2020 Stinger Rumors

[westcoastGT]

Only 10hp increase on the 3.3L. Not a lot.

They did say that they believe its understated , like our 3.3 !

 

[ZyroXZ2]

An increase in displacement equates to even more moddability, and apparently they also increased maximum fuel delivery pressure and moved to a liquid intercooler. The 3.5TT may very well mod to 600HP with bolt ons.

I beleive it is quoted as 375 HP ...................Hyundai Upgrading Engines 3.3L to 3.5L Turbo and 3.0 V6 to Inline 6 Diesel - Korean Car Blog

That is nothing, should be at least 400 HP otherwise it is not even worth changing the engine

read the article , it has several upgrades beyond HP

 

[Regs120]

Yeah ok

10.5 liters! Kia is already bored trying to compete with BMW and has moved right along to Bugatti I see

 

[JVsGT]

Yes, because the A/S Michelins are either speed rated V or W. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus is rated at 149 MPH, which would be a "V" speed rating. I doubt that Kia would limit the A/S at exactly the tire's speed rating; so whatever A/S 19" Michelins the Stinger has must be "W" rated (168 MPH) to be on the safe side.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 + tires I just bought are Y rated at up to 186mph.

There are two variations of the A/S 3+, if I remember right. W and Y. I vaguely remember looking at this when I put them on my Vette. (great tires, though!)

Yup, and my point is, the Michelin A/S tires I bought are Y rated to 186mph, just like the Michelin 4S tires that came stock. I know the 4S tires are grippier because they are summer tires but going with these A/S tires do not affect the speed rating at all.

I see that now. Thanks for the correction.

After seeing the new K5/Optima online, I hope the next generation Stinger interior looks just as good.

I’m hoping the 2021 update includes some of the exterior design elements. The front end looks good.

So many rules on each colour.

Weird. Ceramic Silver was offered in the 2019 GT1 trim. I wonder if Kia is trying to push the GT2 line?

I don't get the Federation Orange as a nearly $5,000 usd option for the GT1. If that's the case, I might as well opt for the GT2 trim.

True but, that orange is sweet.

Aw, you quoted me before I edited.

I was wrong. The Federation Orange is only available for the GT2 trim. But I agree, the orange is sweet. I saw it in person and it was an eye-catcher.

So your in the market for a Stinger?

No, I already have a Stinger. I was just speaking hypothetical.

Oh, you have a GT2?
