Keep your eyes on the road! lol

Great comment! That's why this forum rocks. The other Stinger forum is maligning the very brand from whence they purchased their cars. A recipe for disaster if I ever saw one ...

I also really appreciate my base GT AWD, and I'm not new to high perfomance cars/sedans ... Had plenty of Mustang GT's, and the Stinger GT AWD is just as quick as my S550 and I can drive it in the Winter! My Taurus SHO had the same 365 hp & AWD, but it was heavier and didn't look anywhere near...

Welcome friend and enjoy your car! You picked the right KIA Stinger forum.(y) Tennessee? South Carolina? lol

At a local Car Club cruise: While leaving the parking lot - "It's got Brembo's!" Two guys walking by on sidewalk - "Look, a Stinger!"

The Smoking Tire is not on my list of liked/trusted reviewers. I prefer Motor Trend, C&D, and the like. That said, C&D's 0-60 of 2.8 seconds is great for a 60-70k car. So ..... I wasn't really chasing after C7 Vettes, and I'm really, really not going to be challenging C8 Vettes. And I'm good...

Not really sure why people compare a 100k+ car to our Stingers, but it's definitely flattering.(y) My guess is that these were the only two cars they had that week, so voila, a comparo!

Agreed, awesome job with those links. Thanks luv2drive!

Wise words my friend. Well said!

Another Stinger forum has gone lunatic with this debadge/unbadge stuff, even their moderators have lost it. Let's not become them! But yeah, I'd have to agree. Definitely looks Maserati-ish. Let's be proud our Stingers are made by KIA.(y) ...

137 people have voted in the poll. There are 8,703 members on this forum. Worldwide KIA Stinger sales to date is 35,597. Seems to back up why the Stingers I've seen since buying my car (admittedly not many) have OEM badges, as does my car.

There is no such thing as a 375 hp VW Golf R. lol Getting back to reality ... VW Golf R 288 hp / 280 lb-ft Base Price: $41,290 manual / $42,390 auto Performance (manual / auto) 0-60 mph: 5.2 sec / 4.5 sec 0-100 mph: 13.0 sec / 11.7 sec 5-60 mph: 6.3 sec / 5.8 sec ¼-mile: 13.7 sec @ 103 mph /...

Thanks! After some time peering under the driver's seat with a Maglite, I saw the item wedged between the right seat track and the carpet. Using the end of a straightened out wire coat hangar, I was able to finally fish it out. Dang, that was a tight spot.:oops:

Dropped something and it fell into the driver's front seat track. It's just the front two and rear two track bolts, right? I don't need to pull the whole seat out of the car, just high enough to get access and remove the item from the track. Don't think I have to touch the wiring or unplug...

Living in the snow belt, no AWD option for the Scat Pack means it was never a consideration for me.

Love the engine roar of those Tesla's. ;)

Thank You. :)

Unless something suddenly rocks KIA's sport sedan world ... nothing.(y)
