Kia Stinger GT vs Mustang GT 10-Speed- Track Review // Lap-Times and Drag Race

This is a closer matchup than you would think! We take the Stinger and 10-speed Mustang GT out onto the drag strip and the race-track to see which one comes out on top. Drifting, laughing, and a real rivalry ensues... on "One Track Mind" only on THROTTLE HOUSE.

What year Mustang is that? And is that kia stock? Clean race though

If it has the A10 transmission it must be a 2018.

Video says it was an 18 A10 with PP1 but owner addd all the stuff to make it a PP2

It was catching up in the drag race, but it just show how good the tech is. Not surprisingly, it was 3s faster around the track.

3 seconds is really not much considering skinny 225 tires verses 275 and fact mustang had track suspension options. Put fatter tires and stiffer suspension on Stinger it would be all over mustang

Not to be mean, but 3 seconds on a track is an eternity. It is like 3 seconds on a drag strip. No doubt the stinger could have benefited from 1"+ on the front and rear and about 50hp/50trq more. That would have been interesting.

Overall, highly impressed...KIA has come a long way.

 

[Ucinn]

The fact that a Kia is being compared to a top of the line Mustang is incredible enough and is able to compete.

These guys do crazy comparisons like this - nobody is saying they are in the same class, it was just a fun review to make.

Track setup muscle car vs. "tech wizardry"...

Here's the Throttle House review of the G70.

Thomas is a Bimmerphile and a Time Attack driver so he really knows what he's talking about when it comes to handling/driving dynamics (TH and Savagegeese are the 2 most enthusiast-oriented reviewers on YT).

Lots of mentions/comparisons w/ the Stinger; really would like to see a harder-core version of the Stinger (GTS?) where the suspension is more tied down like the G70.

As for the track comparison w/ the Mustang GT, the G70 would have been the more appropriate choice (more like a 4-door Mustang); even more so if and when Genesis comes out w/ a performance variant.
