In the past 7 years I have had MB, Audi, 2017 AR Guilia, and a 2018 300S with the HEMI. These were the EXACT two cars I was considering and I took the 2020 Stinger GT2 top of the line trim...I just picked the car up at the end of June in Ceramic Silver with $6700 off MSRP. This car is a true Grand Touring type car with a very refined driving experience...I fricking LOVE this car!!!
Get jb4 , intakes, spark plugs , and run an e30 mix and you’ll be hurting muscle car guys feelings all day long
@@IRoYaILTY I do it anyways--I am a former muscle car driver and they can not get the power down unless it is warm or hot pavement or a drag strip where you burn your tires out.Chevy computers are the best like the new vette.AWD is going to have to be put on american muscle cars soon if they want to compete--there is no sense in it--it is a 2k to 5k feature and by far the best performance feature you can get on a car.I also own a 2020 AWD Stinger GT 3.3TT and in daily driving it is as fast as muscle cars.
@@khronin Now they're going for 6k OVER STICKER. You had great timing.
@@lawabiding2576 I sold the stinger for an almost 10k profit and bought a mazda CX-30 Premium Plus Turbo.With the money I pocketed I will simply spend the 1k extra fee and rent a GT/Track car when i goto the track.Stinger is great for what it is--but after going to public drag--I had scuff marks and rubber nicks all over the skirts and door sills--etc cause the car sat too low--luckily I had ceramic coated the car so when I sold it it had many of the marks hidden--but if anyone looked close you could see it--I also had 3 flats--more then my entire 20 years of driving in just a year of owning the stinger--tires too low profile--Hoping they make some kinda cuv in the 50k range that is close tp an AMG 45 GLA--but my CX-30 turbo is actually a very good all around daily driver.
@Law Abiding I got mine mid-September 2021 on mine for below MSRP, I think the very next week at the same dealership, they had already gone up in price. I could have probably sold it for about 10k over after a few months, but I like it too damn much.
I have own a Stinger GT/RWD for one year now. The most fun I’ve ever had with a car! Wouldn’t trade it for nothing:)
You would for a dodge demon
@@JunKeeTV no I wouldn’t. Man I’ve added some mods and it’s the most unique/head turner in town. Federation Orange with Bronze wheels 😍... I literally have ppl following me to comment on the car and ask what is it... “man that’s sweet”, “I thought it was an exotic”, “KIA???... For real??”, etc
@@arthurkyles2564 pretty sure 800hp if better than a 600 max horsepower stinger
My brother owns a GT with a turbo chip and hks exhaust he still barely pushes 420
@@JunKeeTV I’m not a racetrack guy. I’m faster than most out there on the interstate. I’m not trying to be the fastest. I’d rather be the most unique. I’ve beat challengers, camaros and mustangs. It’s a blast to say.. “man you lost to a Kia” 😂 plus my car looks sweeter than all of them 🙌🏻🙌🙌🏾
I have an R/T, ran against a stinger on the highway, it got a car length on me by the time we hit 100. They're pretty quick!
Yes they will definitely get your attention
I got a hold of one in my durango.🤭 it wasnt pretty for him.
@Catholic Firefighter nice numbers but there just numbers. The racer is far more important
RacerX Which is better depends if u r a female or man. Girls go Kia 90% of the time and men would take pride in a muscle car and having a tough car not a cute Kia or cute Subie
Catholic Firefighter 392 hemi 0-60 in 3.8 or 4.2 depending on package (1320 or Scat pack wide body) That’s the 5,7L Hemi detuned to do the same 0-60 and q mile of the 1960s and 1970s 426 hemi.
Got my stinger a couple of years ago. It's a great car and for the power it uses almost nothing in the way of fuel. Doesn't soothe your inner cave man like a v8. But it really gets badge snob type people's nose outta joint when they get smoked by a kia which kinda makes up for it.
How do you like it after owning it for a couple years? I'm currently looking at a Stinger GT, Charger R/T, Camaro LT1 and maybe a couple others like a CT4. Sedans are more preferred as it will be a DD.
@@Summit900 It's brilliant. I use it as my daily after I swapped from my SS-V Commodore (pontiac g8 over in the US). It's way more practical and almost wagon like with the back seats folded down. The back seat is an issue if you're regularly taking long trips with 5 in the car but compared to a 2 door it's way better. Fuel consumption round town is also really good too (usually about 26mpg round town and 31 on the highway).
