Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 1/4 Mile Times

[Angel]

It's feeling like its about time to repost the 1/4 mile times!
Hoping Blitz can knock out that 12.2 time off our list this weekend.
My 3 inch cold pipe comes friday
Hmmmmm

Nice...You will love that 3 inch pipe........

What's crazy to me is that Tonkabob's 0-60 mph time is only slightly slower and his 1/4 mile ET is just on par with a 640hp 2016 Cadillac CTS-V beast. Now that's impressive. Now let's beat it. I would love to see your modified stinger beat a stock CTS-V in a 1/4 mile race and watch that driver stare in disbelief. That would be hilarious!

Even better, Car and Driver only ran a 11.8 in the 797 hp HellCat Red Eye. Yeah thats a bad time and probably not on a prepped track but on the street we have a chance. Not that i would street race

The chance of you beating it on the street and as likely as trump admitting that he he cheated on his wife and that Obama innaguration was bigger than his lol ... I like the attitude but I have a better chance of reaching the moon one day, thank a stinger beating a hell cat red eye .... unless it was like and extremely modified stinger lol

I think the implication here is that the Hell Cat will likely have a harder time hooking and launching on the street than our cars thus giving us the most likely opportunity of running with one. Whereas on a prepped track with proper tires we would have 0 chance of keeping up.

I think the implication here is... you might have a chance, on the street, in a 1/4 mile .

... from a stop. It's a shame those Hellcats can't hook up better!

No really they are not. Its who gets across the finish line first which is measured in Time not MPH

I see & agree with both sides of the debate. But with all due respect, please understand you’re doing a disservice to this thread by discredited certain results.

I agree it’s a 1/4m thread, but you are also providing other measurements that test different aspects of acceleration & power. The 60ft, 1/8m, and trap speeds provided all determine separate advantages each car has while accelerating.

Lowest ET wins the race, but the 60ft and trap speed determines how they won. This is exactly why those numbers are just as important as the ET results, and why they’re provided at every 1/4m track as well.

If both cars had equal 12.00 ETs than the one with lower 60ft got better traction, but the one with higher trap speed is the faster car. Just because someone crosses the line first doesn’t mean they are faster. It just means they won that race.

Don’t get me wrong, I love going to the track and 1/4m times are a simple way to compare different cars & determine power gains. Just keep in mind that ALL the results are important and show different measurements of performance.

If you’re lucky enough to have a track nearby then the quickest car dispute can be settled there. However most of those opportunities arise and are really settled on the streets.

With that said your 1.8 60ft & 3.8sec 0-60s with AWD will smoke all of us front a stoplight. However it is extremely rare to find a competitor side by side at at red light. In my 20yrs+ driving I know 9/10 opportunities to street race are definitely while driving or on the roll. Unfortunately, in those situations the AWD advantage quickly turns into a disadvantage. This is documented by trap times on 1/8 & 1/4m runs, and another reason why it’s useful providing those stats on this thread.

Everyone wants to play to their own advantages so it’s understandable why competitors disregard certain measurements. However the more information provided, the better for everyone to learn. So even though it’s a 1/4m thread and the ET may be the most important result to some, ALL the results truly matter and none of them should be disregarded.

Knowledge is power and please keep giving our fellow Stinger brothers all the power they can get!

This is also an important point to bring up - reaction times. Unless you are bracket racing, reaction times don't matter at the track. About 12 years ago I was at the drag strip with my Audi A4 and lined up with my friend in his Camaro SS - he crossed the finish line first but ran a 12.9@113 vs my 12.7@110 - I would consider that my 1/4 mile win, not his (although I know he would have walked me from a roll).

On the street if the stars align and you somehow line up next to someone where you can carry out a full 1/4 race from a stop, reaction times DO matter and your 1/4 mile time that is 0.2 seconds faster than someone else's will not matter if you react 0.2 seconds slower than them.

Wow I am speechless by your speech ... have you though of pursuing a career on politics ? The point is it’s a 1/4 mile thread I can care less who has the fastest MPH I am concerned about who wins the race and that is getting to the finish line first .... Have you ever raced someone at the track than they beat you and you tell them but hey I got a higher mph ??? Come on man I know you are team Terry I understand but if you want to talk your higher speeds start a roll racing thread and fire off all the info .... 1/4 mile I am concerned about time not high MPH.... I must say wow I wish I could write as beautiful as you seriously you would be an amazing politician ... FYI a Stinger is not messing with a hellcat stop the nonsense be real with yourself ....I get the idea traction loss and this and that .... but no a hellcat is different animal ...

