KIA in the past ten years has slowly but surely has improved on every level. The quality of cars, effective price points, and easy maintenance has proved that. What really gained a lot of the car community's attention the past couple of years was the KIA Stinger GT - a four door GT car designed by an ex BMW designer. With a turbocharged engine and plenty of options for the customer, it was a step in the right direction for KIA. So as a platform to modify should this car be taken more seriously? Let's go for a drive and find out. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday!

I like the fact that stingers are getting more attention. They are really cool cars and they look amazing.

That Kia is a silent killer to BMW. People are probably too concerned with the Kia badge unfortunately.

Silent you mean nonexistent 🤣🤣

[@diydrivenGA]

thing about Kia and Hyundai is that there are still kinks to work out, and a horrible dealer experience at both sales and service....neither knows how to deal with an customer familiar with cars. They also play games with the warranty since they get paid so little on warranty jobs.

[@DriveLineZ]

@@diydrivenGA agree, when I had my BMW, the service departments were extremely nice even with the warranty work. I would say thats because they sorta know how "difficult" its customers can be sometimes. But like with any car, if you don't know anything, they will take advantage of it. Had that happen when my brother's wife took their X5 35d in and guilted her into doing stuff that was super unnecessary.

People are sleeping on the Stinger right now, but im thinking that'll change here soon enough.

[@Mightyxenos]

@Sam Viator I just got my GT1 and have just finished putting exhaust and lowering springs on. Going for intake, and Jb4 next. I'm trying to be patient because lap4 supposedly has their tune going public soon and they offer a kit for 600+ to the wheel. I had concerns about that much power and contacted them on Fb and the tuner surprisingly reached back out after I had concerns about what the engine can handle. He said they have done 50+ at the time with no reports of issues so we'll see.

At the time of filming I was on Boostane + 93 on Map 3. Since then I've done some testing with ethanol and now run E35 on Map4. The car has never ran better.

They also improved the design of the cam timing solenoids and timing chain, and other parts that caused issues with the '09-'13 engines. They were also able to get an additional 10hp and 10 ft lbs of torque out of them, without needing more aggressive tuning.

After the intercooler upgrade, better intakes, and some exhaust upgrades, I should be at or under 4 seconds for 0-60. Guys with custom tunes and WMI are hitting 3.5 second 0-60.

Great review. I owned an Audi S4 B7 (2006) V8 4.2 with an intake mod, and I loved it for years. I was debating between an RS3 or an S5 Sportback, then I tried the KIA. I didn't look back. I went for the KIA, even got rid of my S4 because I just stopped driving it, I preferred the Stinger! Now I'm modding it. Injen intakes, JB4 mod w/ 98+ octane fuel so Map2 & occasionally 3, ventilated brakes, EVC catback system, going to plasti-dip it for a sick look, and might even put a carbon fiber hood on top of it. The funny part? ALL THAT & I saved about 15,000 CAD$ versus the S5. It's such a great car, I thought of keeping it ~3 years, but I'm going to use the extended 7-years warranty to the max. Note: You should write 420 BHP. I.e. the performance gains of the JB4 mod with an intake/exhaust upgrade give the car about 100 HP, almost to 500. That B makes a big, over 15% difference.

Love my 19’ GT2. Car is a blast to drive and most importantly lives up to the GT name. I do a lot of highway traveling and it makes the miles a breeze.

[@MuddyTubMedia]

its been my daily driver for a year and a half and i am completely in love with it

[@MuddyTubMedia]

Update: owned it for 3 years. Sold it. 2 years later, I bought another one. It’s that good.

You need to check out a q50 or q60 tuned of course. I don’t remember ever seeing a Infiniti being reviewed

[@FYRARMS]

The only things keeping me from buying a Q50RS are the drive-by-wire steering and the terrible transmission. That car deserves the older beloved G37/370Z steering and a ZF 8-speed auto trans. Like, BADLY.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE my Q60. Crazy power tuned with minimal work.

So question here re quality on Nissan vs Infinity quality. I know Infinity is Nissans premium brand but I've heard so many comments about Nissan's recent quality being pretty well.. shit. Like Nissan Rogues having electrical and shift issues, I have a buddy with a Micra that is less then 5 years old and is just in bad shape and been to the shop way too many times for it's age. Is that the case for Infinity's also? Obviously I can google it but first hand experience or knowing someone is better I feel. Thanks!

Terry, the dev behind the JB4 has done an amazing job expanding the cross platform compatibility from just BMW's.

In just about every Stinger review the driver has a smile ear-to-ear when he gets on the go pedal. I test drove one and now I know why. That was four days ago and I'm still smiling.

[@PhanRegSop]

I sat in one in 2019 and havent it forgotten since. Finally test drove one last month because I’m getting ready to buy and it was amazing.

Break the circuit to one shock solenoid and go to full stiff race suspension. Make the circuit and go back to sport mode as long as you do it within a couple minutes. I have a toggle on my center console and saved a ton on coil overs.

You should look at their 450hp package. BMS actually has good mods for the stinger/g70.

[@koreandude81]

My car is literally a rolling BMS billboard, lol. It's recommended to upgrade your plugs to Denso 5346 plugs (1 step colder) when doing the JB4. BMS also has a zero maintenance OCC I highly recommend. Also, since I'm RWD, I'm running their differential brace. It reduces slop and aids traction. Really helps it hook up. This fall I'll be getting the BMS intercooler and WMI kit. Should be close to 500whp by then.

I just got a 2021 GT line AWD and I love this car! It’s fast and comfortable, you can’t hear or feel the transmission it just goes Some people laugh at Kia. But Kia owners are laughing at the rest of the world. Aaaaand it’s backed by a 10year ,100,000 mile power train warranty and my dealership gave me a lifetime powertrain warranty. Have to read the fine print on that. But the Kia stinger is a wonderful car. Especially in awd lol too much fun
