Stinger vs Mustang GT 10spd vs Challenger 392 WB

The Stinger GT continues to hold its own against the big V8 contenders.

I would love to throw my Stinger in just for shits and giggles but Sam lives in Canada. He did feature a tuned Stinger at one point.

Meh, AWD launch sending all of the power down at first is the real reason and not all that impressive, as shown at the end where the other cars are pulling on it. It is arguably funner to have the power in the range of the stinger and be able to put that down, but the rear wheel drive dynamics of a properly sorted mustang are also pretty fun. Passing and rolling acceleration tests are a little bit more indicative of real-world IMO.

Depends where you spend your time driving, I'm more often city driving versus freeway, so beating just about everything from light to light is more useful than rolling freeway acceleration runs up to illegal speeds. I'd always prefer to be faster to 60 versus 60-100mph.

That's why the EVs are winning.

Surprised Stinger did that well honestly. Was going to chalk it up to weather, where it would have an advantage when things get colder. Not sure if the Mustang and Challenger had summer tires.

However judging by Sam's attire it most have been mild weather when they did the recording.

That wise man probably hasn't done an autoX yet against a TeslaM3P.

- gets dusted by a rs3 with a mild tune

I'm not a fan of EV's, but I won't go into that. It's an excellent idea, I just don't believe we are ready for it to be full scale.

Nope, RS3 has nothing on the instant acceleration.

No idea what you're smoking lol On instant acceleration? On a dig.. an rs3 with a tune would kill a m3p.

Ive been racing against the m3ps at Autocross for a few years now. IDK if you are talking strip or track, but on autoX tracks, the acceleration between turns is unmatched…there is nothing that revs up or delivers power that fast. There are some good cars that accelerate fast, but they still don’t match up.

I thought I saw an older video that has a Stinger vs a 392 challenger & a 392 Charger and it looses to both cars. How does this Stinger win some against this Challenger and a 10 speed Mustang?

Yep that happened in an older video.

I think this new video can be chalked up to different drivers and possibly tires. Who knows how worn the tires are on the Mustang and Challenger here. The Stinger was only winning from dig, which will especially punish bad launches on RWD vehicles with (possibly) worn tires.