@@katocmd I'm single/no kids. The most I'll have in the car is 1 other person, maybe 2 on extremely rare occasions. But essentially its just going to be me. I was actually also looking at a Chevy SS(Commodore VF) and Chevy Caprice PPV(Statesman). But they are kind of pricey. Chevy SS with 85k miles for $27K. Caprice PPV with blown motors going for for like $7k plus in government auctions. and a new Stinger Gt is about mid $30K here. And I'm very interested in that 10 year/100K mile warranty. I drive like 30K miles a year due to work.
@@Summit900 Had my ss for 7 years and loved it but the stinger is head and shoulders above the ve and vf in every way cept for the sound of the engine and visibility out of the back window
@@katocmd Rear visibility doesn't bother me. I'm gonna be selling my 2000 Trans Am to pay off my pickup loan and that car has pretty bad rear visibility.
I got a 2018 Stinger GT1 AWD in July of 2018. Great car with all the bells and whistles. I had the Ceramic Silver with dark tint. Beautiful car and very fast. In sport 80% of the power goes to the back so it feels like RWD. It was nice to have the AWD in the winter here in Cincinnati. Long story short I traded it for a 2020 Challenger RT Scat Pack in January. Our winters haven’t been bad the last 4-5 years so I really wanted the Scat and almost got one back in 2018. I tried to the the responsible thing having a family but I couldn’t drive past one without wishing I had it. All good now and couldn’t be happier. The Stinger has a different kinda speed then the Scat. The Scat feels much more powerful where the Stinger feels quick if that makes sense...
Excellent assessment .. I agree
scat is feces.... i can never get over the use of this term.
I’m from Cincinnati as well. Passed up on the Charger 392 for a 2021 Stinger. JB4 tuned, CAI, intercooler & catless downpipes. On the map 3 tune with mixture of E85 & 93, it is a world of difference.
That Kia is a nice looking performance car. I would definitely get one as a second car to go with my Challenger. The interior and technology looks much better than the Challenger Scat.
Another great video comparison, my man! I had zero knowledge about the Kia prior to this vid but as a proud owner of a Challenger RT I must agree completely the grumble of that V8 puts a smile on my face every single day
Absolutely my friend 👍
I raced a Kia GT with the twin turbo in the quarter mile and the Kia almost had me lol. My Hellcat spins to much. But the Stinger GT is a great car. I still love the dodge better, the seats are more comfy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
These Kias surprise a lot of people .. they are not as fast as a Scat but still a really quick car
launch it in 2nd...
I smoked a stinger gt in my scat pack the other day lol
@Jarmir HungI'm doing a study on how long it takes negative people to feel better about themselves since toxic RUclips comments. It's been 3 hours since your toxic reply to something I posted two days ago. Do you feel better about yourself yet? Please be detailed in your response.
@@rickc6831 I'm just happy you smoked the stinger....I hate them, just saying.
Love all the videos. Especially the scat pack ones. Got my RT ordered and should be done in 8 weeks. Wanted the scat but finances are more important than fun. Cant wait for more content.
I have a 2019 Stinger GT1 RWD living here in snow free AZ. The RWD provides ample traction, no need for AWD. It's been a great car! Thanks for the comparison though a better comparison would have been to a Charger Scatpack.
I just got the 2020 GT2 RWD. Except for the once in 100 year freak snow storms, we don’t like get much snow where I live. How does yours do in the rain?
Got a 2018 Sorento and 2019 Forte...Kia has come a long ways and great safety ratings... I was staring at the Stinger the whole time while getting the Forte :)
Yes the Kia's are legitimately nice vehicles these days
Was hoping my 2010 kia forte sx wasn't going to last when the stingers came out but low and behold still looks and runs like new... 140000kms. Still have the radio protector film on lol. Still want a stinger for the all wheel drive in winter
@@jaly4121 I have a 2010 Kia Forte sx too 🤯
In Australia the Stinger whipped the last V8 Holden Commodore SS (Chevy SS) when they were released in 17. Some cops now have stingers as their highway cruisers. Great comparison. Love the mopar though.
