I have own a Stinger GT/RWD for one year now. The most fun I’ve ever had with a car! Wouldn’t trade it for nothing:)

In the past 7 years I have had MB, Audi, 2017 AR Guilia, and a 2018 300S with the HEMI. These were the EXACT two cars I was considering and I took the 2020 Stinger GT2 top of the line trim...I just picked the car up at the end of June in Ceramic Silver with $6700 off MSRP. This car is a true Grand Touring type car with a very refined driving experience...I fricking LOVE this car!!!

I have an R/T, ran against a stinger on the highway, it got a car length on me by the time we hit 100. They're pretty quick!

Got my stinger a couple of years ago. It's a great car and for the power it uses almost nothing in the way of fuel. Doesn't soothe your inner cave man like a v8. But it really gets badge snob type people's nose outta joint when they get smoked by a kia which kinda makes up for it.

That Kia is a nice looking performance car. I would definitely get one as a second car to go with my Challenger. The interior and technology looks much better than the Challenger Scat.

I got a 2018 Stinger GT1 AWD in July of 2018. Great car with all the bells and whistles. I had the Ceramic Silver with dark tint. Beautiful car and very fast. In sport 80% of the power goes to the back so it feels like RWD. It was nice to have the AWD in the winter here in Cincinnati. Long story short I traded it for a 2020 Challenger RT Scat Pack in January. Our winters haven’t been bad the last 4-5 years so I really wanted the Scat and almost got one back in 2018. I tried to the the responsible thing having a family but I couldn’t drive past one without wishing I had it. All good now and couldn’t be happier. The Stinger has a different kinda speed then the Scat. The Scat feels much more powerful where the Stinger feels quick if that makes sense...

Another great video comparison, my man! I had zero knowledge about the Kia prior to this vid but as a proud owner of a Challenger RT I must agree completely the grumble of that V8 puts a smile on my face every single day

Love all the videos. Especially the scat pack ones. Got my RT ordered and should be done in 8 weeks. Wanted the scat but finances are more important than fun. Cant wait for more content.

I have a 2019 Stinger GT1 RWD living here in snow free AZ. The RWD provides ample traction, no need for AWD. It's been a great car! Thanks for the comparison though a better comparison would have been to a Charger Scatpack.

I raced a Kia GT with the twin turbo in the quarter mile and the Kia almost had me lol. My Hellcat spins to much. But the Stinger GT is a great car. I still love the dodge better, the seats are more comfy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Fair review Stinger owner here as you can see in my profile pic. When I was searching for a new car it was between the charger scat and the Stinger Gt. I ultimately went with the Base Gt because of the AWD. I have invested in some bolt ons downpipes exhaust and intakes and am sitting at 400 Whp. Add my piggy back tune I’m at 500 to the wheels not crank. Keep this in mind guys running what I have are doing 11 1/4 times. Our Ecu hasn’t even been cracked yet 10’s with stock turbos are very possible. The car has a lot of potential hell once I’m in the 10’s I’m good fast enough for me for my daily

Got a 2018 Sorento and 2019 Forte...Kia has come a long ways and great safety ratings... I was staring at the Stinger the whole time while getting the Forte :)

my fiance and I each have a stinger (both are gt2 awd) and we both loved your comparison, the dodge is another car we want. thanks for the awesome video.

I have the Stinger GT2 and I love it. It’s an all-round player with its looks, performance as well as finesse that it offers for the price. It’s well equipped and fun to drive. Nothing against the Scat Pack. If the raw power is what you are after, that’s the car for you. Frankly, i just don’t find the interior of Mopar cars are up to par. Lots of cheap plastic everywhere with dull looks and definitely lacking fit and finish. That’s just my opinion. I am sure it’s a blast to drive nevertheless.

In Australia the Stinger whipped the last V8 Holden Commodore SS (Chevy SS) when they were released in 17. Some cops now have stingers as their highway cruisers. Great comparison. Love the mopar though.

