Its a staged "Killed In Action" Ad video. All Wheel Drive will always hookup better at take off. In an 1/4 mi the Camaro would have wasted him by at least a car length. All Wheel Drives belongs on Jeeps.

Yeah right, notice there is no tree and the Camaro gets off the line late in the last 2 runs. By this measure I'm sure the stinger could out run a Hellcat, Shelby Mustang or the Murder Nova. While it is an impressive car (for what it is) it's certainly no Camaro killer. This is from Motor Trend testing.....
Korean-branded cars usually aren't synonymous with performance, but the rear-drive Stinger GT launches from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and clocks the standing quarter mile in 13.3 seconds at 106.9 mph. An emergency stop from 60 mph requires 113 feet, and it'll pull 0.85 average lateral g on a skidpad. On our exclusive figure-eight test track, the Stinger GT recorded a lap of 26.2 seconds at 0.71 average lateral g. Impressive numbers. And now the Motor Trend numbers on the 2016 Camaro.... With more horsepower and a curb weight down 214 pounds from the last Camaro SS we tested, the new 2016 Camaro SS put down some frighteningly quick numbers at the track. The acceleration run from 0 to 60 mph took just 4.0 seconds, and the quarter mile was through in 12.4 seconds at 114.6 mph. Don't know about you but I'll take the Motor Trend numbers over this video any day. |

Those looked races to 60 mph where the awd car is going to make it look real close when the Camaro driver spins a bit. We all know that the longer the race goes the more lengths the Camaro will put on the stinger gt. Nothing against the stinger , for the money it’s a properly quick 4 door sedan , I just prefer v8 camaros as I don’t need 4 doors.

The Stinger can't hold a candle to the SS . Looses at 0-60, in the 1/4 mile, in the figure 8 and from 60 to 0 braking. That is pretty much the summary of that competition and frankly these cars don't belong in the same class or else Motor Trend would test them together.
If you look at Motor Trend's Ignition they test the Stinger on Streets of Willow and it didn't even beat the 4 cylinder Camaro there which pretty much says this is a joke . I don't doubt it is an ok car but I laugh at the $50K price tag and sometimes it is all about writing a story\video because that is what story tellers get paid to do!!!

I refuse to give sites/videos like that the extra views.
Only hope of getting BS off the internet is to stop clicking/tapping/sharing dumb content like that. It won't work, but the less incentive people have to make crap the better.