Hardly whipped it. Was very closr
I seen Australia comparisons when the kia came out. I raced a buddy who bought the awd gt when i still had my 16' SS with manual and headers. I got good launches and beat him everytime. Made me think someone was paid off to sand bag. I never never believe auto journalists.
Fair review Stinger owner here as you can see in my profile pic. When I was searching for a new car it was between the charger scat and the Stinger Gt. I ultimately went with the Base Gt because of the AWD. I have invested in some bolt ons downpipes exhaust and intakes and am sitting at 400 Whp. Add my piggy back tune I’m at 500 to the wheels not crank. Keep this in mind guys running what I have are doing 11 1/4 times. Our Ecu hasn’t even been cracked yet 10’s with stock turbos are very possible. The car has a lot of potential hell once I’m in the 10’s I’m good fast enough for me for my daily
Right on, I finally got my GT2 AWD to test and tune night. I pulled consistent 12.9 at 108mph. It was 92 deg. All I've done is intakes and cat back exhaust. JB4 was ordered last night :)
TCT Knives nice bro just got my JB4 today can’t wait to install. Good luck
Great review no bias noticed from a fellow Mopar tuber. Love your channel!!
Thank you my friend..
Challenger on the road wins easy. However if its a daily driver then the interior and reliability favor the Stinger. 100,000 mile warranties are insane
I definitely think both cars are great and have their merits 👍
@@RacerX9 Absolutely
The Challenger has more power and is faster, but the Stinger handles better.
@@doudymac faster top end but it just got smoked this whole race until the end so how is it faster?
@@cryptonator1988 What race?
Very interesting! When I got my Scatpack it was between the Scatpack and the Stinger. Interesting you did a comparison.
They are both great cars 👍
I was deciding between the same two! Ended up going with the SCATPACK because I wanted to wake my neighbors up in the morning. Haha
@@krimedawg10 It can be good for that. The look is way better on the Scat too. My opinion. If they would do something more aggressive with the front of the Stinger it would be a lot better.
@trey blanton wrong.
Thank you for the video 🙂. If we are talking only on hp and torque, the base GT Kia Stinger can be bought for $30k with the same 365 hp and 376lbs of torque as the GT2. The GT2 only comes with more technology. IMO they should not be compared in price vs performance. The Stinger comes with way more technology than the other for the same price.
A $30k GT is a used one
A used one with 40000 miles
I have the Stinger GT2 and I love it. It’s an all-round player with its looks, performance as well as finesse that it offers for the price. It’s well equipped and fun to drive. Nothing against the Scat Pack. If the raw power is what you are after, that’s the car for you. Frankly, i just don’t find the interior of Mopar cars are up to par. Lots of cheap plastic everywhere with dull looks and definitely lacking fit and finish. That’s just my opinion. I am sure it’s a blast to drive nevertheless.
Honestly I find that charming at the sub 50k mark but I agree for the Hellcats and up. Muscle cars are supposed to cut corners in the interior to get you the best components where it counts! I also love how simple the interiors are. They are gimmick free and I think they will age similarly to the R34 (well) Plus the shared cheep parts from the fiat Chrysler brand will only make components cheeper down the road when they need to be replaced
I own the sting and rented the Challenger. The stinger is a better all around car for all conditions. The Challenger is a fun car but I wouldn’t want to drive it everyday. It was my favorite car growing up in the 70’s and Dodge did a great job keeping it true to the original while adding creature comforts.
my fiance and I each have a stinger (both are gt2 awd) and we both loved your comparison, the dodge is another car we want. thanks for the awesome video.
Kia has come a long way in the past few years, great reviews, as you know we had a 18 rt 5.7 with a stick fun to drive, then we drove and bought our 6.4 Shaker car with automatic stick is more fun adds a more control feeling with hard gears but you give up auto start, adaptive cruise which is a wonderful safety feature....Octane red scat looks rich in this color, Dodge puts down a great paint job these days.....Thanks Steve
I hope your enjoying your Scatpack 🤜🔥🔥
Preciate the upload , gave me something to watch while I eat dinner
No worries..
I would have been really tempted to go scat pack but since I live in Chicago area the AWD of the Stinger GT2 is great for the winter. I’m really enjoying the car.
My wife and I were literally just looking at both the Stinger GT and the Charger scat pack last week. Ended up getting a new 2021 Stinger GT RWD for 35k (MSRP was 43.7k) and we couldn't be happier. It is a great everyday driver and personally I feel the hp is likely underrated!
