I'm extremely happy with my Stinger GTS. It's the best car I've ever owned
GTS is amazing 🤩 I believe they put a LSD in those here in the states. I’m jelly 😎
@Mark Munn 👊👊😎
I guess I'm the old dude in the room.
April 2019, I purchased a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T.
As the old dude✌, my Genesis G70 is my personal vehicle. I have an SUV and a large sedan if I need to carry passengers or cargo.
Currently I have over 69K miles on my G70. So far, no problems. Only scheduled maintenance and replace a set Michelin Pilot Sport 4.
Comfort and sport mode are as different as night and day.
My kids are adults, so I didn't need the trunk space or rear passenger space .
I love both Korean vehicles! Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching young people in their Kia Stinger Gt!
Thank you! I still want to drive the G70 and make a vid on it. You are 100% right about the sport mode with these platforms, she really wakes up!
Good videos man! Keep 'em coming!
We just put two Stingers in our garage. Mine's the '22 Ascot Green GT2 and my wife's is the '22 Ceramic Silver GT2 Scorpion. We LOVE how the garage looks now! Starting the mods on mine. Have CAIs in with exhaust, FMIC, OCC, and JB4/plugs on the way. Your vids are the reason I'm going MBRP.
Great choice of mods and exhaust, the MBRP will blow you away in person. I try to capture it the best I can, but it’s much deeper in person and perfect for daily. I got some really good stuff coming up on the horizon.
You should of gotten a stinger and a genesis g70 just to switch it up
@@andrez1142 That would have been very cool. We just love the styling of the Stinger more than the Genesis. More aggressive and tougher-looking.
@@andrez1142 I need to get a G70 on the channel and drive it. I think it would be a cool comparison since I’m so use to my car now.
@@twn2rbo turo
We bought a 2019 StingerGT2 AWD 3.3L last April - and it never fails to put a grin on my 57yr old face. Stock, no mods...no intentions of modding (too old for that, lol). I've owned a lot of vehicles over the years and hands-down the Stinger is the cream of the crop.
Very nice! The Stinger is an amazing car and wears a lot of hats. 3.3TT has plenty of power the way it is, I agree - nice choice 👍
Before the Kia what was your best car Sr?
@@oscarguevara5556 best car was a 2017 Lexus GS350 F sport I would say. Fastest, FBO IS350 w tune. Stinger is faster though bc they were rear wheel drive
Never to old sir never to old.
@@oscarguevara5556 Saying which is best is kind've difficult. Favorite was a '79 Ford f100 stepside custom pickup I had in the 80s. Best car as far as reliability/design/looks/etc. would've been the 2011 Optima EX I traded for the Stinger.
nice, I love seeing Stinger GT appreciation. I was so happy when I took delivery of mine in late August. driving it is just such a joy and its just a nice place to be.
It’s my favorite car to date, it gets a lot of love and attention as I’m sure you know! 👊
Every time I look at my stinger it puts a smile on my face.
It’s been a great car!
It’s a very great inspiration seeing two intelligible intelligent fine young men get along very positively. Thanks guys, that’s so much more important than all the cars in the world.
💯💯💯 yes, he has become a good friend of mine, great dude!
I have a Kia stinger GT1, I absolutely fell in love with it the AWD the way it handles the steep turns heaven, the sound system amazing, all around sexy car!!
Agree! 👊
If I could actually afford a Stinger I'd have one now. Always thought that it was/is a great gt/touring car.
Oh yeah, especially for the money - it’s very affordable
Stay on the look once the market comes down. I got my 2018 Gt2 back in January with 300 miles for 36k.
Stay positive and keep your mind on your goals - anything is possible 💯
I've had mine since the end of August, and yeah, absolutely worth it. I love it (Snow Pearl white w/ red interior)
I bought a Type S and there’s some shit that I feel is mixing for the damn money I paid.
RED interior is the best 👌 I have a 2022 GT2 AWD CERAMIC Silver red Interior fully modded already. Loving it best car I've personally owned
Man I feel the same way. This is the only car I’ve had where I love it the same 1 year later. The new car vibe wears off faster usually , but this thing is so fun to drive, esp with the mods. I thought of that yesterday at the dealer too when they were driving it around the corner and I saw it crawling though the parking lot, such a beautiful car!
What mods did you do?
