It’s better than a thread about Elon musk’s vacuum cleaner cars though

This Stinger lived near you?

scho63 · 10-18-2022, 11:26 AM

I Belize it has good ratings

It would be a more interesting car if it didn’t look like the Dollar General version of a Dodge Charger.

Yes with a chip and tuned, hawk brakes after tuning.

Car is bad ass and will smoke a lot on the road easily.

BMW manuals have a delay valve for the clutch. It basically engages the clutch smoother then you can. Not good for burnouts though. I had a 2011 3series Xdrive manual and that car was smooth sailing.

Does the Kia drive like a BMW nowadays?

Kia hired the old designer from Audi. Cars look good now

I test drove one when they first came out and really liked it. I would have happily gone with the Stinger GT, but there wasn't a used/CPO market for it at the time.

Instead I went with a 2 year old BMW M235I, and similar to Bearcat, have loved it so far. I'd still consider a Stinger GT next time though.

I told a couple buddies I was considering trading in my Charger for a Kia and they asked me if I had a stroke or something.

Depends. If i plan on keeping the car i'd rather have the Dodge.

It's a cult car that will age well and always be remembered fondly over the years. The Kia has no such following or appreciation.

However, if im living in the moment and don't plan on keeping either i think the Kia is a more stylish car.

And being in California, i can't legally add boost to the Dodge. You can the Kia though since you're upgrading factory components instead of adding forced induction that wasn't there.