Great review no bias noticed from a fellow Mopar tuber. Love your channel!!

Preciate the upload , gave me something to watch while I eat dinner

Kia has come a long way in the past few years, great reviews, as you know we had a 18 rt 5.7 with a stick fun to drive, then we drove and bought our 6.4 Shaker car with automatic stick is more fun adds a more control feeling with hard gears but you give up auto start, adaptive cruise which is a wonderful safety feature....Octane red scat looks rich in this color, Dodge puts down a great paint job these days.....Thanks Steve

Sure as hell looks better than a challenger - that's for damn sure.

Very interesting! When I got my Scatpack it was between the Scatpack and the Stinger. Interesting you did a comparison.

Thank you for the video 🙂. If we are talking only on hp and torque, the base GT Kia Stinger can be bought for $30k with the same 365 hp and 376lbs of torque as the GT2. The GT2 only comes with more technology. IMO they should not be compared in price vs performance. The Stinger comes with way more technology than the other for the same price.

Got a 2018 stinger at 650 hp and soon putting in nos

Tuning a turbo car is easy and inexpensive when compared to a NA platform. Simething to keep in mind when most people watching this channel are probably modding their vehicles. Also a stinger will never sound as good as a hemi! Interesting vid.

Love watching the motivation man.

This is crazy that this video popped up on my KZfaq feed today because I am literally trying to decide between these exact two vehicles. I’m just waiting on some final lease numbers from my Dodge dealer. The lease ended on my Charger R/T just over a week ago and the plan was to get into a Challenger Scat Pack. But while I was waiting for the dealer to find me one, I came across the Stinger. Everything you said was spot on about both cars and I drove them both yesterday. Still can’t decide.....

I've had my Stinger for just over a year now. Easily the best and overall most fun car I've owned. I live in Australia and this is the first car that I could comfortably drive from Sydney to the Gold Coast (about 850KM) in one day and not be tired at the end of the drive. It's a near-perfect family/daily driver

I would have been really tempted to go scat pack but since I live in Chicago area the AWD of the Stinger GT2 is great for the winter. I’m really enjoying the car.

I like it when you say am gonna drive that scatpack down the road and tell you how it feels.. as if you don't know 😂. I like how honest and impartial are you man. I love the challenger and will go with it any day but fully agree with how you summed it up on the Kia. The most honest and respectful youtuber out there. Keep it up Racer X.

Great Video! Have wondered about the Stinger for a while now! Had no idea its price and weight were so close to the Scat Pack!! With a few mods that Stinger could upset a lot of Scats also...AWD just goes....

I looked at both and bought the Stinger.

what a great and true blue review. Never change your style...

That was a cool video, very interesting I love learning about all the different cars and how much horsepower they have and what they can do, always enjoy the videos, you and your family have a great Fourth of July!🇺🇸

I had (what I will now call) the privilege for a week of renting a “2021 Kia Stinger-GT 4WD Red Interior” on Turo last Friday and wow! I was beyond impressed with this thing. I fell in love with this instantaneously! So much so, that I’m actually contemplating on seriously making this beauty my next purchase. Plus, since it’s a Kia, even it being one of their top of the line vehicles it still doesn’t really break the bank when it comes to the price. And after driving that car for a week I have to say I wouldn’t blame them if they raised the price another 10-15k because of the super car feel and performance it gives you when driving it! Not to mentioned all the super hi-tech accessories, from the wireless phone charger, to the full color wheel for your choice ambient lighting, snd the safety monitors that make you so much more of a confident driver when you’re on the road! I rented a 2020 Kia sedan (think it was a forte) on Turo last month which was okay, It kind of reminds me of their Honda civic while the Kia Optima would be the Accord, which reminded me of another great feature the Stinger had along with the Forte and that was ApplePlay. I only ever seen the ApplePlay feature in Kia’s so idk if they have some type of deal or patent with Apple but wow is that feature sure as hell convenient! BTW I DO NOT WORK FOR KIA! I JUST LOVED MY EXPERIENCE IN THE 2021 STINGER GT! In sports mode I felt like I was driving a 200k+ supercar! And I dusted my friend who raced me in his 2019 Camero! BTW - Unfortunately the 2021 Kia I had rented have the normal Kia emblem on the hood. I then learned the some older models had a dope circle emblem and now all Kia’s from 2022+ have a sick new logo which goes so much better with a stinger than the normal boring old Kia logo you’d see on any of their cars

