2017 Charger Daytona 392...to a Kia?!

[Erock1800]

New to the forum, I replaced my 392 with the Kia Stinger GT2 Hichroma Red. Totally shocked all my friends. The Daytona was fun and bad ass. But it’s in your face raw (although I did like that, 24/7 gets a little old), fast too. But the Kia sold me on the AWD, similar performance numbers as my 392, and better gas mileage then my 392. Car will be tinted on Saturday and the remaining portion of the painted roof will be wrapped in gloss black. This will give the appearance of a full panoramic sunroof and to me aestheticly give it a better appearance IMO. Looking forward to many miles and showing some surprised Charger, Camaro and mustang owners my tail lights!

I'm a Camaro SS convert. I think it's going to surprise everyone how many "muscle car" sales the Stinger steals away.

Plus, Kia is #1 in initial quality, those "muscle cars" are the bottom of the quality pit.

Agreed. Check my signature list. Still have the GTO as a stablemate.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your Stinger GT! It truly is a very impressive car - and more and more people are buying them after never considering owning a Kia. Boy, have things changed...

Welcome to the hive and congrats on your new Stinger! I drove a 1964 Chevelle with a 406 (400 sbc .030 over) as a daily driver for years before selling it as the down payment on our first house. I still miss it, but this car has me smitten! I feel you about BADASS and raw, and speak from firsthand experience that aside from the V8 sound, you won't miss anything else after too long

Interesting as I’m a Dodge fan and seriously considered Daytona 392. I liked refinement and Kia reliability over Dodge. I agree while 392 is awesome it can get tiresome. The Daytona interior is dated and sort of cheap looking too. Nice color choice on the Stinger . Man and that pull when v6 TT is in it’s sweet spot is just awesome!