@@seancbrink if you are asking me, th-cam.com/video/CYyQ73SmapY/w-d-xo.html I didn’t mention the oil catch can, but I would do that first.
I like my 2021 GT1 so much, I'm leaving it stock. Mod your hearts out young people, lol!
It’s a beautiful car stock too!
Don’t forget it was designed by an ex Audi designer and engineered and tuned by Albert Biermann, the former head of BMWs M Sport Division. It’s basically a German designed and engineered car built in Korea.
Absolutely! Yeah I told him that when we first met, that would have been a good first reaction though. He does agree that there is major German influence 👊
ever since the koreans brain draining the europe their cars got a lot bettee
I traded my 2018 stinger premium for a 2022 Stinger Scorpion edition. Absolutely love it. Expensive but it’s worth every dime. You still get more bang for your buck in terms of package and goodies that it comes with it.
Scorpion is sickkkkk 🔥🔥🔥. Nice 👍
I think scorpion edition might be the one to keep for awhile because its value may go up
@@420hansol oh yeah it will the most, I think all the stingers will go up if or when they axe it. The market is crazy right now, I can get more than what I paid for it which is a first for me!
How do you like the Scorpion ? Does it get a lot of attention?
@@REALJayDOTWill mine is a GT , but I do love the scorpion edition Stingers. Regardless, this car gets a TON of attention wherever I go, esp at the gas stations and cars and coffee. Always good conversations. A lot of people still don’t know what it is lol and are shocked when I say it’s a Kia
I absolutely LOVE my '22 GT2. I had to drive 1.5 hrs to get one in red leather. Worth it on every level. The HUD and side cameras have completely spoiled me.
Love the red leather, done so well
@@twn2rbo agreed wish i could of got red leather but acosta green paint. Couldnt be happier this car is amazing. 22 gt2 owner
We grabbed one the day it hit the lot and had to have it delivered because it was 800 miles away 😂 was one of the only black on black Kia’s stinger in America
Did not like the red interior and glad that one sold before we got to the dealer. lmao. We bought the Micro Blue with the beige interior that only made it to the lot the day before. it wasn't even ready for the lot or in their system yet. Snatched it up! have only had it going on a week but love it!
I love how they just clicked….nice video bro
For sure bro 👊 yeah that was our first time ever hanging too, good times
My favorite part of sport mode is how it changes the feel of the steering. Feels heavier and tighter
Yeah man for sure, I want to get that model on my channel and drive it to compare. I have the base GT for $43K. That would be so sick , bc I agree, sport mode wakes this beast up.
In My Audi, Sport mode delimits the wheel turning radius and makes it more fluid, I can take steep corners at higher speed and it also helps that the rear wheels turn at a 5 degree angle in the direction of the front tires. Stinger is just a cheap attempt at the Audi 7 series.
@@nonamenoname4641 Audi is definitely a higher caliber car with more tech. The price is obvious in that regard. This car was only $43K. Not as nice as my Lexus’s in terms of quality, but performance to price ratio : good value.
Is there anything that Kia has not stolen from AUdi ? They stole their chief designer and engineers as well and the BMW lead engineer.
Blasphemy! Stinger over G70. LOL - Both are awesome. Love your Stinger!
I would definitely get a 2022 launch edition g70 that matt gray color...but im going towards the 2022 kia stinger scorpion gt2 in the gray with the red interior in few months
@@samuelreid603 Awesome! You'll love the car
As a BMW owner, this is more or less the only other car I would consider, but mostly because I can't afford an M3 lol. I have spent 15 years driving manuals and I would prefer a manual. I am currently driving an e90 330xi, and that ZF transmission is really slow. Still it is 15 year old tech, so I'm guessing the newer automatics are way better. Anyway, good video man, keep it up!
Good stuff bro! Keep up that grind and positive mindset and you’ll hit it one day. M3 is sick and would be a good goal!
Coming from a kia stinger indigo edition owner. I LOVE this car! Go kia
i bet the look on his face when you attempted to show him how the turnsignals work...was priceless!
😂
Dunno how I ended up here,
Own a 2022 M3 Comp Xdrive, if you think the 2021 comp RWD is insane, you should see the xdrive version.
I have down 0 to 60 in 3.1 bone stock. I'm running Jb4, downpipes, and a midpipe right now. I'm adding intakes and e40 soon. I've already been 10.6 with a passenger lol.
