Kia Stinger vs RS6

[dvinell]

= not a great result for the Stinger.

For starters I was in the wrong gear.
I could see that the car in front of the de-badged RS6 was about to pull over: what I should have done is hit the paddles and dropped a couple of gears first.

Instead, the gearbox dropped a gear, then decided "Oh No" and dropped another gear resulting in lots of revving, lots of gear changes, and finally some acceleration.
By this time the RS6 had gained several car lengths.

I did catch up, but only because the RS6 eased off.

Damn

Don't let that get you down! Every spec on that car is better than ours, including the gas mileage. But for all that you would pay twice as much as you did too. I would have caught up and just smiled, maybe hold up your wallet and grin or something.

RS6 debadged......probably a tuned one. In general that’s 730 hp.

Yeah, that's a BEAST to start with, let alone a tuned one. Sorry, but you lost that one just thinking about it!!
