Not sure what to tell you, mine hit 12.7 at 112 pretty much stock. I’ve beaten stock E92's, though C63 no luck. FBO they are scraping high 11's. Not the fastest thing nor have the best aftermarket by any means, but it’s not the only “sleeper” sedan out there and is fairly cheap to own/buy.

My 10 year old ISF has blown the doors off 3 of them now. They are nice cars if a bit bland on the outside, but they really aren’t anything too special in the used market. The aftermarket is very healthy for them, but I’ve only seen 3 modded out of about 40 by now. 

To be fair, I’ve had a 7 manual cars and my 12 WRX was the only one I constantly missed shifts in. Absolute garbage POS, any shift bushing or shot shifter would help it immediately, but even then it’s just two rungs above garbage. 

Probably irrelevant, but typing this on a 17" Macbook Pro from 2009, please make another 17" Apple! Doesn’t even have to be 4k! 

Thanks and nice ride! I gave you a “follow” on IG.

I put about 25k on my DWS06 last year and the front had 5k left and the rear about 15k, more if I were able to cross mount them, sadly they have an “outside only” part and the fronts wear more, especially since i”m lowered.

RCF/ISF, C6Z/C6GS, SS, AMGC63 coupe. have an ISF and love it. 43k flawless miles in less than two years.

Just stop.

I had a manual G37 and really loved it both stocked and modded, and am now in an ISF. Both are great at everything, but not amazing in any category. The Q50RS is quite honestly the closest competitor to the Stinger both on paper and in the dealer lots. The Charger Scat Pack is a close second.

I have an ISF but have actually considered the Stinger. Mainly the much more updated interior, larger backseat, and the tuning aftermarket(if it develops). However, the 10 year newer tech has it at the same performance in a straight line, albeit year round. Doesn’t give me much incentive to switch just yet.

Have you visited Miata.net?

I stopped reading and caring once they were offered zero dollars for it and still gave it up.

Then you do you, why question other people for doing them? Some like an all in one vehicle. I could have a dedicated sports coupe and a comfy beater to commute to work, instead I daily a 440hp sedan and still avg 21 mpg. Not great, but still better than most any medium truck/SUV(certainly better than the CTSV/AMG I

The sedans and coupes I’m used to have sidewalls at 40 or less, SUV’s easily have more. Cost for an SUV all season to a summer tire for a sports car is cheaper. My ISF, g37 coupe and sedan, C5, miata, cl-s, all had way worse visibility than most any newer SUV from today, many of which come packed with back up cams,

Funny enough I have an ISF, and while it has stock 19" and my last aftermarket set was 19" my current summer set are 18". I was able to go lighter, but wider, as well as add some sidewall for both a “meaty” look and added ride comfort. Cheaper tires/wheels are the cherry on top. A few guys I know are doing the same

I appreciate your input. Thanks for the correction. Not really a Ford fan :)

You win. The Escape sucks and is tiny. So what would you say to the Edge, or even the Exporer compared to the Taurus? Both are bigger now, with no real cost as far as MPG. Why wouldn’t someone consider one when a 2018 Taurus is still 18/27? Get a Fusion?

I’d rather rank them on how often their thicker sidewall tires pop on shit roads, or rank them on how easy they are to park and drive with a higher seating position. Or perhaps rank them based on the utility they offer such as towing, bad weather condition beater, or simply looking better than most of their sedan
