Hey guys have around 100,000 miles on my 18 stinger gt. Recently, it seems like i can feel literally everything on the road, my car shakes over bumps, weather its small cracks or just a cm difference in pavement i feel it and its terrible.

Thinkimg about going to my mechanic to replace struts and shocks, Curious to those who did it, did it increase your ride quality and how much do you think id be looking at.

Thanks yall

Hi ive been interested in these cars for a couple years now, ive previously owned a few trucks an infiniti g35 and g35x and a volvo s80 v8. I am in a position where im now seriously looking at a newer car, some questions I had about Canadian models.

I was wondering if there were any indigo editions or a gts variant sold in canada?
I also was wondering if the 2018 and 2019 models had a mechanical lsd in the rear?
Brochures ive found say 2020+ does on the higher trim level but nothing on the 18 and 19.
I'll do some more forum searching tonight but any knowledge of the Canadian models would be lovely!

As stated in the title, I am unable to access the forum where I live anymore (Kuwait).
It seems like you guys have changed some settings on cloudflare where it geo-blocks access.
It's not my IP as I have tried multiple ISP connections. Only got through with a VPN (:

I just got a 2018 gt2 with the 3.3tt and it’s awd. I got the car with a blown motor and I’m now in the market for a motor lol. When I was looking I found that the awd motors are a lot harder to find and cost about 2k more. From my understanding the long blocks are the same. So in that case can I just buy a motor that came out of a rwd and put it in my awd without modifications? Thanks in advance!

I recently went on vacation for nearly a month ...

Left Jan 5th, and Jan 30th is my first day back at my car...

I have a BM6 logging battery voltage measurements every 2 minutes....
Voltage can be seen fluctuating with extremely cold temperatures we had.

ZomboDroid_30012025013205.webp

Jan 22 was -16°C measured at the battery. Screenshot_20250130_155414_BM6.webp

And to my very pleasant surprise, she fired up with relative ease today, after 25 days of being parked. Cranking voltage only dipped to 9.01v

I honestly was prepared and expecting to come home to a dead battery.

I even recorded this video (for the sound), expecting the battery to be not powerful enough to start the car.



This was a very long post to simply say, my car started today, and I consider myself lucky. My original battery is 7 years old now, and I do nothing special to maintain it, other than disable ISG automatically every drive cycle

Funny or clever plates. Anybody seen any?

I saw 2 yesterday which made me chuckle.

On the back of an AMG CLA45 - “AMGOMG”

And on the back of a Toyota Hilux - “HIRUX’

I guess the Hilux could potentially offend some people but I thought it was funny. Bit surprised they let it through TBH.

Anybody else seen any funny plates?

Good day,

A local shop quoted me $560+HST CAD to install my Eibach lowering springs. They come highly recommended.

Curious to know what others on here have seen.