Damn! That's seriously quick. I love my 15 RCF, but I still miss my FBO F10 535i that I sold a little over a year ago. Before I bought my RCF I was checking out the F80 ///Ms, but ultimately decided to go with the Lexus.
Lol well thanks for watching bro! That was my first M experience and I totally see how you guys get hooked on them. My stinger is AWD and I’ve always been more of a dig person, I could only imagine if his was xdrive too. 3.1 is sick! After I do my TCU tune I’ll be at 3.5 which isn’t bad considering it’s a 4100 slugger with a car seat in the back 😂
I owned 3 Lexus’s prior to this car, Lexus is #1 to me, still to this day. They are over engineered perfection regarding quality and reliability. They just have a such a solid feel. I had a IS350 and GS350 F sport, I always wanted the ISF, and I have my eyes on that IS500. Nothing will ever compare to that 5.0 NA v8, esp with an exhaust on it. Love the RC-F, you made a good choice
@@twn2rbo i have a GT2 Ceramic Silver w/ red interior and a few mods aesthetic wise. All badges replaced, inside and out and matte black wrap on tiny detailing that made such huge difference in the look of the car. As a past three time 3 series BMW owner, as well as an Infiniti G35 Coupe. I can't believe I'm about to this, but I LOVE my "KIA" Stinger GT2!!! I find myself making up reasons to drive now, it's like therapy. And I've watched people pretty much stand on their heads trying to figure out what it is lol, I've only had it about 3 weeks, and so far I've heard everything from a Mustang, to a Porsche, to "some kind of new Jag"????. When i tell em "it's a Kia"...the expressions i get crack me up I just wanna commend you for always keeping it positive when you come across the occasional hater, keep up the good work✌
Amazing channel, I was considering Cupra Leon and was only thinking about Stinger, but after watching every video on this channel, I am changing wallpaper into Stinger ! :)
Thank you bro 🙏 much more to come 😀
This shit so funny because when I was younger in the 90s I was always trying to get a big body 4 door to go fast everyone said it was a waste of money lol look at the car industry now 🤣
True! 🤣
Brother I'm telling you that you should go check out the G70 too. I love mine! It definitely feels different than the Stinger. I'd be super interested your thoughts.
Sounds like a plan! They have a sick dealership here in Indianapolis too. If there is some decent dry weather around the corner I’ll see what I can do.
As a 2022 G70 owner, I agree with you. They are both fun cars to drive. I love my G70!😃
@@purplelexus5399 I love the interior, so luxurious and sporty at the same time , plus I think they are lighter weight compared to the Stinger and come with a LSD in the rear end
@@twn2rbo Yes, the G70 is lighter, and all the 3.3T RWD models have LSD. As for the Stinger, I like the exterior, but the G70’s interior is what caught my eye. Great video BTW. 🙂
i love this video ! nothing better than two enthusiasts coming together
Ol' mate has clearly never driven a tuned powerful sedan with AWD. I've owned a Toyota Soarer with a VVT-i 1JZ and I was always aware of how traction is a limiting factor. Once late night I was tired and in the rain I made a mistake: turbo kicked in, rears lost traction and car spun out. I think the M3 owner just fell in love with utter security and planted feel of the AWD.
Kia , Hyundai, Genesis is killing it, just bought a Telluride SX and love it. And I have owned everything from a Hyundai, Honda, Corvette Z06, Infiniti to a
Mercedes E550.
Agree! I like the blacked out Telluride , the headlights always catch my eye. I’m with ya on the range of cars, I’ve had Lexus’s, Honda, Toyota, Acura, a Jeep and mustang.
Just bought the 19’ gt1 at 23.. to say dreams is an understatement
I’m happy for you. This car really grows on you. I love to drive mine every chance I get, so thankful.
I mean any BMW owner should be impressed. The lead engineer from BMW, Albert Biermann came from BMW to develope the Lambda 2 engine platform for Hyundai motor group👍
Yes! 100% true and I can tell, this engine loves to be tuned 😀
@@twn2rbo That's so awesome and good to hear. My JB4 full kit with plugs, intake the whole thing, just shipped today and will get it in a couple days.
One thing that is going to be different is this is for a 2018 Genesis G80 sport 3.3T to which I have seen no one put the JB4 on it.
