Texas Stinger Swarm
The stinger had a bad launch. Not a bad result, I honestly thought it was going to be closer to the stang and challenger.
World Greatest Drag Race tomorrow!

I wonder how many Scat Pack/SRT owners would be pleased to see the tail lights of a little TT, cousin of the $19k VW golf (MQB platform). Granted, the Challenger was reeling it in based on the trap speed, but still--they probably see the TT and think "cute little Beetle." Those RS models are always ready to deliver a swift kick to the nads, and the scary thing is they tend to take a tune very well.
For perspective, in order to match the the McLaren's power-to-weight (720 HP, 3100 pounds), I believe the Stinger GT would need somewhere north of 900 HP. I believe the 720S has unofficial runs in the 9s.
Another sobering thought: old school drag racing logic used to say that each tenth of a second equates to around a car length in the quarter mile. That probably doesn't hold up completely when you get too far above or below the 13-14s, but wow there was some spanking going on here.

A well tuned Stinger could knock off the TTRS, Challenger and Mustang. I know thats a big "if" but still fun to think about. I'm faster then the Mustang!

Hey it’s the first generation, they have that D-AWD and maybe a 3.5L V6 coming.

The Stinger WON: McLaren's MSRP is 4.9 times more, and it is only 33% quicker.
Diminishing returns. From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

I was disappointed that didn’t use a Jeep Trackhawk. Trackhawk would have got off line fast on unprepped surface.. I have always said in real world think its probably fastest stoplight drag racer. Those little sprints to 60 mph without getting arrested.

Yeah. Only waking the neighbors.
