Edit: I meant Sunset Yellow in the title, sorry. If so, I'm surprised; I thought it was more of a golden yellow. If this is the real thing, I like. It's almost the same shade as my beloved Genesis coupe:

I think they chose them because they're supposedly number one in volume in CA. The salesguy made it sound as if it was making the rounds so it should be hitting other dealerships soon.

Agreed, it really is a relief. My current car has no spare, no tools, nothing back there other than a compressor; it's nerve-wracking taking a trip knowing that if you get a flat, you're at the mercy of roadside assistance, which could take hours.

I thought it was a hoax but apparently there's a real live Stinger GT on display at Carson Kia. It's not for sale obviously but it's a good sign when they start showing up at dealers to build up public interest. I spoke to a salesman to see if they had any idea when they would start arriving...

I saw this in a walk-around video review posted on YouTube yesterday; it definitely has a compact spare, which is a relief...

So, I received another Stinger survey from Strategic Vision, this one only asking one question. I made the mistake of opening the email when I was half-asleep, though; apparently I answered the question, but I canNOT remember what they asked. Has anybody else received a survey from them yet...

Definitely can't stand this kind of dangerous driving but it at least shows the Stinger is stable and planted: https://youtu.be/2C6z4Ye6WWU

The specs that have been released say it will have a spare, but, we've seen shots of the trunk and it appears the battery is where the spare would normally be. So, where does the spare hide, in the side of the trunk perhaps? Hmmm....

ONLY 3k over for a Hellcat? They were asking 10-20k over down here...lol. Price gouging is disgusting. I will discuss it with my dealer when I leave my deposit (should be next month, if they get invoices 60 days before the cars arrive), and make sure they won't be trying that nonsense.

The only thing that makes me nervous about dealers gouging is remembering that some dealers in this area did it with the K900 when it was brand new. And on their sister side, dealers did it with the Genesis coupe, because it was the first of its kind for Hyundai. So, I can see some dealers...

This is probably the best sounding aftermarket exhaust so far. I couldn't help laughing though at how it sounds when revved with the valves closed; sounds like someone blowing through a straw...lol.

[ohcrap] Well at least she can dance for a big girl....

I honestly don't know, sorry. I recall a good number of owners upgraded their intercoolers, but, I'm not sure if it was due to cooling issues or just in the interest of maximum cooling. I'm hoping Kia gives both Stingers a decent intercooler. My current car has a lousy stock one, (so bad that...

That's the beauty of turbos. Heck my current car picked up ~60hp, ~100 lb/ft with just a tune. They say you're taking a chance with your warranty with a tune but they drive SO much better, it's worth the risk to me...

With that version I want to say with just a tune they were unlocking 40+ peak HP easily. The dyno posted on BTR's site shows a gain of 51 HP, but doesn't mention if it was just a tune only. Either way, I recall people making big numbers off those tunes, so I can't wait to see what they do for...

I remember reading in one of the early Stinger articles that the 2.0 is related to/a version of the turbo 4 from the Genesis coupe. If this is accurate, SFR and BTR will have a tune for that one in no time, since they both still offer them for the Gen coupe. I still have my fingers crossed...

Based on the logo, I think they're called Nonstop? More pics and vids, including a drive off, from their FB page: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2045730382324865&id=100006637683983

I already know what my first purchase will be; rear LED turn signal bulbs. Drives me crazy when car makers build a car with LED everything except turn signals. I may also get LED reverse lights, if it doesn't come with them already...
