Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

[Flameangel]

I have two plush toys on my dash, like you a bee and a scorpion. This weekend "We" will be going to the honey shop at Mudgee again so I expect the others to buy plush bees there is a big range.

That's funny, I'm not the only one then

 

[Flameangel]

Really tough guy like you, I’m surprised.

C'mon, all you guys are "big softies "inside

 

[Flameangel]

Thank god there is no fluffy dice hanging off the mirror.

Hmmmm, now that's an idea

Yes but I’m not stuffed.

I take it you’ll be giving the cattle grates a wide berth this time?

There is on the rear a blue one but the suction cup doesn't suck, that sucks- ah no it doesn't? Its lying in the boot.

Yep I won't be taking any of us down there. I might show them the road, it was 12km of hell, I actually also got beached on a hump as in strandling it. Again we had to take everything out of the car.

Ouch, smoked what was it ? Probably the 6.3.

Not sure but I feel like it was the 4.4L supercharged V8....what difference would launch control have made?

Little or nothing, that other thing took off like a scolded cat!. I got the same treatment from a 6.4l jeep hemi I don't mind getting eased away from but annihilated is a bitter pill to swallow. I threw $4k at my WRX so it would never happen again, it worked.

The car nerd inside me is screaming out to correct you so here goes... that's a Mercedes, not a BMW, and it looks like the GLE63 with 420kw. So yup, it's plenty quick

 

[Flameangel]

What mods did you do on your WRX ? @Ozstung

Hahhahaa oh shit....can see I know cars. I just assumed it was an x7!
So it should have beaten my measely 280rwkw bahha

If you're going to be spending $150-$200K on a car you would be pissed if the stinger could beat it. No surprise that you lost that one Hemz.

Hemz, with Uber is the Stinger considered a "luxury car" for their Uber Select service? I don't see it listed as one of their vehicles but it definitely should be imo. Thinking once I buy a stinger I might do it every now and again if it is considered as part of their "luxury car" line-up.

True that....it would be if in Sydney but they don't have uber black in Newcastle. I'll enquire a d get back to you...apparently uber black is double double earnings

Be happy knowing what /she paid in order to blow you off at the lights like that.

My current car is a sub-5s 0-100km/h 4Gen Liberty GT Spec.B. I know what sort of work I had to do to it to get it to that point.

Those Jeep SRT8s are insane - 2.3T and 0-100km/h in 5 seconds is nuts...

I'll have a proper dyno printout next Friday with my rwkw and torque. I believe torque is 500nm though
