such a shame the Stinger is in its last year of production, a very underrated vehicle
Agreed, Kia was in a tough spot. The Stinger sold very poorly; lowering the MSRP would help sales but it wouldn't be profitable AND possibly create a loss for Kia. It has a very vocal fringe following on this channel, but they simply didn't put their money where their mouths are.
They stopped selling the most popular GT1 trim and removed equipment from it. The 2021 was perfection... I owned one. Those Italian inspired rims were beautiful.
Yeah it is, cls shocked me it couldn't gap it. 450 cls really not that much slower than 53
💯
It’s tuned
When all things considered such as price, warranty, standard equipment, driving experience, performance etc, nothing comes close to the Stinger. I love mine. The sound of the Charger is amazing
Something about a naturally aspirated v8. Dodge definitely does it best especially with their supercharged versions. Like most turbocharged v6 they tend to be a bit quieter but we do get that "woosh" sound of the BOVs once we let off. Nonetheless like you I love my Stinger as well. Very balanced AWD car & is great in the winter. Granted mine is garaged ATM but the few days it has snowed it definitely puts my winter Sportage to shame & that's with all season tires unlike my winter Sportage that has Bridgestone Blizzaks on her. Can only imagine what the Stinger would perform like with a good set.
@@josephrepetsky546 Here in Oz we only get a RWD which is sensational. I would love to have an AWD as I had several Subaru's which were AWD and I loved them
All wonderful cars....I gotta say i love my
Stinger....always a delightful blast to drive !
@@dontnoy I agree they are all great cars and I would happily have any of them. Fortunately, I have my Stinger
@@belvederedog2563 I don't think I'd want a CLS53 but I wouldn't mind a stinger!
This channel continues to make me so excited to get my Stinger. That thing is a rocket off the line!
Best car I’ve had.
I own a Stinger 19, love it, you won’t be disappointed. Here in Australia it has a good following, I’m part of a group that goes on meets and drives, so awesome to see a swarm of 26 stingers in convoy 😊
You should, you won’t regret it. I own 19 GT2 and it’s a beautiful piece of machine. The looks, the performance and you just can’t understand you getting that from a Kia. Great machine!!!
You'll love it. Mine is 2019 Kia Stinger Gt2 470whp 511 tq. FBO E30 Meth Jb4
What colour did you get?
Wow, that Stinger was on fire! Proud owner of a stinger ☺️
Likewise!! 2019 pearl white on black GT1 👌🏿
Same swp on bronze
I've got a 2022 ascot green. Love the car!
My is black 2022 > o ]
Dude, it's a Kia
Now that's surprising 😳😲 i know the stringer was quick but now i see it's really punching above it's weight .. very impressive 😎 i really thought it was going to be out classed but it was holding its own with the big boys 😁👍
I don't know why it's surprising?
I can't understand all these comments.
There's a reason I just bought a 22' Stinger GT2 AWD.
You made the right choice and at the right time as the stinger is about to go out of production which is sad to hear it's just such a nice car and the performance it offers for the price it's a bargain
@@FB6K24Z7 Oh I know it does suck and I finally got the exact one I wanted. Loving this car so far. Such an underappreicated car.
@@chiron03 no doubt the Stinger especially the GT is a nice car I love it myself and glad you got the exact spec which you wanted it's definitely underappreciated that's why KIA didn't get to sell these as much as they expected and now when the car is about to go out of production people are finally starting to realize what a great brilliant peice of engineering the Stinger GT is
@@FB6K24Z7 Yeah the Stinger had just come out right after I bought a 2017 Ford Focus RS and I thought it was awesome. Fast forward 5 years and I sold the RS and bought a Stinger.
I knew the Stinger should have the better start. Glad it was clarified that the charger got a head start in the first race. The sound the charger makes is beautiful.
Yeah cause that was a bad launch. My car bogged down.
I wish someone would bring a tuned stinger or G70 someday, if Sam was close to where I live, I would have been in every single video of his, but I have the big brother G80 sport.
@Richard Kistner sure, what ever makes you happy. Fact is Stinger won just about all races, FACT.
too many Kia haters getting butt hurt. The Stinger is no joke, but some just cannot come to terms with that.
