Future SS owner with a Stinger GT

87and66 · 03-17-2021, 12:52 PM

Hello all. I currently have a 2019 Stinger GT that I love, but after some bad luck with it throughout my ownership, I’m looking into getting a Camaro SS in satin steel metallic to replace it. Heading to the dealership next week! May have to order one to get the spec I want, but we’ll see what happens.

Good luck and enjoy the new SS. The stinger is a nice car but you are gonna be in a whole new world when you feel the torque of these beasts.

Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Ordering is now "closed", so no more orders can be placed for 2021's and 2022's haven't opened yet. And, with the chip shortages, the 2022's may well be in short supply and take a while to get.

Curious what kind of issues with the Stinger? Also welcome!

I like the look of the Stinger, never driven one. Welcome & good luck with the search.

Oh hey, I'm back! A year later.... oops. Things didn't go as planned, but my quest for an SS didn't stop. The stinger is being sold on Wednesday and my 2SS is being delivered on Monday. Couldn't be more excited!

To answer your question @SSEssence, the main things were, I had a transmission leak that lead to a transmission replacement, and hit a deer causing $8000 worth of damage. There were some other smaller things also.

Thanks for the welcome, all.
