Did the AWD PERFORMES BETTER IN THE GREEN HELL FIRST DRIVE??

[carlosfernandez]

I read almost all the reviews that came from the Nurburgring test drive and didn't recall but in one the editor says that the AWD even weigh more than the RWD performs better coming out from the corners !! Did some of the fellow members find out if that's true?? Or the lap time of the AWD VS RWD??

Nothing definitive. Some commented the awd was just as good with perhaps a little more understeer. Another said rwd was more fun, in the sun ... for the enthusiast. Awd most definitely for the wetter, snowier parts of the world. Sounds like you can't go wrong with either.

I live in a tropic area so weather is not a big concern for me!! I will go for the RWD and save some weight and money!! Hope that both come with launch control !!!

What real world advantage will launch control give you? For all the light to light drag races?

I'm hungry for some Stinger lap times from a pro driver. The reviewers weren't allowed to drive fast, and had to follow a slow lead driver. Well, it was "fast" for some reviewers, but those who actually drive fast were frustrated. I would have had a hard time not punching it and flying by the lead driver! When I came back to the start, I'd just tell the Kia rep, "Ah, sorry, I misunderstood, I thought it was a race." Anyway, I really do hope Kia get's some pro drivers and laps both of them. My guess is they don't want to publish the times, because apparently "all models have done at least 480 laps on the Nürburgring during testing". They should have a pretty good idea of what they can do. If they get a pro driver for a hot lap, though, I recommend the guy who did the Giulia Quad lap. That dude is INSANE. It's the most unbalanced, by-the-seat-of-your-pants "official" lap time I've seen. The blue jeans and wrist watch is just daft.
