So I wanted to post an update about something I mentioned early on; driving in Comfort mode. Last week I challenged myself to go at least 3 days using only Comfort, instead of only Sport. I wanted to see if it would have any effect on MPGs. I don't know what happened but driving in Comfort is...

That's the way it was with Hyundai when I had my Genesis coupe, separate customer phone lines, dedicated service adviser and lounge, free loaner cars (always a Genesis sedan or Sonata Limited). It's like premium brand treatment without the prices.

Fraid not; up until two weeks ago I didn't even know what a catch can was..lol

Still amazing, and still no issues, thankfully. I figured I would be bored with by now but it still makes me giggle everytime I punch it.

From a 200 mile road trip the other day, with roof open the whole way and cruising 75-80:

Yeah he had a bit of Taco Neck going...lol

From Tall Guy Car reviews; don't know he did it but he managed to squeeze back there:

It's YTD as of January 2017; the Stinger wasn't available, ergo they entered N/A.

They cracked 1000 last month:

Correct, but you can use the paddle and lock in 8th. I do this and the RPMs drop to the same level they do using Comfort. As for mileage, on my last trip I hit 28 mpg, strictly in sport, while cruising 75-80.

Here goes: Stinger GT2, 50/50 city and highway, always in sport mode, driven aggressively (WOT daily, when traffic permits or due to annoyance/road rage); lifetime average sits at 19.5 mpg, highway mileage averages 24, around town is about 19, cruising range is about 320 miles per tank...

Now that I have my Uncle chip installed, I only use Sport mode. I set Custom mode to mirror Sport with the exception of the suspension, which is set to Comfort. If I'm driving somewhere with rough roads I'll flick it to Custom, to keep the power but smooth out the ride a bit.

The one I wouldn't worry about is the clicking accelerator pedal, that's just the kickdown switch you're feeling. If you were to punch it, the engine goes to WOT, but if you push it to the kickdown switch, it forces another gear change to give you more speed. I can't speak for any of the...

Kia's own website still can't be trusted..lol. This is a SWP GT1 with "red interior package" for sale down in GA:

Reminds me of a fake moustache. [giggle] Anybody going to add one of these to your car?

*Fingers crossed, knock on wood*. I've had mine on for about 10 days/300 miles and been beating on it pretty hard with no issues so far. Hopefully it will keep running smoothly and keep amazing me with that incredible power.

Actually you can get SWP with red, but maybe only on the GT1, for now (saw that combo recently). I guess I was hoping he found a TRUE unicorn, and found something not listed on Kia.com. :)

[?|] I forgot about the timer! What's your boss's name, I'm gonna call and demand they give you a raise...lol Thanks for the tip!

My handy stopwatch had it a skosh over 4 secs, I dont know why it's stretched after uploading; I tried to cut it where it starts at the launch and stops right at the 60 mark. I'll get a better one next time...
