[@brandonfairman4462]

​@@cropduster123 where did you get those weights from? Look up the curb weight of both cars, the curb for the stinger is 3,792 lbs, the daytona charger has a curb weight of 4291 lbs. I have a feeling you looked up "kia stinger weight" and got the weight for the kia stinger gt2 awd, which is 4023 lbs, but has 368 hp instead of the 300 hp like the on in this vid. Also did you look up challenger instead of charger, because the challenger is about 130lbs heavier than the gt2 instead of 260lbs heavier like the charger. Either way thats more than 90lbs when compared to the gt2, but the car in the vid is the gt, which is 500lbs lighter than the charger in the vid. Now I can give you this, the weight is according to google, kia lists the weight at 3973 lbs instead, which is still over 300lbs lighter.

The Salesman told me everything was the same between the 2 years. I got a heavy discount on the loaded 2021 and took it home. I then found out the 2022 comes with a 2.5. Needless to say I was pissed. I went to dealer and they did nothing about their idiot salesman not knowing about cars. So I just ordered an Injen CAI, Racechip GT black, and NGK race plugs. This should put me around 300hp from the stock 250. So I will see how much the car improves.

[@dannonyogurt98]

As a Kia stinger gt2 owner I can tell you one problem is that even in sport the revs are kept relatively low. So if you're going to do a roll race you need to use the paddle shifters to keep the revs up right before you launch. I think that's why the hemi got a jump each time.

370 horsepower is very underpowered by todays standards. Basically every other V8 on the market currently makes at least 400HP. 5.0 in the Mustangs makes about 460 now, was 435 6.2 in the Camaro makes 455 5.7 Hemi in R/T chargers and challengers still make 370, not sure why so underpowered. I’m guessing because of Dodges marketing… I think they want people buying Scat Packs with the 6.4s making 480 which is actually good for how heavy those cars are. Basically you have to spend more money if you actually want speed and power, the R/T’s are just for people who want the V8 sound I guess and to say they drive a Hemi.

It's too bad your mind isn't open to a nice conversation about 2 cars racing and what changes can impact the race. AWD makes a huge difference on the street. But. Racing on a prepped track with drag radials will drastically change the launch of the rwd cars. Even though in this case. The power curve of the stinger still would have won. If you don't have anything constructive to say about the video. This conversation is over.

[@Wolf.diesel]

@@billhoman694 I never said I wasn't open to a conversation, so you're going out on a limb and making a massive assumption. My point is that this, from the way it appears, is just a simple run what you brought race between two stock vehicles with street tires. So to say that if the Charger was twin turbo doesn't really make sense. Yes I understand that the way the power hits changes things greatly, but to ignore the horsepower and torque gains from adding twin turbos to the 5.7 seems short sighted. That's an entirely different scenario, and one in which you'd have to modify the Stinger to keep it at least relatively fair.

The RTs now just feel super lazy compared to my old 392 SRT8 (now scat pak) or hellcat.

the AWD definitely helps. Stock for stock, the charger struggles to stay planted with those tiny tires and torque. You can see his wheels spinning on the view of the 2nd run at the launch.

Tho it was funny seeing a V6 challenger with a add-on body kit and Hellcat badges I guess he thought the loud a$$ exhaust would mask it to the untrained ear.

Twin turbo Kia 4 door with like 360 horse power and affordable. Might be going to the lot to see about a trade in. Would like to see this car up against some others.
