Have you had issues with your rear end?

I voted yes for RWD. In my daily commute There is a particular spot on the interstate that if I hit it at speed (in a straight line) the back end feels like it is bouncing around and shifting left to right.

I real feel like something is amiss with the rear end of these cars. I experience a similar situation if you accelerate hard going straight and go over a slight bump or imperfection in the road. I get a load thump sound.

AWD shares this trait as well. My AMG's, M's, and S-lines did this. They all had this "hop", grew used to it, never notice it anymore unless I'm paying attention to it.

Like other owners and reviewers have noted, when taking a curve at speed and hitting an imperfection in the road - even fairly small, I've experienced that the back end can get momentarily "jumpy", like the computer(s) can't decide whether to stabilize laterally or vertically. It's not severe, but it's out-of-character relative to the generally fine handling of the car.

Anyone else notice that the 'jumpy-ness' of the rear end is more severe with left hand turns vs right?

Uneven weight distribution. Enlist a passenger of similar proportions to yourself.

Okay. I have solved the mystery. The Stinger, any Stinger, is so pumped, that the front and the back half are vying to see which can get "there" first. So what all you all are sensing is the ass trying to get the jump on the front. This is especially true of RWD, because the rear wheels feel that the fronts are just "coasting" along for the ride.

Really, I have no problem with my rear-end in my Stinger. Mostly it's my left hip. Damn sciatica.

It’s my right foot at the moment, I think I got snapped today by camera.
