$100 for the first person to send me a video, VIA EMAIL, of their TUNED* Stinger running the 1/4 mile at a legal race track in under 12.4 seconds with the time clearly indicated on the track. I want to see the lights lit up at the end showing the time.

* By tuned I mean chipped or ECU tuned - not just exhaust, intake or anything like that. I want to see a tuned Stinger run the 1/4 mile.

I don't care about 1/4 mile runs already posted on the internet.

If you cannot get better than a 12.4 second quarter mile than I'm not interested.

The video cannot already be posted on YouTube. I will post it at our YouTube channel.
 
I might be up for this. But are you saying that the acceptance of the “$100” also gives up rights to the ownership of the video? Or are you just asking for the right to post video?

No, you keep the rights to your video. I just want to be the first to post it. I will also continue to offer this reward for higher achievements. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it...

I think with a few mods and our tuning solution that should be doable. My guess is you would need to be over 400whp to hit those times based on the wait on the car. Let me talk to my customer and see if he wants to do a bit more to it and hit those numbers.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Great! Thank you! :) And welcome to the community!
 
Midpipes getting done this week and then I’ll try to hit the 1/4 mile track next weekend.

Great! Please keep us posted...

This is unfair, since we can't do that in Switzerland. Hence I demand a reward for the best Fondue made :)

Send me the Fondue. :p

For a YouTube marketer maybe. Not for me. I have YouTube videos that have been running for years and have never made a dollar off of them. Perhaps because I don't market them - but that's not my concern or motivation for the video.

Even if it were - and I made a lot of money on it - why would it matter? You could download the video, share it in your own account, market it - and earn. I don't own the rights to it. It's just a video. Worst case scenario and the thought of me potentially earning more than I'm paying for it - you could always just not send me your video.

you should consider doing the marketing for the video. Any viewer who watches a stinger video can be exposed to ads for kia accessories and/or your forum, perhaps -- this can be done within the video (ad-overlay) or you can do things like retargeting etc. You don't have to run ads against the video (pre-roll) and this can be done separately.
Similarly, visitors to the forum can be 're-engaged' with relevant advertising next time they're on YT -- especially if it's a Kia dealer/vendor trying to sell services specifically for Kia [Stinger] owners.

And re: monetization, beware of the 3 strike policy, which can threaten the entire YT account in the event there's a claim against the video, including claim against content within the video. I was just curious about the use-case for adsense, is all...but from a marketing perspective, there's a lotta' things that can be done.

I'll do something or other but if it earns more than a few cents, literally a few cents, it'll be my highest earning YouTube video...

I was browsing through your website and could not find any info. any estimate on when a tune will be available or updates?

I am guessing no one has done this yet...

Yep $5 prize for that one and grandma gives you a bonus wet kiss! Lol
 
We are making 55 more WHP now with the PNP chip. We have an open TNT the 14th, I am going to try both the 91 octane and 93 octane setting.

Not really interesting in the $100, but I will give it to you for sharing.
 
I suspect your April 14th date got rained out. When is the next attempt? I've been thinking of going also. We can have 2 blue stinger going side by side!