Awesome stuff.. yes the stinger is a great car
May I ask what dealership you purchased your stinger from? And was that 35k out the door?
@@TheCTEnterprises The dealership was Mark Kia in Scottsdale Arizona and the 35k was before the usual tax, tags and title fees. We financed through Kia Motors for an additional 2k discount and then we turned around and refinanced with our credit union for a lower APR. Hope this helps!
@@chrish8487 Wow I didn't think of that. Im getting a GT1 this week and financing through Kia and then refinancing with my credit union sounds like something I'm definitely going to do! Thank you.
Isn't the 2021 the new facelift? Do Kia offer discount on those already? if so, what a heck of a deal
Scat will win the 1/4 but the 8th the stinger might get it by a bumper 😂. Cause once that boat take off it’s gone. 😂
I would say thats about right lol
Anonymous they already did it on the 1/8 top speed plays a role in a 1/4
It's actually the opposite. With better than stock tires the 392 will win every single time in terms of 60ft and ET stock-for-stock, and mod for mod. This is because of the stupid nannies that come on the Stinger which prevent boost from launch. The Stingers on the other hand are better from a roll and trap speed wise once you start modding relative to the power. A bunch of Stingers are already trapping 120+, including a couple at 125+ AWD mind you. That's more hellcat level. The best trap you'll usually see out of bolt on/tune Scats is about 116-120 tops. Weak internals limit the 392. The Stinger on the other hand has a transmission/transfer rated at 730 WTQ (1000 NM), fully forged pistons+rods+crank good to 800+. So it's the better platform if you're gonna mod to big power.
@@Paranormal_Code Thats the thing on stock tires on an unprepped surface, on the street from a stop light, the stinger will win 9 out of 10 times. you need to have drag radials or slicks from a dig and a perfect launch. People on here talking about RTs beating or keeping up with a stinger is a joke. I've beat 392's and lost to 392's never to an RT modded or stock lmao. and I've only lost to an 392's when they had a perfect launch which is not most of the time. Even when they get a perfect launch I'm still door to door or even getting slightly ahead until 90 and that hemi starts pulling me up top. The 392 traps higher stock quarter and they start walking around 90mph and up. But If the 392 slips even just a little bit from a dig its over for them. I've seen 392's come back from a slip on other cars. But the stingers mid is too much for them to make up that gap. If they slip I usually get them by a car to a car in a half sometimes 2 if the slip is bad lol. if it's door to door they will pull me up top and get me by a car. Mod for mod the stinger wins. $500 and your getting 500+ torque at the wheels in a lighter car. You're are easily slapping bolt on 392's. Like u said you are in hellcat territory at that point. And yup that 2500 rpm launch limit is a pain in the ass lol
@@amonh4258 I'm debating brake snip right now. Without it the Stinger has a pathetic 1.8-2.0 ish 60 ft. With it... Consistent 1.5-1.6. I hate the car being a dog from a dig, even with my AWD.
Scatpack is the faster car no doubt, but I’d still go with a Stinger just because of how classy and sporty it looks. Plus the Challenger is pretty overrated and is turning into what the mustang is in that everyone has one.
I was driving a few weeks ago and a car was on my tail, and I didn't recognize the headlights, sure enough, it was a Stinger keeping up with me, I drive several cars but this day it was a Dodge, surely and slowly I am seeing more of them. I think my wife would like it, the warranty intrigues me.
The warranty is AMAZING.
Yeah, that 10yr/100k mi. Warranty won me over. It not the highest hp machine but the fit and finish is awesome if you like the sophisticated look over the basics dodge offered inside. A year into owning my GT2 and I’m still catching people staring wondering what type of car it is.
KIA warranty baby!
Great Video! Have wondered about the Stinger for a while now! Had no idea its price and weight were so close to the Scat Pack!! With a few mods that Stinger could upset a lot of Scats also...AWD just goes....
Yes that Stinger is a seriously nice ride ..
The Stinger he drove was the GT2 which includes more technology and specs. But the base GT( not to be confused with the GT-LINE) start at $30k with the same engine(365hp/376lbs of torque). 🙂
Sure as hell looks better than a challenger - that's for damn sure.
Love watching the motivation man.
