[MENTION=551]Alpha_Sting1[/MENTION] did you see of those Time Attacks fit the Stinger? Doesn't Kia and Infinti share the same 114.3mm bolt pattern?[/QUOTE [MENTION=615]Chi-Guy[/MENTION] Yes, I believe they are the same. Hmmmm, might be able to get with buyer and do a fitment check and see what 19x9.5 245/35 & 19x10.5 285/30 +22 looks like

i'm still on the fence only b/c it's a first production year vehicle, but I've had my on this stinger for awhile now. I'd be coming from my semi custom G37 sedan, but need bigger back seats now that I have 2 car seats to roll with. I'd probably go with the ceramic silver GT1 without all that safety crap. I turn that off in my AMG benz, stupid thing thinks it's smarter than me! lmao

One good thing about Kia is the long powertrain warranty which played a big factor for me getting this first production year.

How much horsepower was the 2.6L making?

320 bhp.

320 bhp.

I remember reading they were making crazy amounts horsepower but didn't realize it was that much. How does it compare to the Stinger?

LOL I'll try to remember that. Are there no Stingers to test drive before purchasing?

Yeah, the dealer offered me a test drive, but I was crazy busy at the time.
I guess dealers are used to fending off the test pilots, but this time it was a dealer almost chasing the customer across the yard with a set of keys (lol).
I'd also spent so long watching YouTube reviews that I didn't think I would find out anything I didn't know already.

And ... I think there's something just a little bit special about driving a car for the first time on delivery day: I wasn't allowed to test drive any of my toys as a kid.

Are the Stinger selling well in England? I'm starting to see more inventory at the dealer lot where I purchased mine.

I rarely test drive my new cars. I do the research and rely on professional drivers to evaluate the car. When I shopped price on my Stinger, I chose the best dealer offer and just ordered the car and gave them a down payment to seal the deal. They called me a couple of days later and almost begged me to come in and drive one, which I did. I wonder if they were either proud of the car (should be) or if they thought at my age I wouldn't like it or didn't know what I was buying.
