That's incredible. Why would the put a cell phone and keyboard in an engine?

It's an interesting problem. At higher altitudes, air and oxygen is thinner, so fuel unboosted systems with FI and carburetors run rich. The solution to that is to reduce the octane which reduces emissions. But with turbocharged and supercharged engines, that is not necessary because these...

I know black wheels is a fad, but I don't really care for them. They look -- well -- dirty. One way to tell when a car is really clean is when the wheels are clean. Most people run cars through a car wash and the wheels never really get any attention. So to my eye, black wheels look a bit...

Thanks. There was a misinformed reviewer who apparently had the 18" wheels on the AWD he was testing and thought it applied to the 19" tires as well.

I think letting the transmission figure out its own upshift times is probably better than you can do on your own. I think all 0-60 times are logged that way. The other way, downshifting, just using the paddles doesn't require you to switch to manual mode -- such as preparing to descend a long...

Bummer. Probably the smaller front tire sizes then. Thanks for checking.

I can't find the answer in the manual which is "generic" for all models. One reviewer stated that with the AWD package on the GT models, all 4 tires are the same size. I know this is true for the all-weather tire option on 18" wheels, but what about the AWD with standard tires? Obviously the...

I would be curious how owners feel about that. On the GT1 without the wire shifting, you have a simple gate into manual mode like on my G8 GT. Pull the shifter into manual and ... you're in manual. If this IS true with the GT2, my GT1 is looking better all the time.

The Stinger manual says ILSAC GF-4 or above. Synthetic oils like Mobil1 are all GF-5. That's what I use in my 191,000 mile G8 GT and that's what I'll use in the Stinger.

It's not the oil at 600 miles, it's removal of wear particles, especially those fine particles that aren't trapped in the filter. The oil and additives are good for much longer. I guess I missed the 600 mile oil change in the manual. I go check that again.