I've been seriously considering both of these cars, the stinger gt2 is a 3.3L twin turbo awd which will blow away almost any car short of a Mopar on the road. I have a friend who has a 2020 gt2, so far he's done a catback exhaust, new fuel injectiors, air intakes and a new tune pushing about 20 psi of boost he dyno'd 446 HP which for that car is absolutely 💯

Awesome been wanting to see this comparison

I was on the I5 in my Porsche Pan 4S ...KIA was tailgating me and without going into sport mode I tried to get rid of it and couldnt. I told everyone it was the high insurance I was tired of paying, but it was the fact a KIA kept up with me going 120 MPH in a damn Porsche. No sir...it didnt beat me, but i didnt beat it either.

The 392 Hemi is a very well optimized engine for the challenger it runs reaaally well for it's size I still want one with a 6 speed manual. Great video! :)

Scat will win the 1/4 but the 8th the stinger might get it by a bumper 😂. Cause once that boat take off it’s gone. 😂

I have a 2019 GT2 AWD and love it. No other car checks so many boxes at once for a Dad who loves a good sporty car. It's not the ultimate end-all sports sedan but in terms of offering practicality with beauty, comfort with handling, power with efficiency, high-end luxury with affordability, it's basically unmatched in the entire car industry. Not kidding, find me another better car at it's price point that checks the same boxes.

I passed over a scatpack for my stinger....never looked back....they are GREAT cars

Whenever I break into the engine of my RT to give it some chop the Stinger is what id like for a daily

Could not be more different but two of my favorite cars!!

Challenger on the road wins easy. However if its a daily driver then the interior and reliability favor the Stinger. 100,000 mile warranties are insane

Scatpack is the faster car no doubt, but I’d still go with a Stinger just because of how classy and sporty it looks. Plus the Challenger is pretty overrated and is turning into what the mustang is in that everyone has one.

Good video bruh! Love the channel and content. You said it was in the running? What made you go with the STI over this? Asking for a friend 😂

Was waiting for a drag race, thats the real reason i come here😢

I have a 2019 Mustang 5.0 and I just drove a 2020 Kia stinger with the TwinTurbo. The mustang is definitely faster on paper but 0-60 in real life the Kia stinger felt like a space ship I guess because of the awd but it’s extremely quick. They are two very different vehicles though.

My wife and I were literally just looking at both the Stinger GT and the Charger scat pack last week. Ended up getting a new 2021 Stinger GT RWD for 35k (MSRP was 43.7k) and we couldn't be happier. It is a great everyday driver and personally I feel the hp is likely underrated!

The stinger might just be my next car...but Great video as always✨

Quick question off topic what size converter does the scat pack have vs the rt and like kias that would have to be black if i purchase it

Why do you think the stinger will beat a Charger R/T? What mods could I add to beat the stinger?

I was driving a few weeks ago and a car was on my tail, and I didn't recognize the headlights, sure enough, it was a Stinger keeping up with me, I drive several cars but this day it was a Dodge, surely and slowly I am seeing more of them. I think my wife would like it, the warranty intrigues me.

So far got a Scat as a daily to get me through school but as a daily with a family Kia Stinger is hard to beat if you want to go the luxury sedan option!

Back when I got my Charger RT, I also test drove the Kia Stinger GT. I was quite impressed by the Stinger GT. If you step on it from a dig, it pulls pretty hard. I'd say it was harder than my car when it was stock. Definitely pulls very hard when you put your foot in it. Though I would say, when driving it normally, it didn't have that throttle response which the Hemi has, even the 5.7. That is one of the things that makes me enjoy the RT a little more. But none the less, they're still great cars. I'm glad Kia has decided to come up with something cool.

