What Do Old-School Mustang Guys Think of the Kia Stinger? | Automobile Magazine - Automobile

Interesting article/story, however, "you get some nice acceleration noise from the engine." Hello whose stinger are they driving. There were a couple other annoyances I "wood" point out but once again this evening the very good tequila came out. Hopefully the very very good tequila pops it's little noggin out en la nocha de manana.

Just finished reading this article. Pretty good review from a couple of guys used to building 450 HP classic Mustangs.

"It's a nice little car. Feels good, feels solid. But I think we could up its game."

I don't think they noted anything more than other reviewers or the aftermarket has: good low end power, solid transmission, comfortable interior, stylish, a little floaty diving into a corner, maybe a better intercooler, brakes, or tighter suspension.

Good read. Would be curious to see what these guys can do to make the Stinger shine. I still feel KIA should do more with this car. Offer a sportier, more powerful version and benchmark it to better the M4 and Audi RS 5 Sportback. They should shuffle the models around, lower level with the new 2.5T and offer extra power tune and sporty bits, GT should be the current GT2 top it out at $50k with a sporty tuned suspension, wider wheels and power bump for an extra $2.5K. Then do a GT-S with the 3.5T, 20” wheels standard, sport suspension standard with a track/competition option and more power, of course. Priced at around $58k standard and $62 with track/competition version, all in price. If you can get that on a deal for $52K out the door, like they are doing now, or slightly more, while having performance to beat the big boys and some more comfortable seats and higher quality plastics (for the luxury crowd that hate scratchy plastics, that you find in some of the big boys, by the way). This would bring over some more folks that want those extra power and luxury feel.

I would take a 2.5T with a hybrid powertrain and 400+ hp/tq when fully charged up and 330/350 from the standard turbo setup. For this I would go with a wagon variant or Sport Tourismo.



Make it ride just like this and I’ll do a Ceramic Silver version.

Of the 20+ cars/SUVs I've owned I think I've said the same thing about each of them.

Modder-itis.
