Beat a Corvette

[Kia Strong]

Unofficially beat a corvette off the line. He was very surprised after I told him it’s a new KIA.
My son was with me ( I know I am a bad father.) Now my son who will turn 16 soon wants a Stinger. Before today didn’t want to even think about a KIA.
Way to go KIA, I love my KIA.

hah! awesome! great kill! what style vette do you think? c5 c6 c7?

in before the nasty crowds yelling at you about racing

It was a C7 stingray, no racing just a friendly let’s see what your can do from 0 to 60

I think he wasn't very good at driving his Stingray lol. Even the non Z51 has almost a full second on the GT 0-60.

Two explanations are possible. The corvette had a bad driver or the Stinger had a great driver. Lol

Probably a bit of both.

Snow is expected in the upper midwest this weekend. AWD Stingers can stomp all over Vettes in that weather...

To be fair, the c7 has a ridiculous amount of wheel spin and torque steer before it actually gets going. Which just shows how much more balanced and capable the stinger is.

Your Stinger looks mean, lol love that white

Corvette apologists are coming. Despite the fact that you are not trying to make a direct comparison between the cars and their capabilities. They're coming.

Thank you! I love how white makes the trim really pop. Thinking about wrapping all my trim black to match my z06. Plus I am absolutely in love with red interior on white cars. All 3 of my cars have that combo.

Apologizing for what exactly? I may have bucked the trend buying a Corvette when I was 25 but I'll be the first to acknowledge they have a well-earned reputation for being driven by 70+ year olds, who may not be the fastest or most inclined to race in traffic. No one here is going to debate that a Stinger is faster than a C7 because it isn't. What it is is a much better single car. As perfectly evidenced by me going from having an Optima SX as a daily driver and a Corvette for nice weather and weekends, to a single Stinger GT. If you want one car that fits a ton of stuff and is also almost as fast as a C7, Stinger is the perfect vehicle.

Love that Z06 Penguin!

Thank you! It's the perfect nice weather weekend car and that's it. Especially since it's a convertible. I put a pair of shoes in the trunk and it's full. Lol which is exactly why I bought the stinger. Traded in my Camry which was my daily. The stinger is such a balanced car. Gives me speed when I want it yet being practical. 4 doors and a hatch! Who can ask for more.
