Colorado Stingers

[SkinnyKid]

It's starting to get nice out. (Well... not if you look outside right now) - I've been stock piling mods since December. Any planned meet ups or group mod installs? COVID wrecked all the gatherings. I'm fully vaccinated, looking to meet some Stinger locals, break out the Dragy, install some mods, or maybe just have a drink.

I might be able to help with some free time coming up on the weekends in the Aravda / Westminster area. Ive posted a few videos on YouTube of my runs at Bandimere speedway. Im Running the WMI/Jb4 breaksnip & AEm intakes set up.

Hello everyone,

I am getting ready to move from overseas to Fort Collins. I will be picking up a 2022 Ascot Green GT1 upon arrival. I am technically a senior citizen, and this car costs almost double the total of all of the previous vehicles I have bought in my lifetime. I cannot wait!

 

[SkinnyKid]

It’s a lot of fun. Welcome to the neighborhood! Enjoy Ft. Collins. Great little town... when college is out. Haha

So, just out of curiosity, is it necessary to buy winter tires living on the Front Range? ...or will my Stinger with AWD and all-season tires be good enough? I am not a skier and will not be traveling to the mountains during winter storms.

 

[SkinnyKid]

You’ll be fine with the all seasons. I’ve never put winter tires on any of my AWD cars, since I’ve lived here. Been out in CO for almost 21 years now. It’ll definitely be better, but I’ve never had issues with all seasons.

Who did I see on I-25 in Denver this morning, heading south? They got off on Arapahoe Rd. Red Stinger with a black "SPORT" sticker across the back bumper. Rebadged, black rims, sequential LED bumper reflector lights...

I honked and gave him the thumbs up. No acknowledgment.

I took possession of my 2022 green GT1 AWD today. I put about 100 miles on the car. I can already see traffic school in my future.

Planning on springs, intake, exhaust, and chip. Waiting for more information before deciding on a chip though. Obviously will do plugs when I do chip.

Did you end up doing all these mods?

Does anyone from the Northern Colorado region have a shop they recommend for installing lowering springs and sway bars?

Were you in Manitou the other day?

 

[dimwit]

Nope, wasn't me. So far, I have not seen any other green Stingers.

Hah, there's at least one more out there! It's a really good color

Where's my Denver team? I see Stingers every now and then around town, but no one ever flags me back. I hear the Springs has a fairly responsive group. Anyone around from the Springs? I'd like to get in on some drives and mod install stuff, if you guys ever meet up.

I am up by DIA off 104th-ish… I see a ceramic grey around these parts.

 

[SkinnyKid]

You're in my brother's neighborhood. He sees that same Stinger all the time. I believe that guy lives down the street from him. I'm in Aurora. I'll DM you my info.

There is a white Scorpion Stinger a few blocks from me in FC.
