Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 0-60 MPH Times

[Ritz]

No meth for me. Too exotic.
The rest of this run resulted in a 11.66 at almost 120.

I don't know about exotic, but it's too much of a pain in the rump for a daily driven car. I would imagine that you've got to fill the tank every time you fill the gas tank. Kinda like the urea goo for new diesels but with more frequent visits to refill the reservoir.

Not really. Unless you drive with Meth running all the time. If you are using a JB4 just use map 8 when you want and go back to your normal daily maps that wont use meth.

Good Lord, man! How could anyone do such a thing? Have all the oomph under the hood, but have it turned off? Only for the valet.

Cheers!

lol when it's below 50F I can't get any traction on our RWD even on the stickier tires. AWD has it's advantages.

Struggle is real Terry.... Are you still working on traction mods?

Have something in production here that will help.

I'm running 225 width tires right now, it's comical how easy it is to spin them. Might be a little bit different with my 305 width sport cup 2's that just got delivered

Should I email you my payment info?

You have a '18 with an open diff right? Slicks won't help much if you're only using one wheel.

Did it run ok on "E"? I've been afraid to go below 1/8th.
And no traction issues at 16 degrees?

Runs much better on a full tank

Ran just fine I think it said 4 miles to go and I tried a couple short runs on the way to the gas station. Then she read zero. Didnt realize I had almost ran a quarter mile, check the trap on this 1/4 I found on dragy after the fact. shoulda stayed in it.

Looks like you were heading for an 11.80 based on your 1000 foot.

 

[Get Stung]

As far as traction at these temps it can be a little tricky. Sometimes I'll launch and haze them then the nannies kick in. But all that does is clean em up and throw a little heat in them. At which point I try again and she hooks and goes.

Normally not a big issue as long as you don't break traction on the one wheel.

But if you're on the one wheel with an open diff, you've already lost traction. I can't understand why Kia thought it was a good idea to offer this car in RWD GT trim with an open diff to begin with at all, and apparently they only pulled that crap in the US, and only for MY18 cars. I think there's a fair bit to be gained with a limited-slip off the line here.

New 0-60 and 1/8 records. Tried an e15 mix and seemed to help over my pure gas plus lucas.
