Is The Stinger Gt A Little Light On Horsepower?

[Kia Stinger]

Sal you're really resurrecting a dead thread here, but I'll jump in with my answer. They could easily squeeze more hp from this engine but with this much weight how terrible an mpg rating do you think people would put up with for a mid-size liftback family sedan? Where it is right now is about as low as I'll tolerate, so any lower and they'd lose me.

Yes, I did raise this one from the very dead. Okay, so... On one hand I entirely agree with you. But... On all the cars I've tuned in the past - my fuel mileage always increased two or three miles per gallon in normal driving. Sure, it was more thirsty if I pummeled the gas pedal - but I rarely did that much outside of the first few days or weeks after the initial bump in power. I liked knowing the extra power was there when I needed/wanted it - and enjoyed the better MPG the rest of the time. Wouldn't/Couldn't this be the same case for the Stinger?