Tuning a turbo car is easy and inexpensive when compared to a NA platform. Simething to keep in mind when most people watching this channel are probably modding their vehicles. Also a stinger will never sound as good as a hemi! Interesting vid.
I was on the I5 in my Porsche Pan 4S ...KIA was tailgating me and without going into sport mode I tried to get rid of it and couldnt. I told everyone it was the high insurance I was tired of paying, but it was the fact a KIA kept up with me going 120 MPH in a damn Porsche. No sir...it didnt beat me, but i didnt beat it either.
I've had my Stinger for just over a year now. Easily the best and overall most fun car I've owned. I live in Australia and this is the first car that I could comfortably drive from Sydney to the Gold Coast (about 850KM) in one day and not be tired at the end of the drive. It's a near-perfect family/daily driver
I've been seriously considering both of these cars, the stinger gt2 is a 3.3L twin turbo awd which will blow away almost any car short of a Mopar on the road. I have a friend who has a 2020 gt2, so far he's done a catback exhaust, new fuel injectiors, air intakes and a new tune pushing about 20 psi of boost he dyno'd 446 HP which for that car is absolutely 💯
The stinger is a fantastic platform.. love the fit and finish
@@RacerX9 intresting piece of information it was engineered by former BMW M Vice President of Engineering Albert Biermann, with design elements from the Mercedes Benz S Class and some of the drivetrain components are heavily based on the Audi A7 and some external styling elements were inspired by the Audi RS7.
These modified stingers are ngarly..!!!!
Are you sure you are not talking about spark plugs? Iv got a stinger gt2 with catback,midpipes,downpipes, spark plugs, FMIC and 3 inch charge pipes, intakes, ecu and tcu tune and I make WELL over 500whp and 550lbtq to the rear wheels. If ur friend has a jb4 boost controller terry at bms confirmed that 450hp number was wheel up, so in reality a stinger with a 400$ boost controller makes more hp and tq than a scat pack 😂
@@andrewkatkaveck7584 did you have these done under your vehicle warranty or without with??? I know most dealership will void a warranty if you do stuff to the car. I also considering get a stinger myself, also how much did you paid to get all that done to the car.
Got a 2018 stinger at 650 hp and soon putting in nos
Awesome been wanting to see this comparison
It was a fun comparison
Good video bruh! Love the channel and content. You said it was in the running? What made you go with the STI over this?
Asking for a friend 😂
That was a cool video, very interesting I love learning about all the different cars and how much horsepower they have and what they can do, always enjoy the videos, you and your family have a great Fourth of July!🇺🇸
Thanks buddy.. have a safe holiday
I like it when you say am gonna drive that scatpack down the road and tell you how it feels.. as if you don't know 😂.
I like how honest and impartial are you man. I love the challenger and will go with it any day but fully agree with how you summed it up on the Kia. The most honest and respectful youtuber out there. Keep it up Racer X.
And the widebody only made it better 😁
Quick question ....do u have mufflers on your hellcat???....cause I took the mid mufflers out and put the catless mid pipes in and left the resonators. And it's LOUD...lol! Just wondering...thanks for the vids good stuff! 👍🚨💯
what a great and true blue review. Never change your style...
I passed over a scatpack for my stinger....never looked back....they are GREAT cars
2020 stinger gt panthera metal with chameleon trim. It is a great car.
This is crazy that this video popped up on my RUclips feed today because I am literally trying to decide between these exact two vehicles. I’m just waiting on some final lease numbers from my Dodge dealer. The lease ended on my Charger R/T just over a week ago and the plan was to get into a Challenger Scat Pack. But while I was waiting for the dealer to find me one, I came across the Stinger. Everything you said was spot on about both cars and I drove them both yesterday. Still can’t decide.....
I have a 2019 GT2 AWD and love it. No other car checks so many boxes at once for a Dad who loves a good sporty car. It's not the ultimate end-all sports sedan but in terms of offering practicality with beauty, comfort with handling, power with efficiency, high-end luxury with affordability, it's basically unmatched in the entire car industry. Not kidding, find me another better car at it's price point that checks the same boxes.
