I drove Mustang GT's, SHO's, etc., and the high performance OEM tires that came on those cars all lasted 20-25k. Nothing much you can do. The tires I just bought are the updated "PLUS" version, which has a revised compound for even better snow traction. And yesterday we got 1/2 foot of snow, and...

Car is two years old, original Potenza RE97AS-02's down to 4/32 to 5/32 (snow performance has dwindled). So I got a set of BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S PLUS put on. Rated very highly during Tire Rack tests, will let you know how it goes ...

Yeah, tough getting good exhaust sounds from anything less than a V8 (an SRT-4 I had was a notable exception, it's "no muffler" factory exhaust sounded great). But as far as tuning goes, the whole piggyback/required plug change thing doesn't interest me. OBD II only tune would've been a...

Man, on the rare occasion when I had tuned a previous car, I found it worthwhile and cost effective because all you had to do is simply plug the $400 tuner into the OBD II Port, have a cup of coffee, and in 3 min you were done. Now you have to run a maze of piggyback wires/plugs, secure the...

Mine was 100% bone stock, ran 13.8 @ 98 mph. Definitely not as sharp looking as the Stinger, but I got it brand new for $28k ($7k off sticker).

What can we do to support/get the word out about this forum? Sadly, the other ".com" Stinger forum has too many members and mods that are juvenile morons. We should be getting double the traffic of that trash forum. What can we do?

A lower DA will only net you a few tenths and a couple of mph. The problem is you're only hitting 110 mph, about the same as a stock Stinger. People running mid 11's are running ~120 mph. It seems you're short ~100 hp. Maybe recheck/change out the tune?

That was February 2018, his channel shows he's now sporting a fuller beard. Kutcher look gone. lol

Your Density Altitude was 1,870 feet. Not bad, but not great. With those mods and with better air, mid 12's are possible.

Interesting point about height, so I checked some models: HEIGHT KIA Stinger GT: 55.1 in Maserati Ghibli: 57.5 in. Dodge Challenger R/T: 57.5 in Ford Mustang GT: 54.3 in Chevrolet Camaro SS: 53.1 in For me, I used to drive Mustangs because I liked the upright seating position as...

Yup, a bone stock LS1 Z28 was a solid high 13 second car. Car and Driver tested a '99 model ("Camaro vs. Mustang Again" Feb. 99) and the Z ran a 13.8@104 mph vs. the Stang's 14.2@98 mph.

Challenger GT has a 303 hp V6, a high 14 sec car and not a competitor for the Stinger GT. Even the 375 hp R/T isn't a match for the Stinger GT unless it's modded. Now the Scat Pack, SRT-8, etc. with the 485 hp engine, that's a different story ....

Stock for Stock/Mod for Mod, Camaro's weren't a challenge for my Stangs until the introduction of the LT1. Then things became interesting, and with the advent of the LS1 Ford played catch up until 2011 when the Coyote entered the game.

Yup, 2.73's were standard and 3.08's were optional. All of the new Fox body's I owned came with 2.73's. lol Great vid. My cars were making no where near the hp that it seems those Stangs were putting out. But my method for consistent traction was using autoX tires (soft compund/shaved), 3.55...

I've owned/raced 9 moderately modified V8 Mustangs, most of them Fox body's. Getting power to the ground in a modified RWD street car like the '88 which weighs 3,180 lbs is difficult at best (worse if it's been lightened). It can be accomplished, but at a cost since handling (suspension...

Not so much a factory freak than the Stinger GT begins making max torque at 1,300 rpm and that Camaro SS's and other high power RWD cars usually can't get the power down.

Also, your ET was actually pretty good seeing the DA for that track/time was ~2,000 ft.

Awesome response, that's the exact info I was looking for! Weird that the fastest time was No LC/Sport Mode. Wonder why KIA even bothered to include it?
