The Kia Stinger is the real deal. I ran one when I was launch testing my ZL1. His best that night was 12.768@102.64. He came back another night and ran a 12.50 something I heard. So with a tune and tires it is an 11 second car easy. I assume the comparison was auto to auto. I did finally beat that Stinger by red lighting and putting more pedal down than I wanted. If JalopCrap saw these runs there would be another article saying Stingers can also beat ZL1s.

But that is some terrible GT driving. I have seen stock auto Coyote GTs run 12.4 a number of times. 12.2s with just tires. Was the comparison auto to auto? I am sure 2018s GTs are faster.

So the article is complete BS. What we can say is Kia Stingers are as fast as older modern 5.0 Mustang GTs. There, I fixed it for them. And they need a copy editor. Shabby.

The Kia Stinger GT Beasts[?]The Ford Mustang GT

The Kia Stinger GT runs with older 5.0 Mustang GTs when poorly driven.

That doesn't have the same ring to it does it?