@@marcolucchini8173 stinger won 2 races and lost 3….that ain’t all…
Stinger is a crazy fast car love it
Damm stinger is killing it…
It's so funny how Kia really kicks ass nowadays! I have a slight problem now and I wonder if anybody noticed this. I took a ride with a friend in a Hyundai Tucson backseat, and I felt I was riding "diagonally" - the way the seat was positioned haha. Has anybody else experienced that diagonal travel feeling, rather than being sitting perfectly straight? A Venza I rode in made me feel I was perfectly perpendicular to my travel. The latest Tucson was the only one I felt that way, since I haven't had a chance to check out a Kia
@@adamwright9741 Brodie think the seats are higher in the back
Hey Sam, you should get get that stinger on the dyno
@@michaelbanko9965 you think its modded
Was the stinger stock or tuned ?? Asking 4 a friend.
Man, that Stinger is a bargain. I mean considering its price it is so damn good.
Nevertheless the sound of the Dodge is unreal.
Thank you, and agreed!
It's crazy how poorly the Stinger sold and got axed.
@@TheBreakfastLoveryeah that is a shame the public likes SUVs ...
@@TheBreakfastLover did it sell poorly? I've not looked into but based on these comments there's loads of stinger owners 😏
@@MrM4rvelous that don't means it didn't sell poorly. Car manufacturers need certain numbers to be sold, if they can't get that number, that means it not selling. Example if their goal is to sell 400 unit and only sold 150 unit, that not good sell.
First of all Sam I love it when you include the stinger in your video. Secondly it’s pretty nice to see you added slow mo launching.
I was really pleasantly surprised how well the stinger held out against the CLS53
Definitely surprised me too even though cls is heavy ASL but still expected more from it
I was amazed to see it slightly pull away too
Imagine spending $30k more to get gapped by a Kia
This channel makes me love my Stinger more and more
Stinger hitting above its class 👊 also got to mention its the cheapest out of the 3
A Kia Stinger GT2 is $51,000 though, more expensive than a 392
@@DavidHernandez-nr2jp those are almost 60k now
@@layne4376 in that case, the charger sxt starts at $32,645 while the Kia Stinger base trim starts at $36,690. Dodge is still cheaper
@@DavidHernandez-nr2jp but y’all not comparing base trim though
@@layne4376 the only question I have is if the Kia started on fire at the track or on the way home lol
Those Chargers and Hellcats have always been a victim of their own low end torque. I always thought they should have built a few AWD Hemi's seeing how fast the Trackhawks launch.
They probably didn’t for reasons, plus isn’t the platform on trackhawks newer compared to chargers ?
They have awd hemi's
@@vincentmack9142 yea only 5.7s and they always have high mileage
I could tell in that first race stinger didn’t get a good start, things are way better than everything else off the line.
Stinger still impressing 6 years in...
The only thing I’m not a fan of when watching your videos is when you pick a car you thought was going to win, but lose, you never have the same energy/enthusiasm as when you’re winning. Always stay quiet when things don’t go your way as opposed to other TH-camrs who do similar stuff like you. When you lose, it’s always a quiet race the whole time. Would be nice if you would do some type of commentary even while you’re losing instead of either staying quiet the whole time or always just saying the same words all the time. I still love your videos and I’m gonna keep watching. Just thought I’d make a quick suggestion. Maybe other people would agree.
You should start getting the 0-60,60-130 and the 1/4mile times you get with each car
I love my Stinger GT2, it never lets me down!!
It will. It's a kia.
@@Welcometofacsistube I’ve seen em go 180-200k miles and no sweat. Earlier models were buggy tbh, but after 2018 they were great. 365hp and claps a 485 and AMG, Kia must be doing something right lol
@@alexflores5227 I work I. The automotive industry and see these kia/Hyundai pos daily.
Pure garbage
@@Welcometofacsistube No, they are good. You are the one who is garbage right here in the comments.
@@alexflores5227 faster doesn’t mean better lol nothing classy about owning a Kia 🤢
damn the stinger bein able to keep up with a scat is insane
All props to the stinger.
Love the sound or the V8 but man that Stinger just keeps surpassing expectations 😳
Yeah ,it beat the charger on the last roll race
As a 392 owner i will say do not sleep on the Stinga'!!
Everyone who has slept on em all have their regrets 😂😂 I have the 300 and know better than to challenge the stinger.

@@Hosshoggbossdogg not stingers
Kia finding out they made a competitive car without really even trying
Yep then discontinued it lol
Lmao. Kia! Total garbage!