There is maybe one or two vids but are incomplete or have no follow up and lack the the specific dialogue you videos have
After I receive mine I am going to do vids as well as follow ups to the best of my ability as I can't be the only one curious with this tuner on a G80 platform.
Can't wait to see how it does. As it is to me the G80 already feels quick stock and that's coming from my single turbo 95 Supra 6spd😎👌
@@SupraNaturalTT man that’s awesome! The 3.3tt should be the same layout. Keep me posted on that, esp if you do content . as soon as I get a chance I’m going to make vids on making vids and my process of editing step by step
My stock front splitter on my 2019 GT2 almost ripped off @175 mph. Not sure if Kia tested them over their limited 167mph but now anything over 150 and that splitter starts separating from the front bumper cover. Still no regrets after 2 years tho.
Yooo what??? 175? Bro that's insane man!
Yoo dope video nothing like two car enthusiast coming together and respecting each other's cars..
💯
🙏 🙌
I like the man in the driver's seat and his opinions. Respect bro.
i got a 2018 kia stinger premium and hes right! put it in sport mode and HOLY SHIT!
Brooo IKR, a lot of cars I had with sport mode have nothing on this one! Turns into a whole new animal
Telling an M3 owner I'm going to put in comfort mode so you can get use to it lol! ( If you have an M3 you know how nice this guy was being)
🤣 IKR , I was more less wanting him to see the dramatic difference between comfort and sport. It’s insane
my dream car, i mean i would love an Aston Martin or a Lotus but daaaamn a Stinger with that BMW wrap maybe in green or orange... SICK AF the best thing about Stinger is a lot of people thinks is not that great and the purchase of a used one is relatively cheap that you got a bargain for a diamond
Facts man, I think the Ascot green with a PPF wrap like Zo has on his M3 would be sick, have you ever seen that color on the Stinger? It’s a new on they started in 2022.
This was a dope video and shows the bond we can have as enthusiasts! This one made me a subscriber! Last Sunday one of my dreams came true.... I was able to purchase a used 2020 Stinger GT Indigo Edition. I was initially going for a GT-Line and some how some way..it happened.....very thankful. Thanks for inspiration 🙏
What a great comment man! Thank you so much, yeah 100% agree love how cars bring people together - this was our first meet up hanging out and felt like we’ve been bros for a minute 👊👊
Crazy thing about the used market for the stinger in Canada right now is insane, you can find a 2018 with 35,000KM for $35k CAD
It is insane here too! I can sell mine for $3k over what I paid for it, unless they find out it was tuned etc.
I have a 2020 stinger GT limited in 🇨🇦 and it's an amazing car. Best value for money in that segment. One thing bro, The center console it's not aluminum. The only thing that made of aluminum is the speaker covers. 😁
Yeah another subscriber mentioned that, seems like it is how it dents and nics so easy and when feeling the materials it’s colder than the plastic counter parts. If it’s not, they fooled me on that piece! 👊
@@twn2rbo i think only genesis uses aluminum trims at their G80 GV70 GV80 and maybe the G70. My boss have the GV70 sport + and it's all real materials.
@@avis1978 yeah I still need to drive on of those, may make a good vid. I’m going to have to buy a metal detector now 😂
@@twn2rbo 😃... The GV70 drives really nice. Take care .
I bought a 2022 GT2 and it's the best car I've ever driven.
Difference between BMW is no high maintenance special mechanical equipment for M cars!
Love these type of Videos! Genuine reactions!
Thanks bro! Yeah it was so cool, this was us meeting up for the first time and just free-styled it for 3 hrs. Lol that was the hardest part getting that much footage down to 20-30 mins.
I have stinger gt1 rear wheel drive ,I removed the spare tyre and all stuff related I floor it sometimes when its tank has little fuel in it
It is damn fast 😳
That it is! I remove my spare and subs from time to time. Just be careful on running it hard on low fuel, the gas helps cool the fuel pump and when it’s low on fuel it can be hard on it and make it wear out faster 👊👊👊. We all do it from time to time lol
Glad I took the time today to test drive the new GT2. Car is very comfortable and quick! Been on my radar for some time but know it’s between the Chevy SS and Scatpack Widebody. I just wish prices would settle a bit!
