Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 0-60 MPH Times

[falanger]

Holy sht, remind me to never go to seattle or at least nowhere near the tork motorsport cult compound. Clearly something in the air/water up there.

That is a ripping 0-60 time from Kagander but I've never seen a Stinger that doesn't show the Gs drop for the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift. I'm very very very very suspect. The turbo spool is also very slow, also un stinger like. This is going in the hoax bucket for me.

Sad you’re always so negative when it comes to friendly competition and can never give props where it’s due.

If you actually look it does have G drops around 30 & 50mph just like you and almost every other Stinger. The difference is that his graph is out of 3g acceleration not just 1.5g like yours so the drops look much less significant, but they are there and at same mph as most Stingers. And it’s not slow turbo spool, it’s slightly spinning all 4 tires around 5-10mph.

Next time you should take the defeats gracefully and give fellow Stingers props instead of making up conspiracy theories that are easily proven wrong.

But congrats on your new venture and hope you have better luck holding onto your records than you could here.

Lesson for the toddlers....
The little orange line is Gs. The Stinger does the 1-2 shift about in the middle of the 0-60. All Stingers show a drop in Gs during shifts. Only dual clutches shift fast enough not to show a drop. End of toddler lesson

Wow. Your description literally defines you. You are being a hypocrite(toddler) and showing that you are blind when it comes to reading dragys.

If you can’t see that the Gs on a 3g acceleration graph are half what they are on other graphs you’re just oblivious. Look again and you will see the same G dips around 30 & 50 like every other Stinger(FYI-it will be half since you cant hit 1.5 Gs on launches)

It looks like the 1-2 shift is here which is way way beyond the stinger redline


And to compare shift times, here is a dual clutch around the same 0-60 times.
This is a 7 speed dual clutch. The Kanganader looks like a 6 or 7 speed dual clutch with a big laggy turbo or NA.

Wow you’re so desperate to try not to be embarrassed it’s truly sad.

I’ll try to make this as detailed as possible so you and your nonbelievers can understand. If you can’t see the same G drop(3g vs your 1.5g) around 30 and 50mph just like every other Stinger you’re just in denial. SMH.


Truly the only difference is that Kagantuned can launch hard enough to hit 1.5g so he needs a bigger chart(3g) and you barley hit 1.2g so your G drops on a 1.5g scale just look larger in comparison.

Either way your attempt at making up BS just to not look inferior is as fake news as it gets. Please just accept that and move on so you stop embarrassing yourself with this nonsense.

Why doesn't Kaga (is that his name or the business name?) just post a Dragy run on YT with the interior of the Stinger visible. He could then pull over, pop the hood, and show what the engine bay looks like. That should silence any non-believers and give him some good publicity in the process.

It’s Kagan and he already did that for the non believers. He shared a video showing the engine bay right after his 3.8 0-60 when he had no mods at all and only his stage1 tune. Haters will be haters no mater how much proof you give them.

But either way it’s irrelevant because Kato just broke that record with a 3.23 0-60 with his JB4 Stinger. Unfortunately I’m sure the “people we shall not name“ will try to make up some conspiracy about that record time too.

Decided to try to tame wheel spin with my 2019 RWD GT2. I have good tires(PS4 tires w/ < 1,000 miles). However, I spin a lot when using launch control. My previous best was 4.78 for 0-60 mph on the drag strip with 93 Octane gas.

I got a WindBooster the other day. My thought process is that I could dial back wheel spin by controlling the throttle position a little more precisely and accurately.

With launch control it just breaks loose as soon as I let off the brakes. Therefore, I decided to switch to using no launch control and traction control on with the WindBooster.

I ended up using Sport mode on the car and the WindBooster set to Sport+ on a setting of five. I just put the car in Auto hold and then I feathered the throttle a little to maintain traction. It just seemed to hook up and go like it never had before. I shaved off .19 seconds for 0-60 mph from my best run on the drag strip. I would consider that to be a significant decrease.

This was with 87 Octane gas in a stock Stinger other than the WindBooster for better throttle control with the RWD.

4.59 isn’t too bad with a basically stock Stinger is it? Is the WindBooster considered a “mod” since technically it does modify how the throttle reacts? Would you still call my car stock with the WindBooster?

Not sure what upsets me more the 87 octane or the windbooster....

 

[ZedsGT]

Why are you going wot running 87

Not sure what upsets me more the 87 octane or the windbooster....

I don't see a problem with either of them...

A 10.0 compression + boost and you think its fine for 87??

Yup and so do the engineers that made the engine. 87 required, 91 recommended. Stock boost isn't that significant and the ECU compensates. In my climate with lower ambient temps, my car tests quicker on 87 using Dragy. If it was knocking/pulling timing, it wouldn't...

Fundamentally, you want to run the least octane for a given tune. IE: If 91 octane on an aftermarket tune doesn't result in the ECU pulling timing, then you'll produce the most power vs a higher octane. The reason for this is because the lower the octane, the faster the burn and thus more power.

Octane in pump gas has nothing to do with burn rate. The difference between 87 and 93 is simply refinement and hydrocarbons. 93 is also less prone to spontaneous combustion aka knock. I have no doubt the ecu will compensate for 87; However saying 87 is better than 93 because of dragy is comical. Strap the car on a dyno and do 3 back to back runs with each fuel and the 93 will have higher numbers because the car won't need to pull timing.

"Another way to look at octane is that a lower octane number has a faster burn rate. It has a better ability to expel energy faster. A higher octane fuel slows the wave front of the combustion flame and raises the temperature at which combustion occurs."

That is a 150 hp e30 and it says you can't adjust the timing. Add boost and modern ecu the timing will be pulled. That article isn't even in the realm of modern vehicles.
