Bought a GT a few months ago but really have just been looking and reading a bit. Decided to make a account and say hi. Got a few small plans on the horizon (intake, exhaust, and racechip) but for now just enjoying it. Recently decided to Dyno it for s&g's and for a base line.
It was done on a Dynojet here in S.A. - Max HP was 359.09/5.71 RPM & Max Torque was 417.40/3.38 RPM. I'll post the Dyno sheet as soon as I get a chance to scan it.

Welcome aboard, Eric! Thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your Stinger GT! And thank you for the dyno. What did the Stinger replace for you?

Appreciate the kind words. The Stinger actually replaced a BMW M235I for me and a M2 also....kind off I had a BMW M2 being built for European delivery and I just happened to stop in a Kia dealer for a cheap daily driver. Saw the Stinger and couldn't stop looking at it as I was talking to the salesman about a forte. Decided to swap vehicles on a whim pretty much (wife loves that..... Never ever do this folks!!!). Love the car, except for the weak exhaust and lack of manual transmission (I love rowing gears). Now all that's left is few tuning things, wrap the roof, and find a car club in San Antonio.

Congrats on the Stinger and welcome to the forum. Man, you passed up the European Delivery for the Stinger, tells me the Stinger must have been as much fun to drive as that M235 and I’m guessing since it cost less than the M2’s starting price, you can spend that extra dough on adding more performance. Platform is great as it’s been tuned by Albert Biermann so you have a great starting point. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Thank you all and yeah passed up on the M2. Not going to lie regret it a little (love Germany and MT). It is definitely fun to drive but it really isnt as sporty as those vehicles neither is it meant to (I believe). Its a Tourer that can really move. Part of the reason I got it was the 4 doors for family and lease incentives. I actually leased it for the 5k and then refinanced it 2 days later since Kia really doesnt have a penalty. Ill have that Dyno up tomorrow though and thanks again for the warm welcome folks.
