Just came back from the track and had a long and fun evening with the car. To say the least the car put many smiles on peoples faces. Attached are the best two runs of the night. Car is completely stock running 98ron (93 US Equivalent) with the spare tire, floor mats and headrests removed.

My friend with the Jun BL cat-back, added some Boostane and ran a 12.6 flat.

Very good times for a stock Stinger. Mind I ask, what is your altitude and are you RWD or AWD?

Thanks,

Dan

Impressive times. Did you get a lot of people asking you questions about the Stinger?

I bet the Corvette driver didn't expect that.

Very nice consistent runs. Did you upload footage from the car mounted GoPro?

Nice! What trim level is that? And did you use launch control?

It is the top trim in our region which is almost the equivalent to the GT2 trim in the US. Yes, used launch control.
