I bought my 2019 GTS a little over a year ago. Any time I have done research on her KiaStinger.com is the best place to get info. And plenty of it as well. So I figured I would join. Haven't joined a forum before. But when I bought this car I was immediately wanting info on tunes tires suspension and such. Bone stock still. I did 13.25 in the 1/4. My top speed is 165 mph. It was a little scary but she did well! That's pretty bad for a 4 door kia. I hear that all the time. You bought a Kia? Your damn right wanna ride? Lol. Anyway thanks. And drive safe!

That's the only pic I have on this device.

Hey briansrighton_stinger,

Welcome to the Stinger Forum!

The 2019 Kia Stinger GTS is a fantastic choice and a rare find.

13.25 is a decent start but you can definitely bump those numbers up with some aftermarket parts.

Come check us out at www.K8StingerStore.com and reach out if you have any questions or need a discount.


All the best,

Daniel @ the K8 Stinger Store​

Howdy. Excellent! I've pushed to 155 MPH, once. I guess it was scary, only because I've never done such a fool thing before. Once in my life before this car, I saw 135 MPH on a speedometer, a friend's Cougar back in probably '71: the danged trees on that two lane city street turned into a green tunnel, and the car was noisy, of course: but also seemingly all over the road (must have been exaggerated by my terror): the stoplight ahead (at the end of that tunnel) turned yellow and he was braking and downshifting like a fiend: made it too. "Never again!" I said. And decades later it was a lie. At 155, my Stinger felt just as stable as at 75, which gratified and frankly surprised me. Kia did not lie: this gran turismo performs as advertised.
