Your quote is comparing "GTs" to mid-engined exotic sports cars. So yes, they would have a softer ride than, say, a Ferrari F40. It also specifically says that GTs should be able to seat 2, or 2+2. So a Corvette is a grand tourer, as is a Ferrari 456, a Porsche 928, and most Aston Martins...

How did you get down to $599 a month? 48 month lease? I also leased over Memorial Day. I am planning on buying the lease out ASAP and refinancing, so I didn't really care about the overall terms of the lease deal, but I got the car for dealer invoice plus freight and DMG, which worked out to...

Yep, that was my last car. I totaled it in May and couldn't find a reasonably priced manual on the used market, so that's why I ended up with the Stinger. The Stinger is a better car in many ways, but I will miss the SS and I will miss the manual I had in mine.

Slightly off topic, but you've got the SS all wrong. GM actually sold way more of those than it was shooting for. In the early part of the last decade (2001 to 2003 timeframe), they negotiated a new labor deal with the union at the Holden plant in Elizabeth, South Australia. I don't remember all...

No, my GT2 is definitely too soft. I agree that the rear is underdamped. Oddly, the front seems to be fine. The problem is most apparent after dark on the beginning of the spur expressway I take to get home. It's a long sweeper that I can take comfortably at 70 mph or more (rated speed is 45...

Anyone on here from Maryland, DC, or NoVA? Let's get some meets together! I am up in Owings Mills, northwest of Baltimore, but I am used to driving to the DC area for meets.

Eh, I'm not so sad. The owner can go out and buy a brand new one to replace it. I got my Stinger because I went to a track day in my Chevy SS and it was raining. I hit a puddle on the straight, spun out, and sideswiped the wall going backwards. The floorpan was slightly bent on the far left...

I thought I had submitted a reply to this, but apparently not. It seems unlikely to me. Currently, there are five cars with comparable classing: the 3-series, 4-series, ATS, Charger, and 300/300C. The 3-series, 4-series, and ATS are available in either RWD or AWD with a turbo 4 and a...

No way is it going to be HS. That's the slowest class. Not much besides NA 4 cylinders and a few older NA V6es in there. My guess is DS for the 2.0T (similar to older BMW 3-series for RWD and Subaru turbo cars like the WRX and Legacy GT for AWD) and FS (similar to other RWD turbo 6-cylinders)...

FYI, I submitted a request to the SCCA Solo Committee asking them to class the GT. It has not been classed yet, so it technically has to run in SS, but will likely be in FS given its technical characteristics, so I am going to run it in that at an event I'm signed up for on July 7.

Yep, made sure to do both of those. And yes, this is my first auto car. It finally got too hard to find a high performance sedan with a manual. It happened again today, and I found that if I hold it all the way back for a couple seconds, it goes into D. I will update if it gets worse. BTW, I...

I was stopped with my foot firmly on the brake pedal while trying to shift to D. I was driving forward out of a parallel parking spot and had tried to shift directly from P to D.

Nope. I have a RWD GT2. Heated steering wheel is not available in the RWD cars at all, at least in the US. Speaking of which, how hard do people think it would be to add? I wanted RWD, but also really want a heated steering wheel.

Car has around 1000 miles on it. Went to shift into Drive to leave work and it kept dropping back into Neutral. Tried 5 or 6 times with same result, including putting it back into Park before trying to shift to Drive again. And yes, I was pushing in the button on the side of the shifter before...
