Roush driver here!!! It was an amazing race, everyone doubts and laugh at kia stinger but its an very good car!!! With proper mods are beasts, i will bring you this summer our fastest stinger for sure!!! Love my friend and cheers everybody 🔥🔥🔥
Carlos I have a 19 Roush Stage 3 and put some Nitto 555R2 or Mickey Thompson ET Street SS drag radials on the back and they are game changers with traction. Both very streetable tires.
@@johnthegaptist7794 really? I was actually going to buy those ones and changed my mind. Not very wise from my part to be honest, thanks man for the heads-up 🔥
I'm literally wearing my Kia racing jacket right now that I used to wear at the dealership. The stinger their fastest and arguably best car. The Sorrnto's are boring fight me
Wow these comments 🤦♂️. "This race is so unfair!" People bring these cars for Sam to race on the channel. It's not like he has 1000 cars to choose from to make a perfectly fair race everytime. He does what he can with what he can get. And I think he does a damn good job at it.
@Catholic Firefighter I really want to see you yelling (Lets Go Brandon) and spray water from your firetruck on some tuned stinger which caught fire since the 10 yr drivetrain warranty is out of the window now. Haha
So that everyone is clear about what happened on the first race. The Roush driver had no business manually shifting that 10spd from a dig, it’s the 18+ mustang’s cheat code. Once he let the auto do it’s thing on the second race and beyond, none of the races were close. The 10spd keeps the mustang in it’s power band! No more manually shifting 10r80 equipped mustangs please! Great video 👍🏾
For those who missed everything in the first race (including the OP apparently) the guy driving the Roush was in Line Lock mode at the start of the race and you can see his tires spinning but he's standing still. That's used to warm up the tires so his front brakes are engaged and rear tires already spinning when the guy says go lol. To add on to the lack of proper traction, the guy was also short shifting using the manual mode (paddle shifting) which defeats the entire purpose of having that 10speed auto. You also can't really "miss" a gear in the sport mode, but he probably fudged that up too somehow lol. Terrible first race and the latter ones happened as expected. Kia is a decent car, but the power/weight ratio for the RS3 Roush comparatively sets it far ahead, especially in a roll race. Bad match up and not sure why they didn't catch this in the edits or do 2 races of each for comparison.
@@matteo_syd7271 ah, I see at 6:50 he's shifts from 1st to 2nd and almost immediately after hitting the paddle he hits it again. Not sure if he actually short shifted or not but that's what it looked like to me. A good tuned RS3 or even FBO gen3 coyote should be able to hit 7200rpm and I would bet my bottom dollar he was shifting at or around 6k
Yep and the cats are most restrictive after that. If you know how to drive the stinger...you can decimate almost everyone on the road. Tuning a stinger gets you FAR below 4 sec 0 to 60 and puts you at low to mid 11s at 1/4m.
People. No matter what u drive. Never roll race a 5.0. Supercharged or not. Never a good idea unless u want to loose. The 5.0 in all its 3 gens is an absolute beast
Calm the hell down. A 5.0 without major mods isn't all that fast. Stock for stock a 382hp 340i would take it. 5.0 does mid 12's and 340i does low 12's at a higher speed..
Still, tik tok showed how many Kia cars break down built cheap, and motors dont last. Regardless of a unfair car, get a F6 or Supra, or better a GTR.. get a AWD vs AWD turbo. I still will never buy a kia
Very have a very nice sound and that 10 speed is crazy fast. I miss my ‘14 5.0 wish I never sold it. Especially cuz it was pre corona and I only got 16k for a ‘14 track pack with gt500 grille and wing. It was also lowered with a full exhaust and bolt ons. At least the guy I sold it took has taken good care of it
Just got a Stinger GT. I'm coming from a 2020 Mustang GT pp2. I loved my Mustang, but damn, Kia absolutely nailed a great experience with the Stinger. It is subtle, until you get on the gas and it lets loose. The Mustang was my dream car but it was uncomfortable after a few hours. The Stinger is just an absolute joy to drive.
@@08turboSSyeah was just about to say, hes going to regret that sooner or later. would definitely take reliability over comfort. if his engine blows before 80k miles hes gonna regret it😂
@@fullmetal1421 I raced a stock 440i actually and beat him pretty easy about 1 and a half car length i have about the same mods as this stinger in the video... But i use boosted launch and the video stinger doesn't :)
@@fullmetal1421 are u serious u never seen a sub 4 second stinger? Just look on dragy stingers doing 2.9 0-60 lol………shit my stock stinger does 4.2 0-60
This race was stupid. If you want to race a modded stinger vs a 750hp mustang atleast bring a proper tuned stinger. If it was a mustang GT tuned it would be fine. Jb4 is decent for what it is but it’s just a boost controller. It literally does nothing to timing fueling etc……..Get a lap 3 2.5 ECU/TCU with bolt ons. Then it will be interesting.
Agreed, but also even justa tcu or brake snip would make a big difference. lap3 2.5 or even 1.5 with a tcu tune as well will be sick. Lozic have some nice ecu tcu tunes too! meth on the stinger would make a big difference to the IATs or a proper intercooler.
