• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Hey Stingers,

I have a youtube and rumble channel doing car reviews and recently Drag Racing videos with my Stinger !
Looking for Stingers that want to get out to the drag strip for 1/4 mile runs and some smaller track runs.

Reach out to me so we can connect and get runs in with each other and against others.
Stock and tuned up, lets Race Baby ! And Ask any of your friends with Stangs, or Camaro's, Porsches, etc.. etc... to connect.

Shannonville has Aug. 2, mix and match, so you can do both small track runs and 1/4 mile runs ! they're not as busy as TMP, so you'll get in many runs in.
Other dates as well. And other dates Here, at TMP and St. Thomas as well.

Here's a race against a Supra !

I thought the stock Stingers were faster than that, isn't the stock Stinger supposed to be able to do sub 13's? The way these races were filmed is not the best as if the camera is on the winning vehicle you won't see any race at all just a car driving down the track.

Most of these videos do show some one pulling away or falling back, etc.. if I was able to get it.... When it's super close, yes, neither camera angle will pick up the other car except for the butt end, but most show enough for seeing who's winning or losing. Watch more of them.
Stock Stingers best time from Car magazines like car and driver only managed a 12.9 secs... and they had low 13's mostly... So sub 13 stock is not the 100% every run to do that... they run them a lot and record their best... My best so far is 12.954 sec. @108mph.

so anyone doing less than 12.8, is not stock, Super not likely or very Low DA and wind was behind them or all just went well. But I have yet to see any video proof of any one doing less than 12.8, STOCK Really STock..not, OH< I only have muffler delete or ONLY that..

Looks like you are having fun. But I beat if you were to added a little Tune to your Stinger not only your fun factor level would rise your viewership would see a considerable increase as well. :thumbup:

you mean if I tune my car and race and beat hellcats and bwm's, etc.. I'll get more views ?
One day I'll get that, but not a rush.
Someone on youtube wants to see me tuned so bad, he said he's considering starting a fund to help me buy one... ha... maybe I'll take him up on it :)

Like you said earlier, Car & Driver and manufacturer performance numbers exist and are likely more accurate than anything someone on youtube is going to accomplish. So if someone wants to know how their stock car stacks up, they can just compare numbers on paper.

For entertainment, seeing a badass modded/tuned Stinger shred competition would definitely be the way to gain views and subscribers. Youtube is mostly an entertainment platform. Give them what they want or languish in obscurity. You can even produce detailed videos on your Stinger's "transformation" as you add things and tune the car.
