Have we talked about the Stinger GT2?

https://stingerforum.org/threads/additional-awd-system-lsd-and-drive-mode-information.96/

Im loving the info of this thing! Awd or rwd, an actual mechanical LSD, electronic mechanical power steering. A turbo four or a v6, four doors. The looks aren’t so great, but what is at this price range? 

Its like KIA was actually listening to enthusiasts. 

I've been impressed with things I read about this car.  Silly name though.

I've driven the Stinger in GT2 trim, and while it includes some great features, the 'GT2' package adds a ton of money to the sticker price -- $49K vs $38K for the Stinger GT twin-turbo V6 and $32K for the turbo I4.  I look forward to seeing what off-lease Stingers are going for in two years time--I bet they'll be quite the value.

I haven't driven one but I sat in a demo at the local mall. It was a Korean spec GT2 and it was a lovely place to sit. The interior has lots of nice little touches like machined speaker covers. I really liked it. Based on what internet reviews are saying if it were in my budget I would consider one for my next car.

No sillier (is that a word?) than “Mustang Cobra” or “mp4-12c”, or “the Judge”. 

I think the only acronym that’s ever been deserving on a fast car has been the GLH. “Goes like hell” is an awesome description!

I'm surprised Dodge hasn't revived that one. Dodge Dart GLH? Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat GLH? Dodge Viper GLH?

In reply to NickD :

They would probably have to pay the Shelby estate.

I drove both the RWD and AWD versions at SEMA this year.  They had a little course set up where you did a 0-60 run and then took it through a mini-autox course.  After chatting with the instructor before getting in the car, he felt comfortable enough to let me really let loose with the car...or as much as reasonably possible in a small a sub 30 second autox course.  I really liked the car, especially the RWD version (the AWD pushed too much).  Very impressive, wish I could afford it.