I was also very surprised on the test drive, esp how they engineered sport mode to wake this thing up. Intakes, exhaust and tune REALLY wake this thing up! I’m with you on the prices, crazy times!
I’m in the same situation as you lmao these 3 cars are hard to choose from can’t beat mod capability on the ss/Kia but also the chargers mean ass look is tempting lmao
@@juan_f150 yeah a V8 RWD is a blast man, nothing like it. But the twin turbos on this screammm.
@@twn2rbo what would you recommend for a daily ? I’m going to be tuning both what would be faster ? And what feels torquier to you ?
@@juan_f150 kinda just depends, but the Stinger has some really low down torque similar to a V8, but with some bolt ons and a tune you will beat Scatpacks all day. Then next thing would be reliability, I may be a little biased but the Stinger has forged internals and both the engine and trans can take 800 hp, warranty would be out of the question for all if you are caught modding them, but the Stinger has 100k. The last thing I would think about is just how common scat packs are, which is why I went with the Stinger, it’s like the ultimate trolling car 😂 V8s sound bad ass though and the Chevy LS is pretty bullet proof. If it were me I’d go Stinger but I’m a little biased there
8:00 ... "Yeah, yeah" LMAO!
I really like the Stinger GT. My only real concern is the power. I'm used to a tuned Audi S6, which has an insane amount of power. I know the Stinger has decent power. If anyone reading this can compare from experience between a tuned S6 and a Stinger, I'd love to hear. I've never been in a Stinger and am not yet in the market so haven't gone to drive one. With a second kid on the way, the hatch would be a welcome addition.
So I will start with saying I love Audi and their design team, always have. The Germans have horsepower to liter ratios mastered. The S6 is a 2.9 liter with 444hp at the crank and the stinger Gt is 3.3 with 368.
With that said though, some things to keep in mind. 444 isn’t wheel hp and the S6 is a heavier car, stock is probably like 320 to wheels.
Base GT like mine is only $43K and maxed out is around $56k. Compared to the S6 which is probably double. With only a couple grand of mods and a piggy back tune on the Stinger, you will be at 420 to wheels, which is over 500hp.
Also, it’s no secret when it comes to maintenance and repair costs of which one is going to be more in the long run.
The tough part is comparing Audi to KIA. I’m sure the service dept is miles ahead regarding customer experience. Audi also has a brand prestige that makes people feel proud to drive. Coming from 3 Lexus’s in a row, that was a tough one for me to get over , but the test drive got me. Reminded me a lot of my GS350 F Sport until he put it in sport mode and the German engineering took over. The stinger was designed by Albert Biermann who designed a lot of the BMW M cars along with help from prior design executive from Audi / VW Peter Schreyer.
Great question though, that would be tough to answer, I think you just need to go for a test drive! 👊
@@twn2rbo I have the 4.0t with a tune. Car is pushing about 565hp and 630 ft/lbs on this tune. This is why I am concerned about the power difference. I would likely want to keep factory warranty in place if I made the switch so not sure if I'd be tuning it. I am not a brand snob. I always loved the way Audis drive and their interior which is why I was drawn to them. I drive my cars for me so definitely not concerned what other think. That said, the Kia naysayers are played out and annoying. I'm not sure there is another brand outside of the Hyundai group that has made such huge strides in style and performance over the last few decades. They've reinvented themselves and people should be proud to drive them and not be made to feel inferior and have to listen to "it's nice but it's just a Kia". They are completely trouncing every other manufacturer in styling, and by a good margin in my honest opinion.
@@LetsDIYIt I couldn’t agree any more bro! This is the best car I’ve ever owned. Usually that feeling goes away after 3-4 months of a new car then I mod it a little and still end up with something else eventually.
I still feel the same way I did on day one. I get so excited to drive this thing. I work from home and still manage to put 1k month on it almost.
I mainly got it to be different from the mainstream and it’s a disruptive car that sparks more positive attention and conversation when comparing it to the trollers. Every stop light I swear, peoples face are priceless trying to figure out what it is. I’ve had two gas station experiences asking it if was “that new Porsche Panamera” lol.
@@twn2rbo I know the feeling. I have two cars that I look for excuses to drive. And I feel the same way about the S6 that you do about the Stinger. Best car I've owned. That said, it's an expensive car to maintain for sure. I love seeing Stingers on the road. They're are quite rare. I love both the Nardo Grey and the Blue (blue is stunning on a Stinger).
