It’s time for a Korea vs Germany drag race!
Mat’s lining up in the Kia Stinger GT against the Volkswagen Arteon R Shooting Brake. Think this is a bit of a pointless race? Well once you see the stats you’ll realise there’s a method behind our madness!
Starting with the Kia Stinger GT, it’s housing a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet which can produce 366hp & 510Nm of torque. It’s RWD, and it weighs in at 1,855kg.
As for the Arteon, well the engine size is much smaller! It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine which can produce 320hp & 420Nm. However, it has two big advantages over the Kia - it’s lighter (at 1800kg) and it’s equipped with AWD!
So how do you think it’ll play out - will AWD power snatch it for the Arteon? Or will the more powerful Kia win it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Say the (enter vehicle) had a best 1/4 mile of (enter time) over X runs....something like that. Other thing, when you do the rolling race and the vehicle is put in manual mode. Just put the car back into D once you go 100% throttle and let it shift itself. Some comparison's, like this, it doesn't matter but others do. I know some of you....Matt....have had issues shifting at the right time while in manual mode.

I think the prob with the vr6 is its under powered NA and uses more fuel than its v6 competitors. With that said i still love the motor. I never flocked to the best MPG when shopping for a car. The VR6 never made class leading hp in stock form either And now with ICE being killed off id be surprised if they boosted it because its all about best mpg number to corporate. Maybe to replace a v8? Never understood why audi didnt boost it and throw it in the s4? The motor has big potential. But thats why i think its not offered. Just my opinion i could be wrong

Do reverse racing instead of the brake test :) Do horn sound check Do sound insulation test “ not applicable with Matt in the car, he won’t stop talking”😂 Do a test to see how rough the ride is. I’m a big fan though and I hope you like some of my ideas

I think you should test the kick down of the cars it the sportiest mode. If you do it in comfort mode, you're just testing how the manufacturer tuned it, if you do it in sport mode, you can see what's the best that car can do.