@@swifitly-6149 Discontinued after a pretty solid 5 yrs to build an electric that is marketed to replace and outperform it anyway. It was never meant to be a volume sales car. The new KIA EV6 GT is doing 0-60 in 3.2 sec and embarrassing even more "fast" cars 😆
@@devonstorie2823 oof👀, electric sports car era is about to be crazy
@@swifitly-6149 Agreed. While I do love the visceral experience of loud V8s and shifting gears, most of the "fast" cars; hellcats, gt500s, and the foreign exotics are quickly going to prove obsolete in at least these stop light and drag race scenarios..Hobby and professional NHRA racing is differentmt, but I mean daily driver cars that people track once or twice... 5 more years and I don't think we'll be seeing anymore strictly gasoline muscle/super cars. They're all going to at least be hybrid or full EV. Just can't compete with the instant torque. Crazy times indeed
The Stinger is a beast. I just traded mine in for an EV6. But what a fantastic car! Do not sleep on KIA's these days.
Just bought a 23 Stinger GT2 AWD Panthera Grey, was also looking at the EVG GT LINE but decided to go stinger for now, how do you like your EV6? That will probably be my next car in 2 or 3 years
@@briandelgado4922 Yeah I got the the EV6 GT-Line in Runway Red GT2 package. Crazy good vehicle. Didnt think I would like it more than the Stinger. The way it handles, the instant acceleration, and features are amazing. But congrats on your Stinger. If I could afford both, I would have kept the Stinger too lol. You're going to love it.
Got my Stinger in October but looked hard at the EV6. Loving the Stinger so far. So much power and it’s beautiful!
My EV6 GTLine2 is by far the best vehicle I've ever owned and one of the nicest I've ever driven.
@@patrickrea6574 right! Totally agree.
The 392 clearly the faster car. Just suffered from poor launches.
Love my Stinger! So underrated!
Had a gt2 stinger on my mind but needed a suv. Great car for the money,performance, and reliability.
Mate, I’ve been watching every stinger episode. Thanks👍🏻
Edit: love my stinger GT rwd 🎼🤘🏻
MOPARRR BABY, that amazing sound and look never gets old!!!
As an ex Stinger Elite owner these vids make me happy
That Charger moves out quite well. Love that exhaust~
She's a big girl, but she can dance
Damn I love the Stinger!
A lot closer than I expected!
Both by price and by HP, the Kia is a total winner as I expected. Good job Sam!
😂
Lol sure. Until that pos craps out at 60000 miles.
That's why it was cancelled by KIA. LMFAO SMH
@@Welcometofacsistube then you take it to the warranty coverage and you are set to go. Remind me what is the warranty on that pos charger
@dead_freak_prgaming2290 lol sure son. Kia/Hyundai crap has never or will ever viable.
Biggest pos' on the planet.
Nice visuals and music, watching this in 4k at work 😎
Dam man seems like 90% of your viewers are stinger owners and fans lol all I read is stinger this and stinger that in the comments
Been trying to decide between a 392 Scatpack and a Stinger to purchase this year...i think my mind has been made up
If you want to modify, definitely go Stinger route. Also, if you want AWD Stinger has that option as well. If you don't care about either and just love the sound of the v8 and raw power definitely the 392 is right for you.
I have a 2019 Challenger Scat with a 6 speed manual and crush these cars constantly. 3.90 rear end, and stock. I'm running 4 flat to 60mph and 10.6 to 100mph on the bald tires. I just got new tires last week that hook up even better than the OEs. I know I will lower those times with these tires. I just haven't had a chance to do it yet but it is launching even harder now. 22k miles on her. Plus, I have about 300 pounds of tools in my trunk and am getting those times. I have beat 3 Model 3 Performance Teslas too. Everyone that races me asks what I did to make it so fast. I just say, I added weight in the trunk plus it's a stick, 3.90 rear. Also, those automatic Chargers come with 2 different rear options. I'm curious to know what rear is in this car in this video. No spin at launch is key. I have not lost yet to any car since new in 2019. I drive it in the snow too here in Connecticut. I have beaten other Scats too bt a good margin. The 3 Teslas were close but a car to car and a half behind me. Everywhere I go in town people say they love my car and see me ripping around all the time. Thankfully I have the only one around in Octane Red with my American Bully in the passenger seat and most of the cops have already met me and know it's me tearing it up and they leave me be. The sticks ain't no joke if you know how to drive. I'm only running it in sport mode too, race mode, forget about it, you're my after dinner snack everytime. Never go by what you see online because a good driver makes all the difference in the world in racing.