@@LetsDIYIt yeah the Ceramic Silver (nardo) is my favorite one. Those can be hard to find
Love the look and size of the stinger. I have 18” S4 stage 1 430/570 with lots of other drivetrain goodies. Come time to get another car I’ll definitely consider this for it’s tunability and size. SUb’d I appreciate the content.
That’s awesome Lee! That’s a great car to compare to honestly, but yeah the tunability and cost of ownership it’s amazing, so is the AWD system! Love how it has a hatch with folding seats as well
That's a BMW owner that appreciates "cars" period. Not like my cousin who owns and leases 5-series and doesn't miss a chance to shit on my Stinger or for me getting a Stinger.
IKR, dude I met this guy when I was filming my car with my girl one day. He was with a few people taking photos. He came over and was super humble and we started talking cars. 2 months later we met up and did this vid. We were supposed to do some digs and pulls but the weather turned to shit that day and it ended up in 2 mini review vids. He is def a open minded car enthusiast, not the typical “BMW guy”.
@@twn2rbo That's a humble dude for sure, I liked how he highlighted the plus points of the Stinger and he wouldn't mind owning one. Man, I got blasted by my cousin in front of his friends for paying "$50k for a KIA"
Weird flex for a dude nearing 40. Told him I would drive any BMW he buys me lol.
BTW, excellent production quality here. Looking forward to your future vids and that beast M3 with your Stinger dig (weather permitting)
@@hyedefinition1080 do your thing man! Stinger is a nice car regardless. I just got ahold of Zo and we have a pretty fun idea for our next meet 👊👊
That’s lame 😒 - a good car is a good car period - and the Stinger is a Good Car!
Yes like every car brand Kia has a few things they’re needing to still address/workout with the Stinger but what car brand doesn’t?! 😆
Stinger GT is fast enough and also practical
Solid video, very nice car. It seemed a little erratic how you switched between the color filters in the editing though.
I appreciate it! Oh yeah, I got a new iphone13 pro max and was trying some new filters out in post editing. I prob just looked over it, still a noob 😂 thank you though 🙏
LOVING my ‘22 GT2 AWD!
The Stinger always looked nice, but that T shaped gear lever that some North America versions got is simply horrendous.
that is only on GT and GT1, the GT2 has a far better looking electronic gear shifter.
I have a GT2 and my gear shifter literally fits in my hand like there was a mold of my hand taken! When I'm driving that's where my hand sits Lol i noticed the shifter too. I'm guessing he has a GT or GT1 maybe? Not sure
I race this rs3 full on at the traffic light with my passenger and he was by himself.i was surprised my stinger gt managed to beat it by half car length considered so much weight on my car.seriously most european badge snob cars are unreliable I had one before they are expensive to maintain constantly having problems and other issues.
Louvers on the mirrors are most likely for wind buffeting.
Great video! Kia should be sending you stacks.
lol the right side is full clear to drive x)
i swear if your next vid doesnt have the tcu tune. Im going to Indiana myself and installing one in your car before you wake up.
It’s coming, I promise and so is the FMIC. I am waiting for TH-cam to help me out a little more since I’ve had a lot of business expenses lately. I am also thinking of printing my new logo on some t shirts to help towards the TCU. Oh and I just got engaged! 👊👊

I wish I could afford one of these, I have a Forte Koup R its fun has a mean exaust sound handles great but this is way faster and swankier.
Time to set a goal for yourself! Right now car prices are insane, but they bubble will eventually burst and you can find one for a decent price
Update I bought an orange one used , GT 2 Limited, love it. Thanks for the love.
I just traded in my stinger gt2. I had it since 2018 was a great car. I had no complaints with the car besides the cabin is pretty loud with road noise. I want a fast electric car in the next three years or so.
Agree
Makes me want to buy one right now.
It’s been 18 months and I still love it
These are big brash and cool AF
Is this the awd or rwd model?
Thinking of getting one but unfortunately in the UK they only sell the RWD model 3.3l v6.