I had (what I will now call) the privilege for a week of renting a “2021 Kia Stinger-GT 4WD
Red Interior” on Turo last Friday and wow! I was beyond impressed with this thing. I fell in love with this instantaneously! So much so, that I’m actually contemplating on seriously making this beauty my next purchase. Plus, since it’s a Kia, even it being one of their top of the line vehicles it still doesn’t really break the bank when it comes to the price. And after driving that car for a week I have to say I wouldn’t blame them if they raised the price another 10-15k because of the super car feel and performance it gives you when driving it! Not to mentioned all the super hi-tech accessories, from the wireless phone charger, to the full color wheel for your choice ambient lighting, snd the safety monitors that make you so much more of a confident driver when you’re on the road! I rented a 2020 Kia sedan (think it was a forte) on Turo last month which was okay, It kind of reminds me of their Honda civic while the Kia Optima would be the Accord, which reminded me of another great feature the Stinger had along with the Forte and that was ApplePlay. I only ever seen the ApplePlay feature in Kia’s so idk if they have some type of deal or patent with Apple but wow is that feature sure as hell convenient! BTW I DO NOT WORK FOR KIA! I JUST LOVED MY EXPERIENCE IN THE 2021 STINGER GT! In sports mode I felt like I was driving a 200k+ supercar! And I dusted my friend who raced me in his 2019 Camero!
BTW - Unfortunately the 2021 Kia I had rented have the normal Kia emblem on the hood. I then learned the some older models had a dope circle emblem and now all Kia’s from 2022+ have a sick new logo which goes so much better with a stinger than the normal boring old Kia logo you’d see on any of their cars
Back when I got my Charger RT, I also test drove the Kia Stinger GT. I was quite impressed by the Stinger GT. If you step on it from a dig, it pulls pretty hard. I'd say it was harder than my car when it was stock. Definitely pulls very hard when you put your foot in it. Though I would say, when driving it normally, it didn't have that throttle response which the Hemi has, even the 5.7. That is one of the things that makes me enjoy the RT a little more. But none the less, they're still great cars. I'm glad Kia has decided to come up with something cool.
If you had aother chance to drive the stinger, but this time bring the RPM up a little, the power is readily right there! especially with the turbos spooled up.
@@craignocantsorry9277 I know. I wasn't crazy about the low end compared to the Hemi, but boy, that top end. That thing pulls like a monster. lol. Definitely a fun car. Really wish I had Jay Leno or Jeff Bezos money so I could just collect cars. :D
Could not be more different but two of my favorite cars!!
I agree David
Why do you think the stinger will beat a Charger R/T? What mods could I add to beat the stinger?
Whenever I break into the engine of my RT to give it some chop the Stinger is what id like for a daily
Why wouldn’t you put it up against a charger instead?
I was actually going to but they didn't have one available. They had a used 2016 but that was not what I was going for
Mike Gee ah, we’ve found the keyboard racer.
The charger is a 4 door like the stinger and yes would be a bit more direct but hey, ya work with what ya got. Both great cars.
Smart
Yeah I was considering charger scat pack but went stinger.
I have a 2019 Mustang 5.0 and I just drove a 2020 Kia stinger with the TwinTurbo. The mustang is definitely faster on paper but 0-60 in real life the Kia stinger felt like a space ship I guess because of the awd but it’s extremely quick. They are two very different vehicles though.
The stinger might just be my next car...but Great video as always✨
The 392 Hemi is a very well optimized engine for the challenger it runs reaaally well for it's size I still want one with a 6 speed manual. Great video! :)
i just got a 18' gt2, was wondering how well itd do
So far got a Scat as a daily to get me through school but as a daily with a family Kia Stinger is hard to beat if you want to go the luxury sedan option!
Coming from a guy raised in a muscle car family, I'm a Stinger GT2 fan all the way. I bought a used one last year.
The 2022 refresh of the Kia stinger looks awesome
Quick question off topic what size converter does the scat pack have vs the rt and like kias that would have to be black if i purchase it
Ordered my 2020 challenger scatpack shaker manual with dynamics package in Frostbite. They are saying 6 weeks.
And I blame you, RacerX. You helped me understand the options and the daily realities of driving a scatpack, and I got a shaker 100% because of MrsX's scatpack.
Haha .. nice glad I could bring you over to the dark side
Just a quick heads up. Manual is a disadvantage. 6 speed VS 8 in an automatic. I'd pay a tad more to have a broader power rage and quicker shifts.
ks ks it’s not always about being faster. Although you are 100% correct no matter who is driving nobody can shift a 6 speed as fast as the auto 8. BUT, the 6 speed is much more fun in my opinion. I love my 6 speed T/A 392 and would not have nearly as much fun driving it if it were an auto.