Challenger way better in my opinion
I think AMG stands for A Money Grab.
Kia/Genesis 3.3 T is impressive. I love my G70
All Money Gone to shit
@@PERZN4LIFEAMG GT 4 door would have gapped all these cars
@@iQuattro1 in that case, model s plaid will take it to gapplebee’s
😮💨😮💨 that stinger man Kia came a long way to mess with the big boys
Mission was successfully accomplished. They came in, fucked shit up and left. Talk about grand entrance
@@GodsloveMuzik I agree a entrance no one saw coming when they entered
@@DJFilmsProductions That was the best part
@@DJFilmsProductions Exactly! Had they made the announcement, other manufacturers would have been prepared for a clap back. But since Kia dropped this on everyone unannounced, the other guys are still trying to catch up. It’s a shame “but it’s still a Kia” prevented this masterpiece from selling as it deserves, therefore forcing its cancellation. Badge loyalists killed this car long before Kia did.
@@GodsloveMuzik I hate that people are so loyal to a certain brand that they don’t call a spade a spade and admit that Kia stingers are really one of the cars that can get down in a match up with the competition, especially tuned and with small upgrades it’s a monster I seen a few take on hellcats and beat them. But molar guys aren’t trying to hear that. Especially seeing that it’s a v6 vs a beefed up v8
Sam's car wasn't shifting correctly but that stinger sure is worth the Bang For The Money
I drive a 2003 Ford crown Victoria that I have built and I’m always getting looked at like I’m slow until im gapping. And it’s just 4.6 2v with cam intake injecters TB cold air intake headers cat back tune and 373 gears . Runs a 13.6 not fast but man it’s fun . Love the scat
Daytona boy here 🫡
The Stinger continues to shock me in these videos, mainly bc it's consistently keeping up with cars that (at least according to magazine test specs) run a half second and ~5mph quicker through the quarter mile. We're sure this Stinger is completely stock, right?
Man it’s because the other cars use a 1ft rollout and ideal temperatures and surface conditions. Not outright Lying but it’s always deceiving in a way/shape/form of a manufacturer makes a claim about their own vehicle.
When you compare powers of the cars Kia do good job there even if came last
The Stinger continues to impress
We saw what that camera person did at 1 min 40.. Efforts didn't go unnoticed... 🔥
I have the latest 3.3 2023GT twin turbo Stinger and love it, I traded my 3.3 twin turbo 2018 stinger for it because I find it to be the perfect car for my needs, I also love the coast mode. Just as another comment I get 7.0 litres per 100 consistently, which for a powerful car is no mean feat. Sadly Kia have decided to discontinue with a winner.
Peter T
Stinger an amazing car
I love that you rev the engines of each car in the beginning
Put some tires on that charger and its gone. When it cant get traction, its no match to AWD.
RIP Stinger. Kia officially discontinued it and no replacement planned.
Move to Genesis G70. I have the G80 Sport..same 3.3 T engine
@@Blue-moon12 I heard they are nice, I also heard they are a fair bit more expensive?
@@brendanallen2468stinger is nice just not worth the money imo
@@brendanallen2468i have a 392
The stinger is being replaced by the EV6 as Kia’s new Halo car, they are pushing electric cars like most other car manufacturers.
Pity they didn’t make an electric Stinger may have been a good proposition.
Still Mopar‼️💪🏾
Once the tires are warm, the gloves are out. German gets whipped by Kimchi sauce. 😅😜
Mopar is king👑
Nah Kia fs😂
Were we watching the same video? Lol
@ChikatyChina Mopar reeling everything in. If you can get the 6.4 to hook its a contender.
Good run from the Stinger for having the least HP and torque.
Awd is no joke
The Stingers dyno at 390 tq at the wheels. It’s quite underrated.
The Stinger and the 392 is the sexiest out of 3! Looks good performs awesome! In terms of sound gotta give props to Daytona! But the Mercedes 😂 why they keep getting round and round every year? Might as well put 4 wheels on an egg
MB and BMW designs are crap nowadays, shame really as they used to be the best.