@@Pratagraph yes the oem LC on stinger/g70 is the biggest problem. It builds ZERO boost. It just starts you out a 2krpm. But when you can build boost on the launch they launch like rockets. Like you said a simple TCU flash allows the stinger to launch properly. I have a stinger and do the parking brake launch it works very well. My car is bone stock does 4.2 0-60 using parking brake launch. The problem is a lot of jb4 stingers still use regular OEM LC which results in horrible 60ft’s over 2 seconds. A TCU tune or brake snip or parking brake launch will cut .5 off the 1/4 mile alone.
@@Tsand4 hey Tim, just for the record, don't do the parking brake launch. It can mess up your trans. The line pressure is too much and can cause many problems down the line. You can get a TCU tune for as cheap as 300 bucks. Trust me it's the best money youll ever spend on your car.
A fan of both cars...Huge Stang fan but really impressed with the Kia Stinger. Yeah, at double the HP and significantly higher price, the Stang would have been expected to win by a good margin. Well done Sam
Sam the quality of your videos is really good. I like all of the different angles you are using now. It really looks great. Do you know if the Stinger had the “brake snip” or a TCU tune for boosted launches? By default the Stinger doesn’t build significant boost off the line. However, a simple modification can allow the car to build significant boost off the line. With boosted launches the Stinger are significantly faster.
@@xcbaby123 Are u Series man?!!!! Stinger is awd being heaver than rwd, secondly mustang is a sport car unlike family car .. Finally 500hp gb4 compared to 760hp to mustang. Study all these factors before compare plz 🙏
Finally someone who does a ROLL race. I love it when AWD people think they're fast and only want to do dig races. Throw some M/Ts on the mustang and we'll see who takes it from a dig lol 😆
For what its worth... The Kia has a totally usable back seat for adults and four doors... We love our 2018 GT1.. Have the JB4, midpipes and cold air, it's loads of fun. Thanks for the testing, sorry i was late to the party.
B Hey sam remember when you raced the stinger against your beloved q50 rs and left way before it? Then you told everyone who pointed it out they were wrong and disabled the comments?
Torque number that's posted for the stinger is too low. Has to be higher, typically if it's making 500hp it'll be making between 550-600ft-lbs. Factory stingers dyno at around 330whp, 390wft-lbs
On the 1st race, the Roush driver didn't just muff the shifts= (he was in manual mode), he muffed the launch, big time as well.. I don't know why, but some people think a vehicle will be quicker, if they start with the rear wheels, already spinning🤦. Drag racing is all about traction, not spinning! The second race, the Roush driver tried to take off without spinning= WOULD YA LOOK @ THAT, better results🤔😉👍
Get the TCU tune on that Stinger and it will take off way harder. A lot of what holds it back are the nannies and torque limiters to keep that 100k warranty. A TCU tune fixes that and totally changes the cars performance. With AWD it's able to take it without any short term issues anyway.
All s550 autos do not use paddle shifters. it makes the cars much slower. throw it in sport and right before the car switches gears throw it in drive. Let the car do the work.
That Ikea stinger that was a good race that a Kia stinger is lighter than the 5.0 the motor in in the Kia stinger is impressive I think that was a Fair race and just like always the 5.0 always pulls it off there's not much on the street that's going to beat that 5.0 actually the roush
@@Tsand4 At the moment I’m not worried about the warranty. Im just gonna wait a bit and see what everyone thinks of what the options end up being. For me personally, the car is fast enough but I’d be game if there are some decent gains.
ok a dressed up high strung quarter mile brawler managed to outrun the little korean version of a soccer mom car ..... why didnt they use a STOCK .50 or somethin.... even a ecoboosted 4 stomper woulda made a closer race
Why do they let guys who cannot drive a 6-speed, whose previous vehicle was a Toyota Prius try to race? These guys need to just stick to baking cookies rather than trying to race a sports car, this guy here did the Mustang no justice and it's sad sad sad sad!
Just as I expected Mustang destroyed the kia. Imagine if the mustang had tires. Stock to stock same results. But.. The kia with turbos its easy to make more power with just a tune. Get a stock 5.0 auto and see what happens.
I actually removed everything from my trunk as much as I could before the race (spare tire, tool, etc). But yes I am sure with a significant weight reduction I can compete or maybe even take the Roush.
400 to 400hp Stinger vs a 750hp Mustang what if you get a Atinger with 650hp upgrades turbos using Lap3 stage 2.5 That mustang wouldnt have a chance 😂 Im glad Torq is making a 1200hp Stinger it will tear alot of cars up. What will be fair is a regular Mustang 5.0 vs Kia Stinger GT2
I have a Kia STINGER and that launch control is too late I could hear the beep. Start it when the countdown starts and build some boost. Should be a closer race
"If it's fast we don't know...I believe we ran an 11.9"...... and 750 is "almost twice" 500? LMAO. This guys ridiculous comments never fail to amuse me.
The only reason it was close on the first dig, was because the Mustang was spinning the tires. Horsepower difference is too much. Stinger is impressive nonetheless.
for it being close to 1/2 the cost it's pretty impressive what the stinger can do. Kind of wish you'd see a more aggressive build for that engine (I.E better gearbox, loose some overall weight) and you'd have a beast of a car.
