    Shifting into Manual Mode

    Disagree - Auto is awful when driving aggressively near limit. It?s fine for street but awful in completion

    Why no bee decals or emblems

    I?m surprised we havent seen Stinger bee emblems? Anyone developing some cool bee theme emblems.

    Owners on lowered Stingers, how is your tire wear?

    This is why I have asked why no aftermarket suspension arms that allow us to adjust toe and camber. SPL does a decent job with aftermarket suspension arms. Perhaps if we starting writing them? http://www.splparts.com/

    First Ax impressions

    I ran fun at Porsche ax. They don't have classes for non Porsche's. Not sure what class it will run yet in SCCA. However I'm likely not going to ax the car again.

    First Ax impressions

    Did my first auto cross with Porsche Club today. Here are my initial impressions of the car. Course had variety of features from slow technical to fast slaloms and straights. My car GT2 RWD - bone stock. I struggled finding right setting for the car. Sport mode obviously but alternated...

    RaceChip GTS Black Initial Review

    They also tuned power to accomplish this as well. Question is how much stronger? 50 ft lbs stronger or 150 ft lbs stronger?

    RaceChip GTS Black Initial Review

    Im not as confident as you. And I have been building race cars for decades. In other well known platforms we usually know rated torque capacity of transmissions. Also people learn over time on more popular cars what transmission will hold safely . This tranny is not well known by me - im...

    RaceChip GTS Black Initial Review

    Well sent my money off this week for a GtS Black. Should be interesting. While I?m in California I do have easy access to race fuel that I can blend to get higher than 91 octane. So hoping I can change tunes easily for when I want to run higher octane in the tank. Tune seems like the best...

    How much horsepower will make you happy with the Kia Stinger?

    I always find these threads interesting. A peak horsepower number really doesn?t mean much. I?d rather have car with 450 ft lbs of torque from 1500 to 4500 rpm and 450 hp than a car that makes 500 peak hp at high rpm.

    Ford Mustang GT v Kia Stinger GT Drag Race

    Yeah smaller sport bikes 600cc . I just surprised them as they very quickly caught me but was funny as I don?t think they expected a Kia to be so fast. My windows were open so could hear them hesitate and then rev motors wildly. Would have been interesting to keep my foot in it. I love the...

    Ford Mustang GT v Kia Stinger GT Drag Race

    Yeah I caught two sport bikes a sleep at light with no traffic in front of us on an expressway. Punched it through 1 st and second. They had no idea what happened until I let off and they both went screaming by. Hilarious.

    badge replacement

    yeah I screwed the pooch on my emblem switch as well. Accidentally boiled the paint with my heat gun and small scratch in rear . Fortunately the big K emblem in back covered my mistakes. Bummed as I wanted to do Stinger script but it didn't cover my errors. Front came off with no issue. I...

    Dang this is a pretty car for a Kia

    I?m not a fan of car on narrow twisty roads I live on. It?s more of a smooth road car. I have more fun big open spaces where I can open car up. Bouncy twisty roads upset soft suspension too much. Leave the fun mountain road driving to my stiffer Dodge Durango R/T. Dodge knows suspensions...