@@IRaoulDuke I gotta disagree with you on BMW though… I find the new M series pretty good looking. Just my humble opinion
@abul hashem Well at least there are killing it in the performance department
Nope the CLS in person looks way better than both of these shitboxes
@@zaid9988 you're obviously a brand fanboy from what you just typed. so, your opinion doesn't matter cuz you'll always choose your brand regardless of their cars' appearances. Me being nonpartial of brands in terms of appearances, i'll say stinger's the sexiest. next cls and last charger.
The benz looked Iike a camera car on those roll races 😳. Dang, You sure that stinger is stock? Haha I'm not really a dodge fan but I figured the scat would at least pull off the roll races. Good job Kia I guess 👍
Can’t be lol, but Ik for sure modded stingers go crazy seen a few beat 392 chargers and 10 speed mustangs
@@swifitly-6149 100% stock. Other than some exterior mods.
@Swifitly - 100 percent stock man. Im tuned and I pull buses on scats from a dig.
Farzad and Xavier are GOATS
Ok one question sam can we get the g70 in here more in the stinger have the same engine but two different company work of these cars
Guess I'm a little surprised the stinger was ahead of the amg but the stinger is almost 400lbs lighter...
The only car that seems completely stock here is the amg . Who puts their ig name on a stock Kia??? Probably has that cheap amazing $1000 tune
Love me some Stinger!!!
How can you compare a AWD to RWD car you can't ! + That 392 looked like it had 4 piston brakes up front that comes with a 245 tire not even the 275 ? 🤔
4 piston all around, but 275 tire. You can opt for 6 piston when building your Daytona.
Just got a smokin deal on my Stinger 2019 GT1. ..better jump on them now. They just announced the end of production in 2023 😫
392 all day ever day
For the stinger being there for the race I actually like it more. Wow 👌🏾
Finally someone who can launch a charger 💪....... Nevermind
I don't get how the Stinger kept pulling after the first 60ft being even with the AMG when the AMG is much more powerful.
The 392 is no slouch. Just needs more traction from a dig. Mopar or no-car. Dodge has things right
This makes me wanna get a charger again. Just scared it would be stolen 1st week
Charger is a beast
Those "skimmed" AMGs are pointless at least when compared to the" light " M cars from BMW, I'm an AMG fan by the way.
An M550i x drive would demolish all 3 of them, it'll keep up with a hellcat even .
Yeah this is unfortunately very true. The 53’s and 43’s are absolutely not performance cars by any stretch
Every car this man drives loses no way a 53 losing to a stinger or scat pacc is the car even in sports plus
If you fully fulky tuned the stinger to its fullest potential its beating the 550i but maybe m5

Great video 🔥 I would love to see more RWD stinger instead of awd
I agree, don't need AWD, a liability on the Stinger!
@@cindykeselowski899 yesss I just don’t like knowing that everytime there’s a roll that the awd is going to lose everytime
My understanding is that the RWD isn't available in Canada so sadly we won't see it on this channel. I really want to see a RWD GT vs an AWD GT1 or GT2. The RWD GT has a solid weight advantage on the AWD, GT1, and GT2.
Scat need some tires but that stinger held it down
It had upgraded tires on it already 👍🏾
@@baybreederbayarea510 he was still spinning. If they gonna do digs they gotta hook right.
Just simply quoting what they said in the video
Hands down no question charger looks the best!
😂
100%
The Kia did something so profound with the Stinger. The engineering that went into the motor and transmission to help it keep up with cars that would normally outclass it is AMAZING! I only wish the stupid dealers wouldn't have marked up the MSRP for the stingers $10-15k. They could have been a new staple for Kia.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say the Stinger is ECU tuned, because those run mid to high 11’s, but I would be willing to bet this Stinger is running a piggyback. That is my take having owned one for over 2 years.
That MERC driver is no bueno 😂
the sound of HEMI doesn't get old..
Would be fun to see jb4 stinger on the channel 👍🏼
CLA45s will spank all of them, easily. 503hp with the Renntech tune, launch control, awd, lightweight. Mine runs the quarter under 10s.
The fact that the Battery in the Mercedes for the high bird was done after one race lol.
Picked up a G70 3.3T this year and it's surprisingly quick. Especially since it's about 300lbs lighter than the stinger. Kia will DC the stinger after 2023 but the G70 will continue.
Kia said it before, The power to surprise !
imagine what it will do with a downpipe and a tune !