Manual isn’t a mistake if you know how to drive and appreciate the meld between driver and car. I ordered a T/A in March didn’t get it till July.
Haha wow I live in Tyler TX and I actually inquired about that exact scat pack at clays,could you tell a difference between the scat pack with the dynamics package and mr.s x’s?
The brakes don’t feel much different but traction is definitely a little better .. 👍
Im in longview tx, just got my 2020 scatpack charger, def worth it🔥
That stinger is a great looking car and great warranty as well. Or get a tune and then that stinger will be flying
I looked at both and bought the Stinger.
Was waiting for a drag race, thats the real reason i come here😢
That V-8 rumble SOLD me; the stinger would make a nice daily though .
What’s great about the Stinger is that you can get a GT (second trim up) for 32k our the door like I did and get the same you would for a GT2 AWD! There’s no difference in driving between the both. I’m a proud owner of a 2020 Stinger after test driving a Charger RT, Audi S4, and a Honda Accord Sport, and the Stinger took the cake no problem. I absolutely love it. That 0-60 pull it has is phenomenal!
Where did you buy it from? I am looking to buy new GT as well but man that price is great.
I thinking about buying one, the GT2
@@kromahj that’ll be basically just more cosmetics but if you want that then do it!!!! Love my car!!!
@@biglugaming8378 yea, I saw it grey one, that shit was looking good
I think a comparison between the charger four-door RT scat pack in the Kia stinger GT would be a much more appropriate comparison as both have four doors at least.
Yo my man you should come over to Houston to review the 2020 challenger sxt because next year I will be purchasing one for my self
Do you know how prevalent the rust on qtr panels in front of the rear wheels on challengers is? Love your channel and plan on owning a scat challenger in the future.
I hadn't seen much of that here in Texas .. It also depends on what part of the country your from and the climate you live in
Thanks
I just picked up an awd Stinger GT yesterday. Originally had a Dodge Charger on my list but they stopped making the awd V8 back in 2014. Was looking for something I could drive all year round as I live in MN and also have a Ford ⚡ so I didn't need another rwd vehicle. Glad I went with the Stinger. New out the door was 36k. Wish I coulda found one in ceramic silver by me but it's all good. Doesn't have that awesome sounding motor like Dodge but if I wanna hear some V8 muscle plus some whine I'll pull out the ⚡
The stinger is a sweet ride as far as I'm concerned
Great video !
Thank you Mario
The stinger gt and g70 (3.3l tt) once somebody start making aftermarket turbo kits for them will easily brake 750hp at the wheels. They come with forged internals from the factory surprisingly.
Hey, RacerX-I was at Huffines Dodge Plano a few days ago talking to Drew about ordering a 2021 Challenger SRT Super Stock and he told me about your channel and showed me some pics of your awesome souped-up Charger Hellcat. It's funny, because I own both a 2016 Challenger Hellcat (Purple) and a 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD (Blue). Love both cars, but it's time for a 100hp upgrade on the Hellcat! Hope to see you around, I live in the North Carrollton area. Cheers.
Awesome stuff my friend.. It sounds like you have good taste in cars lol.. Hopefully I will catch you around
I think comparing it to an RT would of been better. The stats are much closer in regard to weight and hp.
Stinger smokes 392 just saying
There is no comparison really, the Kia out performs the Challenger on every level.
Nice video, yeah you’re right there’s something about a rumble of a true musclecar there quick little cars those stingers and the Subaru but I’ll keep my charger
Love the content! Please review a Chrysler 300S with the 5.7 Hemi against a Challenger/Charger R/T with a 5.7 to see the difference between the triplets. I think the Chrysler is focused more on luxury but it still has that Hemi grunt.
This one is actually on my short list Anthony
FCA needs a 6.4 edition 300s before they end this platform.
Used to work at kia in Fort Worth. And one time there was a Kia stinger I had to work on and when I got finished with it I had taken it to the customer and the customer was a cop, and he said did you get on that pedal I was like kinda hard not to, he said hell yeah.
