I've been in a modded GR86, and it's wicked. So unless they have some good mods coming out for this thing, I'd rather get GR and put the time and money in it. I think I would've been happier if they just made it look even more retro like the 240z. That would've totally sold me, power or not. Props to the 4 door stinger. Impressive.

    Looks like the Z needs wider and stickier rear tires, which would fix the launch traction problem. As a Maxima Special Edition owner I can relate to the difficulty the Z maintaining traction off the line ... honestly I'm not sure if any high power stock Nissan that isn't the GT-R doesn't have that problem. You can see the Z absolutely smokes the Stinger in the 2nd gear rolling race. Also, mad props to Nissan for the VR's engine noise and exhaust note. My VQ singing is still one of my favorite sounds.

    Sam, just buy a Stinger already, since they're discontinuing them. Best Car all around. Z might be a wee bit quicker, but overall every day car, man, Stinger is the car you're not going to regret, oh is a rough ride, or not enough room, etc... and lets not forget, even without a tune and crazy mods, just little mods, like I did on mine (drop in K&N filters, snorkels & lower gap plugs, thats it), you can get .3 secs. faster 1/4 mile, to give the little extra, and then there's tunes and mods that blow the Stinger past cars that are already super tuned from factory and dont have as much play aftermarket

    OMG my two favorite cars right now!! No one is doing drags with cars you can realistically buy, but Sam Car Legion ‼️💯
    Edit: Stinger has about 500lbs on the Z, and -32hp. That AWD hooks up and it's decently fast. Like they said, it's in a different category. Sportback vs Sports Car (5 seater vs 2 seater coupe).
    Firstly, if you start to Frankenstein some mods to the Stinger, they've proven to be robust up to 420-500hp (not to mention carbon fiber weight reduction) . It's got a big ceiling for improvement.
    Secondly, the Z needs better tires. There's no getting around that, but being a Nissan, the aftermarket is going to be extremely plentiful. (Smokey Nagata is already cooking up some magic.) They were smart to use the TT V6, because I think with just a tune and some tires it could definitely start punching up in sport's car brackets.

    I run these Potenzas in 18" on my MKIV Supra with only about 500whp. They're comparable to PS4S I ran prior from a roll with obviously neither giving traction from a dig. I need 15" M/T Street Rs WITH a burnout AND prepped dragstrip surface for that. IMO, the Zs traction issue appears to be with its LSD or complete lack of any LSD in the base model. Regardless, expecting any higher hp RWD car to get perfect traction from a dig on non R-Comp tires is delusional, especially with an open differential.

    The stinger is definitely a little underrated, people just hate it so much because it’s a Kia (ehem, VW audi fan bois). However it’s just too damn heavy even in its own segment it’s still on the heavier side. And ive always been a Z fan ever since the 350 era so good to see these two cars racing together.

    One of the reasons a stinger did so well on the second drag is because he let the boost build for three or four seconds. There was another owner that proved if you lunch after only a second or two you launch way weaker than letting it build boost for 3-5 seconds.

    I've had my 2018 launch month Stinger GT RWD all this time. (and for those who don't know: YES there is a RWD Stinger trim. It's the base model GT with the 3.3L. The only difference between the GT and GT1 is the drivetrain and some things like a bigger infotainment screen, and I think a Harmon Kardon sound system.). I love it and have beaten cars you wouldn't believe. I'm not going to specify them because people give me heck for it and think I am full of crap. I have ran an AWD yellow ed. Stinger, though, and we tied. So even though everyone on RUclips keeps using AWD Stingers for races they are accurate for both drivetrains, in a straight line, and in clear weather. I'm not surprised the Stinger out does the Z in a straight.
