This article on an Australian motoring blog says that Biermann thinks he can get more out of the Stinger GT. Now am I going to have to wait longer to get one?

Yes, they can surely get more power out of the Stinger's twin turbo V6. I bet they're just waiting to see how well it sells as is to determine whether or not they'll put in the extra effort for a more expensive version...

they could even put in the 5.0 v8 that hyundai/genesis has been using

Sure. Why not? But I get the feeling they'd more likely simply add boost so they can keep that extra special green outlook amongst the public...

Well. You'll surely be waiting awhile. My guess it at least 2-3 years. It's definitely not happening any time soon.

i dont think theres too much of a weight difference. v8's are relatively light. more than most would think. and turbos are heavy. my iron block 2.4t weighs about the same as an ls2

Questionable as to whether or not it would fit. Though I will say, with the G80 at least, the TT3.3 v6 fuel economy is hardly any better than the v8, so you gotta ask yourself "why even bother with the v6?"

I think it's mostly about perception. In most people's eyes it's good to be green. I imagine the way Kia sees it is - why use the big bad V8 when the little green V6 does just as good and saves a little fuel.