Coming from a guy raised in a muscle car family, I'm a Stinger GT2 fan all the way. I bought a used one last year.

Quick question ....do u have mufflers on your hellcat???....cause I took the mid mufflers out and put the catless mid pipes in and left the resonators. And it's LOUD...lol! Just wondering...thanks for the vids good stuff! 👍🚨💯

What’s great about the Stinger is that you can get a GT (second trim up) for 32k our the door like I did and get the same you would for a GT2 AWD! There’s no difference in driving between the both. I’m a proud owner of a 2020 Stinger after test driving a Charger RT, Audi S4, and a Honda Accord Sport, and the Stinger took the cake no problem. I absolutely love it. That 0-60 pull it has is phenomenal!

i just got a 18' gt2, was wondering how well itd do

The Kia Stinger GT is the car BMW used to build. Fun and engaging. Now BMW feels like you’re in a video game....this comes from a longtime BMW driver. I drove Scat Pack Challenger/Charger, Stinger, Camaro, before picking a 19 Mustang GT last year. All great. IF the Stinger made the fun noises the Detroit cars make, there might be one in my driveway. Great video!!!

That V-8 rumble SOLD me; the stinger would make a nice daily though .

Why wouldn’t you put it up against a charger instead?

Hey, RacerX-I was at Huffines Dodge Plano a few days ago talking to Drew about ordering a 2021 Challenger SRT Super Stock and he told me about your channel and showed me some pics of your awesome souped-up Charger Hellcat. It's funny, because I own both a 2016 Challenger Hellcat (Purple) and a 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD (Blue). Love both cars, but it's time for a 100hp upgrade on the Hellcat! Hope to see you around, I live in the North Carrollton area. Cheers.

I just picked up an awd Stinger GT yesterday. Originally had a Dodge Charger on my list but they stopped making the awd V8 back in 2014. Was looking for something I could drive all year round as I live in MN and also have a Ford ⚡ so I didn't need another rwd vehicle. Glad I went with the Stinger. New out the door was 36k. Wish I coulda found one in ceramic silver by me but it's all good. Doesn't have that awesome sounding motor like Dodge but if I wanna hear some V8 muscle plus some whine I'll pull out the ⚡

That stinger is a great looking car and great warranty as well. Or get a tune and then that stinger will be flying

Love that you said that you're in North Texas. Just watched your video on 60 to 130 with the RT, Scat Pack, and threw in your Hellcat. Must have cost a fortune to get all those cars to "Mexico " ! Lol 😆

Yo my man you should come over to Houston to review the 2020 challenger sxt because next year I will be purchasing one for my self

Was really hoping to see the race...

I think a comparison between the charger four-door RT scat pack in the Kia stinger GT would be a much more appropriate comparison as both have four doors at least.

I would take the Stinger every day! The fit and details are much better and yes it’s a blast to drive!

Nice video, yeah you’re right there’s something about a rumble of a true musclecar there quick little cars those stingers and the Subaru but I’ll keep my charger

Great video !

Haha wow I live in Tyler TX and I actually inquired about that exact scat pack at clays,could you tell a difference between the scat pack with the dynamics package and mr.s x’s?

I have a TrackHawk and love it. But my wife was wanting a new smaller sedan to replace the Avenger R/T. We go the Stinger GT1. We both love it.

Ordered my 2020 challenger scatpack shaker manual with dynamics package in Frostbite. They are saying 6 weeks.

I was comparing a Charger Scat Pack against the Stinger GT1. Such a tough tough tough choice to make. I desperately want that V8 grumble, but given I wanted a high performing daily driver that I will likely not spend much on modification wise as my Daily I went with the additional utility of the liftback. At some point I feel like I need both vehicles in the stable! Love the video!

