Kia Stinger GT vs S5 SB drag race

Doesn't matter now; Stinger is cancelled.
I love how Audi keeps copying the competition in areas where they were better than the competition. The 3-series cup holders suck, so hey let's copy them. The Stinger touch screen sucks, so hey let's copy them. It's like Audi product planning is being run by the competition.

took pulls from a standstill a couple of times against a stinger gt. first time I let him get confident as I didn't two foot launch the car with all the nannies off. second time he didn't stand a change and got butthurt. having a much heavier convertible I imagine the sportback should beat the stinger each and every time... granted you don't have a bad tank of gas, cannot drive, etc.

Don't forget slapping piano black all over the interior. Audi has been moving towards more gimmicky and disposable interiors over the past few years rather than the more timeless, classy design they were previously known for.

I love the A5 cup holders! I can picture a German engineer saying, "We gave you Americans two cup holders like you asked, but we'd really prefer you not actually put a drink in them." 😄

They always make me take a second look as well. My neighbor has two of them (that flat gray (sort of like Nardo) and a bright orange one). He doesn't have any Kia badges on them, so most people probably have no idea what they are.

At the time it was. He had maybe an intake or some other crap he thought added a bunch of HP. Now it is tuned and the dude would be taken to gapplebees, granted he hasn't turned the boost up significantly from stock on his car.
