Ive been a certified kia tech for 5 years and i will tell u these cars from the factory are underated in hp they are more like 390 to 400 and when we were getting certified on these cars , we spoke to several of the engineer's frok kia, these cars are so dimmed down from the factory , there is a lot of meat left on the bone from the factory, 100hp extra is only a tune and induction away

Although this is true, the long term reliability factor was more a priority with Hyundai's engineers who designed this advanced Lambda II engine than simply extracting the absolute maximum performance out of it. This is not a race car, it's a daily driver but performing GT. Mod it at your own risks and remember that it's a Hyundai Twin-Turbocharged V6, not an indestructible Chevy small block V8. That being said, I love my Kia Stinger GT Limited.

What is also nice is whatever you don't like about the handling you can easily fix with some aftermarket parts. Some heavier sway bars totally fix the rear end sliding around while turning and hitting bumps. There are like 10 aftermarket exhausts available now with a range of different sounds. You can get down pipes that add the pops/crackles. Aftermarket intake lets you hear the turbo's spool up and the diverter valves are nice and loud with these. Not to mention with a tune people are hitting 400+ WHP. 0-60 in 4 seconds is easily achievable.

This started out really strong. The owner knows his stuff, and was volunteering information, I was sure it was going to be a good one. Then he started trying to narrate it and review his own car, going off on tangents that Zack had to cut off. That was really uncomfortable to watch. I almost stopped it a couple of times. Owner ruined this OneTake.

Just drove this in the UK. What a car. Comfy, specced to a level I couldn't even dream of paying BMW or Audi for. The vented seats are amazing. What I really liked was the head-up display. Being in such a speed camera filled country I found it really useful not having to look down to speed check all the frick'n time. But all this cools stuff would mean nothing if the car didn't have the looks. But this does. It looks brilliant from front to the long way to the back. I thought I might want this car. Now, it's a no-brainer.

If you just want to make it faster and not louder I would recommend HKS Plugs and a Lap3 boost chip or JB4. Also some catch cans. That will run you about a grand for everything. It will also give you about 85 more HP if you run 93 octane and you can really feel the difference. www.k8stingerstore.com is where I get most of my stuff.

I own this same Stinger in 2019 exterior and interior GT2 AWD for two weeks as of weeks today. Let’s not get so nit picky about this car. If this car had four rings or BMW badge it would start in the 70’s and god forgive you leather seats. Track?! This isn’t tuned for a track. The Audi A5 isn’t tuned for a track either, not is a BMW 540i. This car is fast, period. Reviewers always talk about tracks, canyon carving, and fast cornering etc..blah,blah, blah. No owner needs to make excuses for owning one. This car gets looks from everyone when I drive it or park. It’s fun to drive on a daily basis.

Very few daily drivers are meant for the track.Eeven 100k plus AMG and M cars go into limp mode after several laps and anything more then 2 hours andyour tires and brake pads are shot--unless you just cruise around the track.There are track packages for less then 1000 dollars that give you some class and give you a few hours behind the wheel of a tuned down stock/race car.BTW tires alone will cost you 700 to 1000 dollars after you ruin them on the track.I would take my stinger only to something like a silver state classic--not a track.BTW KIAS brake rotors are not brembos and you could risk warping those.Better off to rent a car--because you will do hundreds to thousand dollars worth of wear and tear to your car at a track--even cars that are designed for it still chew up tires.
@khronin
@khronin 4 жыл бұрын
BTW many tire manufacturers give the tires to these track packages and even if not--they get them for wholesale--so because the track cars are built--they still make money because unless you wreck--all they are out on a real track car is a set of tires--which at wholesale--I believe when I did mine 10 years ago--Pirelli P Zeros were only costing the track 50 a piece--those tires were 300 dollars a piece in a store.You need a minimum of 10k put into a car to make it track worthy--coolers--tran and turbo--high end brakes and rotors--stripping all the weight.

I can absolutely tell you that the R is great, but the feeling between the two cars is completely different. The R in the lower rpm range just doesn't have much power, which is fun because the thrust you get when it reaches the right rpm is enjoyable... but day to day driving can make certain situations interesting. Stinger is far more linear feeling.

Yep. I got AWD GT and it's loaded. No sunroof or power gate. Leather, heated steering wheel, Apple carplay, great backup cam, base sound system is actually quite solid. LED headlights and tail lights etc.

Kia has a nice car in the Stinger, especially at this price point. However, what is missing is an engaging engine sound. I own a 2017 Chevrolet SS with manual 6-speed transmission, and that 6.2 liter LS3 V8 is just a joy to listen to. I am totally entertained just tooling around and listening to my engine. Don't get that at all with the Kia.

Cut, I don't own a Camaro. The Chevrolet SS is a four-door sedan - it is the Holden Commodore made in Australia and sold as an SS in the U.S. 2017 was the last model year made. However, the same LS3 engine has been used in the Camaro. Very strong engine, built to last and sounds wonderful.

1500 for a new exhaust, 600 for down pipes. The Stinger will sound like a Ferrari. Problem solved. I'll post some vids when I get my exhaust installed next week.

My last 2 cars were an Audi S5, BMW 435i GC, and my current car, the Stinger GT. The Stinger is like a perfectly melded version of both the S5 and 435i. It has a heavy, substantial feel like the Audi. It has a playfulness like the 435i. It has more body roll than either, but it isn't sloppy and its ride quality is superior to both. Interior quality doesn't compare, though the paint quality is the same as the Audi, but not as good as the BMW. For the price, the Stinger GT is a great bargain starting at $40K for all those hp and that torque. Unlike the GT1 and GT2 (I believe both), the GT doesn't come with the LSD, which is a bit troublesome hitting the throttle in a turn. Also, for the GT's price, it still comes with a good deal of amenities that I wouldn't expect, considering the power and suspension you're already getting for the money.

in my opinion no point in getting a stinger unless your getting AWD hyundai already makes 350 hp out of a n/a 3.8 liter in the genesis coupe and its lighter and a 2 door and plenty of aftermarket to fully build and twin turbo to make 4 figure hp