Love the content! Please review a Chrysler 300S with the 5.7 Hemi against a Challenger/Charger R/T with a 5.7 to see the difference between the triplets. I think the Chrysler is focused more on luxury but it still has that Hemi grunt.

The 2022 refresh of the Kia stinger looks awesome

Used to work at kia in Fort Worth. And one time there was a Kia stinger I had to work on and when I got finished with it I had taken it to the customer and the customer was a cop, and he said did you get on that pedal I was like kinda hard not to, he said hell yeah.

Always some interesting videos keep up the great work I don’t know whether to go stinger or scat I love them both

I've modded out my R/T. Exhaust cats hollowed out and high flow exhaust, resognators delete, K &N Cai, Catch can, Bkk pro series throttle body, throttle body spacer, higher flow fuel injectors, along with high flow fuel rails, a 93 tune. I raced one of the highest trim and had 2 car lengths on it at 139 mph. He never led me and hung most of the time till he spooled out. I imagine with bigger turbos it would of beaten me. But my mods made a world of difference. Go Mopar!!

The stinger gt and g70 (3.3l tt) once somebody start making aftermarket turbo kits for them will easily brake 750hp at the wheels. They come with forged internals from the factory surprisingly.

I crossed shopped the Charger scatpack with the stinger GT1 and got the Stinger. My sister in law has a 2018 charger scatpack and I drove it often', love the sound but it is too bulky for me. I love the fact that I don't see a Stinger at every street corner.

which one is easier to mod?

Do you know how prevalent the rust on qtr panels in front of the rear wheels on challengers is? Love your channel and plan on owning a scat challenger in the future.

Have you ever did a review on the Cadillac V sport?

Man KIA sure has come a long way , my buddies wife has a KIA and it’s a great car on the HWY and for the city . However it’s still not my choice but what cool comparison . Cheers

Dammit the other racer X lol beat me too it😂 At least you are a texan

I think comparing it to an RT would of been better. The stats are much closer in regard to weight and hp.

Stinger is my new dream car what do I add to it so I can beat challengers and chargers and camaros

4 door sedan vs a 2 door. My opinion, I would have loved to have seen a comparison with the charger instead. I’m stuck between the charger and stinger. Solid review though. Subscribed.

A house in my neighborhood has a nice gray colored Stinger parked in their drive... def looks clean and fairly mean looking from every angle.

One thing that always blew me away about the Stinger, N/S engine placement, it's something you definitely wouldn't expect from Kia, or an import company, the 3.3ltr is probably one of the best engines Hyundai/Kia has ever put out. I really wish the Stinger came in manual, but that's just never gonna happen, which for me, the Challenger will always be a winner in my book....

Had a 2018 Optima was going to upgrade to Stinger. Ended up moving over to the Charger then Challenger Scat. Glad I made that choice

I have a Ram Sport, Journey, Scat Pack Challenger and my Daily is a Kia Sportage AWD 2012 same year as our Journey. Journey AWD is far more comfortable and the VVT v6 runs great. The Kia is a 2.4 four cylinder and snow Ice of Iowa weather just doesn't bother it. The Kia actually books higher used than our Journey of the same year. I personally like the Kia so it's my daily nearly 30mpg and AWD great review I wondered about the Stinger.

Not seen any Stingers in the UK yet, have to look out for one. But just for retro looks and tuning goodies and as you say that V8 rumble Challenger for me.

Have you compared the scat to an ss sedan?

I like the look of the Challenger, but why are people telling me the dodge should come with a bus pass or Lyft app?

The Stingers are better compared to a Charger. I had just gotten my hands on my first V8 Charger after having two V6's. A 2009 R/T & love it, then 2 days later, I traded my daily, a 2020 Forte GT-Line, for a "brand new" 2018 Stinger GT2.

This Kia amazes me.

Two of my cars, i had 1975 one Challenger 71 with 440" and it was my second car, the first was a Dodge Dart -65! Have Kia Sportage now and it maby will be a Stinger as next car!
