I have a 2013 Optima SXL and I have beat cars I never thought I would. I don't know if the new K5 has the same deal but with my engine the engineers designed the ecu to be able to take advantage of higher octane and actually adds 10 to 15hp on premium fuel. It's a high compression boosted GDI engine.

[@iforyou]

I like how Sam would mention the mileage on each car prior to the race. It's very important information so people can draw their conclusion when looking at the race (i.e if a car only has a few hundred km/miles on it, the engine may not be operating at its peak performance as it's still in the break-in period and the ECU can be limiting power). Also would love to see how a 330i RWD would fare in this race. I suspect ditching the AWD system won't affect the launch much since it's under 300hp. But the 200lb weight saving and less drivetrain loss may make it harder for the K5 GT to reel it or pull as much as a gap in a roll race.

It's not surprising that KIA doesn't offer AWD in the K5 GT. It's the same pattern as that found in the "high performance" versions of the Camry and the Altima turbo. Only about 5% of all Camrys are fitted with Toyota's V6 300 HP engine. And other manufacturers find much the same take rate for performance versions of their mainstream "family" sedans. It's simply not profitable to offer AWD in such models. On the other hand, as the driver of the K5 noted in the video, it could be fitted with a limited slip differential that would help significantly in putting 300HP and over 300 ft lbs of torque to the pavement in a FWD vehicle. It's one reason that a GTI with an electronic version of a LSD performs and handles so well despite a deficit in HP and Torque compared to other "hot hatches." Fortunately, in the US the GT-Line Stinger with the same engine as the K5 GT in a RWD platform or RWD-biased AWD and a significantly more upscale interior is available at a modest price premium over a fully loaded K5 GT. Unfortunately, that model is not currently available in Canada.

@@nallis01 some of the races don’t make sense, but they’re just races to see how much of a gap they have between each other. This is why he doesn’t post times either. It’s more real world entertainment. You can easily look up their 0-60 or their 1/4 mile times but what’s the fun in that? I think a lot of ppl who enjoy this channel is because they feature rather obtainable cars in which they might have or planning to get and they’re just curious. If I stopped next to a stinger at a red light what would happen? Relatable stuff sir. You understand now ? You’ll definitely see the race you mentioned as well.

[@chiemekaa]

@@nallis01 With BMW sandbagging their numbers, the Q50 Silver Sport surely is comparable with the 330i. The 340i outclasses Silver Sport, and matches the Red Sport. However, I don't think the 340i (320hp) exists anymore as they're all now M340i (with the engine update), at least in the U.S. market. I'm not 100% but I think the same applies to the global market.

how about a heads up race between Forte GT with 1.6t vs K5 with 1.6t

That would be a good race, I seriously think the 1.6t Forte Gt would win (not by much) forte Gt 201hp 195tq K5gt line 180hp 195tq be a very good race either way both cars for the money are built very well multi link suspension and tuneable

[@tofutrader]

Did he put the bmw’s transmission into sport? Cuz the shifts seems slow

[@georgekennedy1886]

Pretty interesting indeed. A 4wd on the Kia would have made it impossible for the BMW to beat in any mode. Kia/Hyundai have been doing some serious work behind the scenes to make their vehicles as good as any when it comes to comfort and performance. In a few years from now theirs is what everyone else will have to beat! I love it :)

[@boost331]

Saw that coming. I agree with the K5 driver that just an LSD would be a huge improvement. AWD with the K5 gt would step on the toes of the big brother (more expensive) stinger. Thats why here in the USA you can only get AWD in the k5 with the smaller weaker engine.

So the accord 2.0 beats the 330i across the line by 2 cars and pulls very similar but the accord loses to the Kia k5?

[@tatoo99999]

100 % agree. i dont believe this channel at all, accord and 330i have about the same 0 to 60, but bmw have better quarter miles numbers, also better top end speed( bmw 155 mph vs 126 mph honda) but some how accord beat it for a land slide... it make not sense, this channel is biased.

[@uncreative_name48]

If you've still got the CT4 with the 2.7L, I'd sure like to see that go against the K5 GT. I assume the CT4 would win, due to sheer power, but, the K5 isn't slow by any means.

I know it’s minor, but I would love to see a rematch but with a 335i xdrive. There was a clear power gap so I think having about 300hp each would make things a bit more interesting.

I heard U.S. is inflating pricing now.. that's just stupid.. just sell full msrp no discounts.. asking more, is Terrible customer relations decision !! Idiots

[@TheRiverPirate13]

We own a BMW 330i X-drive with the M-sport trim. The 2-liter turbo engine has lost of power and it is a fun car to drive. The reality though it lacks the straight line performance from a stand start. If you're already up and going in sport mode at 50-60 mph and floor it, then it accelerates WAY better!

[@dailyrant4068]

@@Hellafast2uDude Are you really that ignorant about cars? Do you not understand cars are more than 0-60? I agree 0-60 is important but if that's all you base a car on then you don't understand how car segments work at an elementary level. My example about Genesis should be a clear cut. Most of time when a mainstream creates a luxury brand and share engines, the luxury version will be slower. Why? the obvious answer is in order to be a luxury car, quietness is much more important. How do you get quietness? You add NVH materials (sound absorbing panels under car). What impact does that have? Added weight, which translates into slower acceleration. If 0-60 was everything, then the "best car" would be a Tesla model S plaid, wouldn't it? Why do people pay $1M+ for Bugatti?
