I actually run a verified 2018 Mustang GT two days ago, I had him by roughly 2 car lengths when i let off at ~125 mph, and was steadily pulling.. I was shocked.

Best sleeper ever, it will definitely cash the check on its looks. I'm thinking I could easily make some extra change at the local 1/4 mile strip lol.

Put on the Optima badge and most people won't even know the difference.[raceflag]

Yeah I caught two sport bikes a sleep at light with no traffic in front of us on an expressway. Punched it through 1 st and second. They had no idea what happened until I let off and they both went screaming by. Hilarious.

Now that is impressive, we talking like 600cc rice rockets?

Yeah smaller sport bikes 600cc . I just surprised them as they very quickly caught me but was funny as I don?t think they expected a Kia to be so fast. My windows were open so could hear them hesitate and then rev motors wildly. Would have been interesting to keep my foot in it. I love the Stinger as it accelerates with no drama so accelerating to speed limit is fun.

I can confirm that we can beat Mustang GTs (at least 2017 and earlier models) from a roll as well. Just had a little fun on my lunch break. It was not a close race.

EDIT: I was running a RaceChip on efficiency mode at the time - Probably relevant information.

On a pull from 65-110, I had him by a length and a half. I'm not a Mustang expert, but based on how quiet his exhaust was, He was bone stock.

Yes it does! The guy's face in the Mustang as I was pulling away from him was priceless. Afterward, he drove by and gave me a big thumbs up.

Gotta love the RaceChip too.. I was running on the lowest setting (Efficiency). There's a huge difference between that mode and the top mode (Race). I feel like it would have been downright embarrassing for that Mustang driver if I had been in a higher mode.
