The Stinger never appealed to me. It looks like part sedan, part hatch back; the lines look like two different cars were welded together. Gross.

It’s no worse than the guys running 13s and mid 12s in hellcats while trying to figure out which is faster, auto or manual?
Hero run vs a bad run

To me the really sad part is they probably didn’t even consider using a Camaro

just to be clear... you want them to DOWNGRADE the KIA to be more competitive with the MUSTANG

Dont laugh to hard, the gap it beats the mustang it would take the camaro as well, we all know the camaro and mustang would beat the stinger with a competent driver in both cars.

being a true chevy guy, I am glad they didn't bring out a SS Camaro 8 speed auto because the 10 speed auto 2018 mustang really is quicker than a 8 speed auto SS in the 1/4 mile. The stang can and does easy low 12's to 12.0, the 8 speed auto Camaro rarely ever does 12.0 on bone stock form.

that may not true on a unprepped surface or doing it on the street. Hard to beat AWD and instant torque on the street. On a prepped surface and maybe a warmer day so the turbo car isn't making horses, the stang or the Camaro will kill the Kia.

FI cars are less effected by positive density altitude than naturally aspirated cars......
