Coworker has the stinger gts, and I recently bought a 18 pony premium gt (non pp). He gets me on the line with almost too much ease. From a 45 or higher roll I reel him in but he’s right there with me. Mustang sounds amazing, Kia (which he lets me drive) has amazing comfort and room. Do what you want with this information.

[@Forscythe80]

So basically if you're both at a set of lights, and one of the lanes ends soon after the lights, the Stinger will be the one in front before the other land merges into the first lane. :D I've had that in town a few times. A mustang GT tried to use the slip lane to get ahead. Couldn't get in front and had to fall in behind my Stinger. And I've been able to get ahead of the Mustang on the odd time I've been the one on the lane that ends just beyond the lights. That's all that matters in reality. I don't race, I don't drag. But I get in front at the lights. That said if I had the money I'd buy the Mustang as my second car. They're both fucking incredible cars.

@@KP-xi4bj Simple really, as new companies, they have a long hard fought battle against companies that have existed 4 times longer than their whole existence(kia entered the US market in 93) . Market share is everything in business, and gaining some of the market from the "bigger guys" requires every tool in their disposal. In this case increasing the warranty length longer then their competitors is a huge one. I drive a Honda, and let me tell you in my personal experience I have not been impressed even though honda is suppose to be "reliable" I still love my honda. A warranty of 3 years is abysmal, that's why kia/hyundai is gaining in size. Toyota/Honda had a monopoly in some form in their dominance of the market for "reliability", but now more competitive offers are available. Competition is always good, and a win win for the consumer no matter the brand.

What appeals to you and accommodates your lifestyle more? For me, I love the roar of the V8, the pull, the power.. A car you can't wait to step into that never gets boring. The Stinger has a slightly more luxury touch to it and 4 doors are obviously a bonus. I have a 4 door Focus ST now and I definitely appreciate the 4 doors at times. But.. I do see myself getting bored of the Stinger after a few years. I can definitely see myself saying I wish it have a little more horsepower and torque down the road. Still, both are amazing cars in their own rights.

The Stinger does pretty damn good in that kinda weather, it's got heated side mirrors, heated seats a heated steering wheel AND awd. Something your mustang could only dream off.

I do love the suede package which I wish we had here in Oz. I did have a convertible and loved it, although with our heat and sun, it was very difficult to drive with the top down on a summer day. Fantastic on a nice spring day or in the evenings. Cheers from Oz

With another 2500 in mods the Stinger can sound awesome and get 420HP to the wheels pretty easily. Stock though, that Mustang does sound sick.

Shit for 350 dollars for a str8 pipe exhaust and KIA resetting your comp you can get 400 HP and get your 1/4 mile times down near the mid 12s.I did that to my Stinger and beat 85% of the NA american muscle cars and all 6 mustangs that were in the street tire division.BTW I beat a Focus RS so bad in the practice round my Stinger was put up against american V8's and I have the videos on here--including beating a 600 HP kenny bell lightning. ran a 4.2 to to 60 and a 12.7 in the 1/4 mile without using launch control.

I love your channel and just started watching yesterday and am about 5 videos in but this is the first time I saw you leave a lot of time on the table for one car. Even the best launch didn't liquidate half the traction the mustang has up to 20 and the shifts have quite a bit of room for improvement. Videos of spinning half way through 1st and redline - no lift shifting at near automatic speeds are all over youtube and would likely give a couple cars over your best run. Keep up the good work though! The editing, cameras and focus on truly interesting drag matches is excellent.

Interesting match up. The Mustang could have done better with more aggressive launch technique, but I think you’re trying to be gentle with the clutch and I get that. But these days I don’t think you buy a manual transmission to drag race, it’s for the pure joy of driving a manual. Automatics are just so much better now than they were 15-20 years ago. But it sounded like you were short shifting from 1st in most of the runs. That coyote V8 can sing all the way to 7500, can’t it? It sounded like you were shifting around 5-6k most of the time.

I have had my new Stinger Gt for 1 month now. When you were talking about the Stinger i agreed with you a little on the exhaust noise. I am in Australia and i got the new 2022 version mine has the new back end with the bi-modal exhaust in sport mode you can hear it but its no V8 note. We did not get the seude interior i did want that and we only get rear wheel drive not the all wheel. I love my car it is awesome, i researched the hell out of both cars and i believe i made the right choice. I went for the Silky Silver with the Red Leather interior, my son changed the interior lighting to green the other night is the nicest 1 so far tho i am partial to the blue i had. The real thrill i get in mine when i really punch it and you cannot hear it in this video, i swear it sounds more like a F1 car that kind of note. When it puts you into the seat almost 400hp, windows down sunroof open and you can hear that high note as you are ripping to 100kms in 4.5 seconds. Smile still hasnt left my face. :)

@Catholic Firefighter I've never even driven a Mustang in my life but as a former Stinger owner I can still see why someone would choose a Mustang. It's definitely faster in the real world if you're someone who thinks you need that, and it's just simply an iconic vehicle with decades of heritage and my favorite at least, of the big 3 American V8's... Stinger is definitely winning the stop light wars and the trip to the beach but there's a place for a Mustang in a lot of people's lives otherwise the car wouldn't have stuck around for as long as it has... I'd pick the Stinger because I think it's a cooler looking car. It's definitely one of the more rare cars on the road which means you're getting just as much if not more attention than any obnoxious V8... Plus the convenience and the tech... Just a complete package and I can't really give it the L just because of an exhaust note. Very easy to fix that in the aftermarket