LOL.. hard to know how to answer that
Was thinking About trading my scat for one of these... or 6th gen SS... Either way I need something a little lighter 🤦🏾♂️
I wish the scat was a little lighter myself
I crossed shopped the Charger scatpack with the stinger GT1 and got the Stinger. My sister in law has a 2018 charger scatpack and I drove it often', love the sound but it is too bulky for me. I love the fact that I don't see a Stinger at every street corner.
I think they are both great.. It really comes down to personal preference.
I like the look of the Challenger, but why are people telling me the dodge should come with a bus pass or Lyft app?
Have you ever did a review on the Cadillac V sport?
Stinger is my new dream car what do I add to it so I can beat challengers and chargers and camaros
I was comparing a Charger Scat Pack against the Stinger GT1. Such a tough tough tough choice to make. I desperately want that V8 grumble, but given I wanted a high performing daily driver that I will likely not spend much on modification wise as my Daily I went with the additional utility of the liftback. At some point I feel like I need both vehicles in the stable! Love the video!
Was really hoping to see the race...
I would take the Stinger every day! The fit and details are much better and yes it’s a blast to drive!
I've modded out my R/T. Exhaust cats hollowed out and high flow exhaust, resognators delete, K &N Cai, Catch can, Bkk pro series throttle body, throttle body spacer, higher flow fuel injectors, along with high flow fuel rails, a 93 tune. I raced one of the highest trim and had 2 car lengths on it at 139 mph. He never led me and hung most of the time till he spooled out. I imagine with bigger turbos it would of beaten me. But my mods made a world of difference. Go Mopar!!
Would like to see a truck comparison Dodge vs Ford F150 Shelby you do these things really well brother
Thank you my friend.. I have thought about doing some truck content as well
The Stinger comes with a 10 year 100k mile warranty, which is a huge piece of mind...What is the dodge? I own a Stinger so i'm a little bias...lol
Yes the warranty of the Kia's is amazing
They would not cover my engine that seized at 49k... It's b.s. try making a claim they'll fight it.
SWP GT1 here!
It's a sedan though.
I have a TrackHawk and love it. But my wife was wanting a new smaller sedan to replace the Avenger R/T. We go the Stinger GT1. We both love it.
The Kia Stinger GT is the car BMW used to build. Fun and engaging. Now BMW feels like you’re in a video game....this comes from a longtime BMW driver.
I drove Scat Pack Challenger/Charger, Stinger, Camaro, before picking a 19 Mustang GT last year. All great.
IF the Stinger made the fun noises the Detroit cars make, there might be one in my driveway.
Great video!!!
A house in my neighborhood has a nice gray colored Stinger parked in their drive... def looks clean and fairly mean looking from every angle.
My friend got a Telluride. It is nice! $$ and financing makes the difference, use though
Always some interesting videos keep up the great work I don’t know whether to go stinger or scat I love them both
You can go wrong with either one 👍
which one is easier to mod?
Stinger is 4.7 0-60. That’s fast. It’s a better car all around than the Scat Pack Charger. I had a 2019 scar pack.
I love them both... very different cars
Y didju choose a Challenge instead of a Charger for the comparison? They seem to be more closely aligned. I cross shopped the Charger and Stinger with a bunch of other vehicles. The ride in the Charger was really nice. Ultimately the interior trim quality & the lack of all season traction kicked the Charger out of the running.
I’ve always wanted to see a tuned, FBO, with slicks scat go against a tuned, FBO stinger.
Are scat packs safe to drive in snowy winters tho 😉
Is it full time 4 wheel drive? Another great objective video!
Yes Greg.. its all wheel drive .. all the time
Yep either 40-60 in comfort or 20-80 in sport unless you get the gts which has drift mode and can put 100% of the power to rear even though it’s AWD
my scat pack, bone stock with the dynamics package gives me the hellcat wheels & tires. When i get up to 50mph on the highway, then stab the throttle, it just spins the tires. until about 80ish. I bet the Kia can't do that (I only say that, because the price is almost exactly the same). I can't imagine how absurd the power level is in your modded Hellcat. 100 mph burnouts would be a little nerve racking. LOL
Also, I'm a big fan of the notched spoiler and I'm so glad I got one when I did, Looks like the Notched spoiler is less common and I personally think it looks better than the SRT spoiler. What do you think?
The scat pack looks menacing how's the fuel economy?🤔
