Well i picked up the GT today......wow. What an amazing car. I have owned several new cars and the Kia takes the cake. It drives like an expensive european. I still cannot believe how well appointed it is inside. Totally wrapped. Well done Kia!!! Once its done 1000km run in we will put it on the dyno and see where we are sitting power wise. Then its time for us to fab a custom exhaust and bigger cooler. Heres a pic of our new girl

Nice! I'm in Adelaide as well and have money down on a blue one. Test driving the grey GT they have at Stilwell KIA on Friday.

Ok so had the Stinger in workshop today and pulled it down a bit to scope the planned mods. No loose boost hoses at all. All seem very secure, couple could be a bit longer but seem fine atm. Intake is pretty restrictive and i believe we should see a nice kw gain from some basic improvements here. Will keep you all updated. So blown away with this car, very happy customer.

Kind regards Jon

Hi Jon, do you plan on doing a custom intake or just getting an aftermarket one from companies like K&N? Here are more details on the K&N https://www.kiastinger.org/forum/threads/340-K-amp-N-Intake-for-the-Kia-Stinger

Hi Dan. Will definately be designing my own system. The air ram that feeds the box is one of the most restrictive components. Wont know till i pull the front clip off car but will definately be working to get as much cold air as possible into the filters
