It's the whole 'looks are deceiving' thing.

So a lot of us seeing cars that seem casual blowing up performance on the roads is ideally pleasing. At least that's my take on it. I too personally enjoy seeing the casual car smoke a suped up drag race looking vehicle or just simply putting on as if they were one. Have you seen some of the sleeper car races?

That is low 13s, high 12s in the 1/4. Plenty of videos of it on KZbin. It shouldn't have lost, specially when the JB4 was turned on. If you read the comments they were in AUTO mode. The GLI auto-upshifts at under 4k RPM on auto mode while the KIA does it around 6kRPM. If they would have all been in manual mode using paddle shifters then the GLI would have been able to redline to 6kRPM. Which is why everyone is saying this race is weird.

It might win in a straight line, but on a twisty road I would take the GLI with the LSD. Several reviewers on the K5 GT complain that you can't get the power down on this car . It might have 290 hp but if you can't get it to the wheels without slipping, then it is a waste.

Personally I'm not a Fan of the 4 cylinder Grindy sound. To balance that out, I'd have a Magnaflow™ muffler or cat-back installed to add more sound to the rear, balancing it out. I've done this on many cars & have always gotten positive results. The only thing we cannot experience from a video is NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness), pretty common with 4 cylinder mills. A personal test drive would be necessary to check that.
