear bra wasn?t added to dealer sticker on my car? Wasn?t even mentioned. Just interesting that clear bras were available so early on . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Oh man this isn?t looking good. My worry is Kia knew about issue. Why would some of cars come with clear bras? I found that to be odd with my car. Has anyone gone to consumer union? https://consumersunion.org/ They work on these types of issues and highly recccomend them to anyone...

    SCCA Autocross class for GT2 RWD

    Curious does anyone know who makes dampers on GT2 car? Any sense to whether these dampers could be revalved? Doubtful but hey always a chance they used a more premium shock tube. Aside from lack of wheel width to F street competition there doesn?t seem to be much room to grab more negative camber.

    SCCA Autocross class for GT2 RWD

    But are rim sizes all 8? or do they get 8.5 rear in GT2 aWD? When I read general specs it looks like AWD gets staggered wheels. So they just mount skinny 225 on wider rear wheel?

    SCCA Autocross class for GT2 RWD

    Might be different. To me seems like RWD car has some advantage in AX but who knows once bigger tires are mounted with different swaybar AWD car might turn into monster that is able to turn better. Curious does AWD car have staggered wheels or do they have 19x8 all the way around?

    May 2018 Kia Stinger / Total sales volume US

    Curious what data do you have that confirms this? I have noticed rental car fleets have started to offer Stingers. Suspect Hertz and others aren?t buying GT models for their fleets. My bet is a bunch of 2.0 cars. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Stinger smacks modded 2018 Mustang GT in 1/4

    Yes however as indicated in real world Stinger GT AWD will always leave the line faster. And 10 speed mustang couldn?t get around Stinger multiple runs off camera as well. What I found impressive is that Stock Stinger was within roughly 3 seconds off a suspension modded Mustang on bigger...

    My Stinger umbrella

    Set up quick, very durable, unsure about battery replacement. I have used it on my suv too. Put on roof press down bar to activate suction cup, press button and put straps around mirrors and rear door handles. So easy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Love my Stinger GT2 but have concerns about the car when on twisty back mountin roads

    Curious what info is available that indicates UK model springs and dampers are different? Curious what part numbers are for these different springs and dampers? Northern California mountain roads are not too unsimilar to uk roads. But have to say my softly sprung Porsche is much firmer and...

    Shifting into Manual Mode

    Agreed auto trans in this car is ok for cruising on street. It?s absolutely terrible in more competitive driving scenarios. I?m wondering if somone might be able to hack oem trans tune and make manual truly manual. Also wish there was a way to speed shifts. The car when really pushed hard...
