Tuned GT takes on American muscle

The more of these kills I witness, the more I'm tempted to get tuned.

Nice post, gee a little “tweak” to the Stinger really smokes “old school” muscle. I have noticed driving mine around, a lot of Falcon, Commodore & Audi owners I’ve come across just give a wary glance & some nod, word is out, be afraid, be very afraid of Stingers they bite...lol.
BTW, even at my age I’m tempted to do a chip & tune, but still sitting back taking it all in.
PS: the G8 is genuine Aussie muscle...

Wow. That’s some tough competition and the Stinger just made it look easy.

I love how the Stinger squats at launch. Looks likes it’s ready for takeoff!

Also was that the Stinger chirping the tires going into 2nd? Must be making some serious power. Is that the stage 1 Tork tune with DP and cat deletes like the shop car? Either way awesome runs, thanks for sharing and Go Team Stinger!

Do it! You only live once.

I know, that’s why I bought the car, would need the financial controllers approval & I also think it’s early days to go down this track just yet for me, but in the meantime plenty of info gathering....

Pretty sure the 2nd gear chirp was the Camaro. Tuned AWD Stinger won't chirp, but RWDs do.
I was just logging in to post this video but got beat to it!

I think so too. However it looks like that’s a RWD Stinger too. It chirps the tires in the first solo launch and don’t see the AWD badge on the back. Anyone know for sure?

 

[Tonkabob]

Its AWD, John states that in the videos notes.

looks like it. RWD all the way!!

RWD is fun, but region and climate comes in to play when making such decisions.

Exactly why I live in Florida.More fun in so many ways!

JK JK, to each their own but there’s nothing like a nice RWD power slide or a tire smoking burnout.

And a new rear end.

Lol. Yeah maybe Ill actually get to try those two cool RWD benefits once I get a non-defective differential installed.

Was your limited slip?

 

[StungBlueGT2]

Not to go further off topic but yes, and why Kias had my car waiting for the replacement.

Unfortunately it’s not a unique problem and nothing anyone caused themselves. I just realized there are multiple threads already discussing the defective differentials and several people are having theirs replaced too.

PS: Please nobody reading this be alarmed, it’s a extremely rare condition and it being taken care of by the dealer no questions asked.

You haven't lived until you've done a few ice racing laps in an AWD, on a frozen lake ...
