What ? Do you still have?

[amandasaza08]

So far Kia has made plenty known about the Stinger during launch events, and this community has collectively unearthed even more details yet. With everything that we've seen so far, what are you still waiting to find out about this car in terms of features or specs?

For me, I'm still wanting to know:
Specifics on the AWD system. I expect it to basically be the Hyundai HTRAC system, but there hasn't been any specifics on it's design or how it splits power between the front & back of the car.
Are the primary headlights directional/adaptive with the steering? i.e. will they follow your path when making turns.

1) Reports are that normal split on the AWD is 20/80 and can shift to 50/50 in low traction conditions.
2) Headlights on the GT2 (U.S. trim model) only are directional and turn with the steering on turns. They are also self-leveling on startup.

Good thread, confusing title.
I'd like to find out more about the Lamda II T-GDI. From specs to details like materials, and other features. I found this:

Basically the title has no significant. Might consider renaming.

I am still looking out for the actual real stock power outing hp/trq. Many reports out there of the 3.3 being underrated but no real number to hang your hat on.

There are some dyno charts floating around. I think the 3.3TT punches a little above its weight when combined with the 8-speed torque converter transmission and launch control. It is certainly a bit overly conservative on the EPA fuel estimates. If I stay in Comfort mode and keep speed in the 65-70 mph range, I can get 30 mpg out of mine pretty consistently.

Over in the tuning forum, one posted a video of their stock vs. stage 2 tune pulls last night.

Does anyone have a link to an Aussie owners’s manual? I’ve seen the US one, but with so many different features in other markets it would be good to check the right one before I pull the trigger.

 

[eflyguy]

Not the manual, but the brochure has a list of the features..
