Is it huge downgrade to trade in my 2020 GT350 for a Stinger?

Not as cool as a Charger though :crackup:
Haha, true. But, not as cool as a challenger IMO. I heard rumor of a charger mid engine. I would love that if they redid the body as it looks like 3 different cars from front, rear and side angles.

Did more research and it is the Optima replacement with more punch.
Exactly. The Turbo pulls but the FWD has MASSIVE torque steer. Actually turned me off from getting one to replace my 2016 Optima. The Stinger gives you performance and RWD or AWD.

Obviously massively different than a GT350, but as many have noted it depends on what you want your car for.

Depends on the vibe youā€™re looking for. A fully loaded Stinger is around $54k. The can buy you a very nicely equipped Scat Pack. And it comes with a ā€œHEMIā€. Yeah, OK, Iā€™m in. :like:

You said a loaded K5, not Stinger.
Picky, picky, picky. OK, I fixed it. :facepalm: :cwl:

And OP already said he doesn't want a GT. The world of high performance sedans in the $50k range is small. Now you could go across the other pond but that gets costly, fast.

That's what I'm saying, you want a fast sedan for under $100k? The only answer is Charger :cwl:
total rubbish. If you're going to set the price tag that damn high then CT4V-blackwing or it's CT5V brother are in the mix and the Candian car doesn't have a prayer.

What are yall thoughts if I can get a fully loaded Stinger GT2 at 46k price tag?(54k msrp) Would that make a difference? Right now I am leaning towards keeping to GT350 tho

2016 gt350
I have both cars. First - the Stinger build quality and reliability have killed the Ford. The stinger just runs, and runs well. Its a pleasure to drive but not nearly lag free. Stinger mileage is also pretty poor so dont really expect much savings at spirited driving. The Kia dealer is great to deal with, in and out, no issues, warranty and recalls were handled well. Car has not needed anything except maint and a couple minor recalls for airbag etc. All of my Fords, 2016+ have had several extended dealer stays. To me this matters. My GT350 has spent 9+ months sitting at dealers, probably more. My 2018 F150 has spent 2+months and it has under 20k miles. I dont consider the Kia fast. its peppy, but its the AWD that makes it feel quick. I really do like both cars but I dont know what I would pick because they are just so dissimilar. If it was my only car - knowing what I know know with 40+k miles of combined ownership of both - the Kia wins. I cannot recommend the gt350 to anyone as their primary DD.

Serious thoughtā€¦
Buy a cheap sedan for your daily. No shame in driving a cheap sedan for your commute.
I drive an ā€˜07 Diesel Ram daily for work. Bought it new in ā€˜08 and it only has 97K miles. I may or may not keep it when I officially retire.
The GT350 was bought for a retirement/fun sports car and it has been great for that.
If for some reason I decided to take on a job and commuted, Iā€™d either buy a cheap sedan or drive the truck.
I think youā€™ll really miss your GT350 for the weekends and occasional run during the week to decompress.