Yes, mine is the base GT AWD
1/2 price m3 twice the warranty
I bought a 2021 Kia Forte GT w/ the GT2 package a couple of months ago. I would've gotten a Stinger if I had some more money saved up, but I like some of the Stinger inspired styling in my car and how the Forte GT pulls like its nothing. How's the support with the JB4? I'm looking into getting a JB4 soon and get an extra 30-50 whp, but I kind of want to keep it stock for a while too.
Trade it in for a stinger later... you'll still have fun in that forte GT, especially with a JB4!!
@@XAMPOL What do you think about the Rev6 or EK1 Pro from SXTH Element? I looked them up and they aren’t really too far away to do a weekend tune and dyno possibly. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve owned two Stingers and now a M2C, u can’t compare the two.
hey! i was wondering what specific phone holding mount you use? it fits so well with your stinger!
It was made by ProClip, but it got discontinued. They sent me this new one and I’m about to end the giveaway if interested. th-cam.com/video/Qp42wId-HgE/w-d-xo.html the new one is in a better spot for reach ability and is more sturdy, but I do like the location of the old one.
Very interesting in Terms of comparison.. I really would like to know how sharp and direct this Stinger really is. I know that the M3/M4 is really very sharp. Am I understanding this correct that the Stinger is even sharper and faster Steering?? Kidding?
Well this was a freestyle video, this was our first time hanging out and really we were just checking out each other’s rides. In terms of comparison though, the M3 is a level about on suspension, steering and performance for sure. The Stinger wears more hats though, it can be a luxury sport cruiser in comfort mode and sport mode, a German like performance animal wakes up. I think the Stinger would need to weigh less, be an inch lower and have a couple suspension mods to be on the same level. The Stinger GT1/GT2 will tighten up the suspension in sport mode, but the base like mine will not.
He is overall very impressed for its price proposition
@@twn2rbo Thanks for the detailed Info 👍🏼 Good to know. I would really like to see more comparisons with other Cars.. Like for instance NISSAN GTR compared to the M3 /M4. But in a detailed way . Steering sharpness of Center Suspension and so on. I Love it when a Car Turns in Ultra sharp and has a Stiff Chassis like an Ferrari F12. And I am trying to find my ideal Car that I can afford that has this Characteristics. As a Sports Coupe like M4 or GTR or Limousine like M5 / RS6.
@@larshartmann609 Thanks for the info, I will keep this in mind going forward. I absolutely love the GT-R. I have that or an RS-5 / Porsche GT3 RS as goal cars for this channel.
@@twn2rbo Very nice.. 👌🏼 With which Car can you Compare the Stinger 3.3 most in driving Dynamics? Steering and so on.
That BMW is so beautiful.
What to replace my stock exhaust, please best recommendation
While I remain adamant that BMW is better than this. Having driven f80s and I own a B58.
But i respect the Kia Stinger. Its a solid car
Lines on mirrors most likely for noise
That scanner you have near your back mirror, what is it?
What part of Indy are you from? Stinger owner from the east side. Always looking to meet up with others around
Send me a message on IG, there’s a couple more wanting to do the same and I would like to organize a group stinger photo to rep the Midwest
Should've had him try launch control.
I’m working on it lol 😂 but he is legit afraid it will destroy the trans.
After watching this video I just have one question. Is your Stinger AWD?
Yes 👍
Not sure I Agee with the g70 comparison. It's the same engine with better interior.
VW inspired? When VW have round air vents/pop infotainment screen?
A design engineer from Audi helped, so def some German influence in that area 100%
What is the meaning E instead of the Kia Logo?
Only the United States uses Kia logo on stinger. The Stinger comes with E badge from factory in S Korea. It’s the official badge of the Stinger, but E stands for “Engineering of Excellence “
Indianapolis ayyy! Let’s go!
So you’re running map 4 now? How is that? I get my jb4 and pnp fuel wires today super excited to see what this car is about being my previous car was a 2016 Holden Chevy ss that was fbo and cammed. Love the videos man!
It’s great! I set my boost limit at 25 and it hit 24.7 a couple times, I don’t do it often. My fav map out of all is map 3. I just ordered the PNP and EWG connectors and will be doing a couple of separate install vids on them.
