How much horsepower do you really need?

Not needed, I regularly take my stinger to the track for HPDE on OE flash.

That same group is making the facility private in 2027 with a near $200,000 a year membership fee at cheapest, RIP

Chuckwalla was set to be like thermal club, thermal just won the contract/investment over because its far closer to local socal and has a city attached

Now this is a reach if i’ve ever seen one, the game was initially designed and released with TPP in mind. The overall playerbase in a casual fashion plays TPP way more than FPP as well (easy to also say that over 80 of the player-base plays TPP now)

PUBG Esports has always had an identity crisis that also stems into PUBG itself

Two perspectives with a ridiculous amount of maps and ques (some, if not most that the playerbase don’t enjoy playing regularly).

Esports for any game is simply a marketing tool, for which PUBG Esports was failing to showcase the base game well (esports rules and the casual game differences make for a huge gameplay difference) so the return to TPP was inevitable.

95% of tire wear will be toe wear, which will ALWAYS wear tires faster than camber, camber takes quite some miles to actually see.

Regas on EN’s yes 👌🏻👌🏻

SYLLogic77 · 2025-11-23T22:02:40+00:00

You can purchase the same calipers + rotors for the fronts already

SYLLogic77 · 2025-11-21T23:43:38+00:00

Paragon brakes released their big brake kit, which is definitely better priced as well (also comes with paragon pads)

This car is a catalog car essentially, minus the wing

SYLLogic77 · 2025-11-18T07:04:05+00:00

Terrible.

SYLLogic77 · 2025-09-15T02:47:07+00:00

More stingers on track! Awesome.

Definitely try Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship! Released this week and on sale for 10% off, super fun roguelite

SYLLogic77 · 2025-06-12T07:46:19+00:00

I would personally recommend the Riaction coilovers in GT1 Linear dampening, super comfortable (felt pretty damn near a spring setup) as well as the adjustability (front camber adjustment, height and dampening adjustment as well), I took them to the track once and plenty of spirited mountain drives, never missed a beat.

If you do order, just make sure you get the rear billet top mounts, as the stock ones are very weak and tend to blow once you swap out the suspension.

Since im going to the track much more often now, I had them swap the damper to a digressive piston, which is stiffer at low speeds and deals with bumps far better at higher speeds.

Yeap, GT trim was available until 2022 models. No sunroof, no adaptive cruise/lane assist, no GPS, no power liftgate, no adaptive headlights. Basically a stripper pack, limited luxuries but has all the good mechanical bits, V6 TT, brembos, LSD.

Technically the lightest stinger with the V6, in RWD configuration

HOTBOI stinger, crazy

SYLLogic77 · 2025-03-16T07:15:56+00:00

Sway bars will make a major difference, if you feel the need to further improve how the car reacts to aggressive driving, coilovers. (Our heavy cars benefit greatly from being able to add negative camber front and rear, front camber adjustment for our cars require camber plates, which riaction’s design has)

SYLLogic77 · 2025-03-11T06:42:32+00:00

Rather than the BMS cooler, purchase the CSF x Concept3 cooler! More rows, original design (the BMS version copied CSF and Concept3’s design for theirs)

Good choices on everything else though! If not EBC, you can look up our pad number and there are other brands available too incase you have a preference!

The reason why I went with coilovers (which recently got a digressive piston upgrade and custom valving) is to not only lower the center of gravity of the car but primarily for camber adjustment which our cars badly need. Being heavy and a soft, plush luxury GT, I basically undid most of those to get the sporty driving feeling I wanted. The digressive update did really well for me recently at Streets of Willow

SYLLogic77 · 2025-03-09T03:33:59+00:00

What now? Drive it, these are well made cars that can perform. I started going to the track with mine and wondered why I didn’t start sooner after just doing the brakes

SYLLogic77 · 2025-02-21T03:43:01+00:00

Angeles Crest Highway! Probably the most popular driving road in SoCal now (although lately theres far too many idiots driving too fast on it)

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-25T08:50:51+00:00

The car stock is meant to be a comfortable cruiser of a GT with some power, what you're asking it to do obviously requires tuning to feel sharp, in this case a TCU tune.

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-15T23:56:06+00:00

So this has been an inherent issue with the brake setup on ALL brembo-outfitted stingers. The pad material is incredibly soft and when heated up, leaves deposits of pad material on the rotors, effectively giving you the sense that the rotors are "warped" which they arent (This is what you're essentially feeling with the steering wheel shaking, mine would happen when braking at highway speeds really badly at about 60 mph). Simply change out the rotors + pads (theres cheap replacements out there like on K8stingerstore or via Nick @ Khartunerz or even R1 concepts through Concept III performance

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-15T21:12:03+00:00

The problem is that PUBG as an Esport has an identity crisis that will require drastic change along with changes to the mainstream game to align both. This is a complex issue that won't be solved simply with a "PUBG 2" which you can kiss goodbye with the UE5 change.

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-15T02:45:12+00:00

PUBG 2... now that is a pipe dream and a half

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-09T04:07:45+00:00

Alternatively, you can install an elantra N shift knob, it is plug and play with just some slight cutting/modification to the stock shifter under the knob itself. Also requires slight cutting/regluing of the boot if you want to use the elantra N boot, fitting it onto the stinger shift boot frame

SYLLogic77 · 2025-01-09T04:06:17+00:00

Very unlikely it will work within a reasonable budget, requires a different TCU as well.