In the street reaction time is everything ... but that why is a street race lol ...also most street races are roll racing for the most parts .... on the street generally from a roll the faster car will win, with the proper reaction time .... but anything can happen on a street race ...

 

[brancky3]

Bingo, that's the point that needs to stick with people. I'm not aiming to build a drag racing machine on the Stinger platform (as I'm sure a lot of people would agree with) so why put so much emphasis on the 1/4 mile ET? Unless you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time, the trap speed is ultimately showing the faster car. I'm in no way trying to shoot down impressive ET's, but I bought my car to use on the street and I think MPH is more important to equate to real life situations. We wouldn't have these MPH figures without the 1/4 mile measurement, so it serves multiple purposes as StungBlueGT2 outlines.

SO WHY DONT YOU START A ROLL RACE THREAD. THIS IS THE 1/4 MILE THREAD FOR THOSE OF US THAT CARE ABOUT 1/4 MILE TIMES AND HOW THEY GOT TO THOSE TIMES. YES I CARE ABOUT TRAP SPEEDS, I CARE ABOUT E.T., BUT I DO NOT CARE FOR THE REST OF THIS SIDE TRACKING BS.

I dont get what you guys dont get. Some of us want a place to read about 1/4 mile times and what people are doing for those. Those of you that care more about roll racing info start a thread.

What is so hard for people to get.

Yes I agree if you roll racing and street racing is your thing then start a roll racing thread ... and most of the racing I done is on the streets ... but I have built all my cars and measure there performance at the track ....

What exactly do you expect people to post about in a roll racing thread? There aren't any exact measurements that can be used aside from 60-130mph which is pretty hard to do unless you have a private track tbh.

 

[Angel]

This a 1/4 mile thread so let’s keep it at that .... what are we doing to better our times ??? Let’s leave all the other shit elsewhere about roll racing and trap speeds .... not saying is not important but let’s stay on subject ... all this well I can beat a hellcat if he doesn’t have traction ... no shit I can beat a jet fighter I’df he slows down ... what’s the point guys ... let’s focus on the fastest 1/4 mile time and how we can we get there ...

Well I don’t know you tell me lol .... Branchy “ hey guys I installed DP and AP intake and raced a hellcat and smoked him” Terry “ wow that’s impressive that’s what the JB4 can do that why trap speed matters and this is better than ecu tune “ Then I come in “ Hey guys I beat my friend gtr the other day , I took off on him and he didn’t know we were racing but I beat him” other person wow dude that impressive ... # quickest stinger in the world .... the point is at the of the day it’s about 1/4 mile let’s keep at that ...

My point is gentlemen we can start a roll racing thread and post videos of roll racing and share stories of roll racing and so forward ... we can also share metrics and data if possible .... but let’s not ignore the fact that this thread is based on 1/4 mile ... I am all about roll racing lol .... I love it ... but I care about 1/4 time and how can I improve it and what others have done to improve it ...

 

[StungBlueGT2]

You, speechless impossible! Lol. And no never a politician, I prefer teaching by writing non fiction instead of spreading fake news.

And doesn’t look like you even read my “speech”, because I’m not disagreeing it’s a 1/4m thread or that the one with the lower ET wins... I’m simply pointing out that the 60ft & trap speeds all 1/4m tracks & tonkabob provides are there for good reason. They are both useful measurements for different aspects of performance...

Think you’re actually missing the point again. No, I wouldn’t tell someone that beat my ET I got a higher MPH, but it’s still a fact I had the “faster” car. He simply got a better launch, but since I would have been gaining on him the whole way it proves I had the faster car...

And that’s where I lost you. I didn’t say anything about Terry, or a hellcat in my post. And if you’re only concerned about 1/4m ETs then start your own tread without the 60ft, trap speed, and all the mods that tonkabob provides. I bet it wouldn’t be as popular because it doesn’t include the helpful information showing you how everyone made those ETs...

 

[Tonkabob]

I agree all 1/4 mile metrics are interesting and useful for assessing your cars performance. ET is the most important in a 1/4 mile race obviously. Roll racing prowess is nearly impossible to measure unless everyone does 60-130 and measures with a dragy - hence the need for a roll race thread. Even a faster Trap in the 1/4 doesn't mean the car would win in a roll race. It might it might not.