@@twn2rbo nice nice! Yeah I ordered the ewg wires as well but after doing more research it seems like they aren’t needed until you run hfp so replace stock primary downpipes.. but I may be wrong. I plan on running map2 all the time and only map3 or 4 if I go out for some digs or roll racing
Yet driving the 4 Cyl model. Check the gear knob
3.3TT, watch my other videos. This is a base GT, not a GT-Line. 👊
I wanna see this on MRR VP3 rims
Love my stinger 😊
how many hp does your tune give you? Just got a kia stinger 2018 and i love it so far
The JB4 with bolt ons in map 3 are around 420 wheel hp I believe. When I added my Lozic tune I was close to 500awhp
I got a 2012 5.0 genesis and I was considering trading for a gt2 for a while
I agree it's BIG, yet every reviewer calls is a compact. What is going on? LoL
Lol, I’m 6.1” and my bro is 6.7” and we both have a ton of room in it. I think it feels bigger than my Lexus GS350. Have you ever put the seat all the way back while sitting in it? I’ve never had a car where the gas pedals are that far away 😂
He fails to say the M3 has less than 290ftlbs of torque
What model is that all black BMW in the beginning of the video?
That’s a 2017 M440i xdrive. I just met him that day. He said he is ECU stage 2 with downs . We had to take off, but I was following him and that thing is pretty fast, we will get some rolls and digs in when the weather permits, mid west blows right now, cold and wet a lot
Is your stinger stock under the hood?
th-cam.com/video/CYyQ73SmapY/w-d-xo.html
Is this car a 2018 model gt2 class?
It's not even real aluminum haha I've owned two stinger but ey they had you tricked I guess lol, Just gotta be carefull it's gets scratches just as easy as any other plastic.
Yeah it dents really easy, def has me fooled to the point I need to metal test it 😆
Some one is on the kia payroll. The stringer is a good car and all but I'd anyday prefer a M3/5 or an AMG.
Perhaps KIA should be paying me lol, but yeah we really were not in a mindset of comparison. We just met and seen each other’s cars one day and were admiring them. This was just a 3 hr freestyle 😀. The M3 G80 is definitely a superior performance sedan no doubt, but it also 2x the price
Exactly! I can't stand when people say, "well the such and such car is way better." Well no shit you're comparing a $45,000 car to $75,000 car, lmao!!
What do you tell a hot chick come for a ride in my KIA ha ha 😂🤣😅😆🤔🙂😂🤣
Is this a base GT-Line? I noticed the small screen???
No it’s a base 21 GT AWD, the new screen came in 2022. They announced the refresh 2 months after I bought mine 😂 but I can do a swap for that same screen, it looks 10x better
❤👍KIA👍❤
I'm pretty sure that center console area is NOT real aluminum actually. It's just well disguised plastic. The only real aluminum pieces are the speaker grills/door handle area (NOT including the handle you pull the door shut with.
I could be wrong. But, that piece is only like $300... and I think I heard early on from a pro reviewer, Kia themselves say that is faux.
Hmmm I think it’s thin aluminum, it dents very easy and is cold to the touch, vs the plastic pieces are warmer. Just an observation but I could be wrong. Plastic is a little less prone to dents it seems. I always noticed metal feels much cooler compared to plastic however, the handle plate that looks like aluminum is 100% plastic as well as the inside door lever, but the piece where tweeter speaker is, that is also metal, I can tell by the temp. I just went in the garage to feel and there is a major difference right now. I’ve been wrong before but that seems to be thinnnn aluminum
@@twn2rbo I'm not certain myself. I KNOW that some pieces in the Stinger are faux aluminum but what I'm not certain of is location. I'm pretty certain that the trim piece along the dash and the infotainment buttons are the color and look of what presumably faux aluminum center console. And I know that the door handle is the same color and look as well but is also plastic. I'm not a metal expert, but I ASSUMED the only real aluminum pieces were the parts that actually felt like metal, thus the door lever and speaker cover areas. The center console doesn't have the COLDNESS of metal. I'm not arguing that it's cool to the touch but metal is COLD cold.
@@devongee1776 yeah not for certain I suppose, I will agree there is some faux metal though. Sucks I’ve been so careful and my GoPro has fallen a couple times and dented my center counsel by the gear shifter already in a couple spots. They are small but drive me insane lol
@@twn2rbo yup. That's the only reason I know that the part costs a bit over $300 because I considered just getting an OEM replacement through my Kia dealer when mine got all dinged up cuz I let some dumb fuck borrow it for a few days
@@devongee1776 ahhh damn bro, that’s rough.
