I had a 2015 and a 2018 SHO. Both were leased. If Ford didn't discontinue the Taurus I would have leased another.

So after extensive research I ended up leasing a 2022 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD Scorpion Edition. All reviews in respected automotivepublications where absolutely positive. She is powered by a 3.3L twin turbo V6 - 368hp and 375ft lbs torque. 4.6 second 0-60. She rips rear wheel bias. Gearing is 3.56 - very responsive throttle when in Sport mode and it has valved exhaust when it Sport mode.

Live in da WI - it blows me away that ot many people know what a Kia Stinger is. Kinda a pain when filling up at the gas station - lots of folks ask - what kinda car is that. She is a great looking car IMHO.

nice cars, there are after market parts out there for them. now after my exhaust was done I ran into one, I ate the stinger without more than downpipes, we were door and door for the first maybe 1/8th then i pulled away hard when turbo was boosting me. I didnt do a boosted takeoff, it was a glance last second, before the light changed.

Ive stomped stingers in my SHOs and my ExSTs. Easy pickings, and no disrespect intended, it's a KIA.

Yeah - some of the Stinger forum folks have commented on the SHO and how fast they can be. But....there are some 500 AWHP Stingers out there. Burger Motorsports is currently building a Stinger and their goal is 800 AWHP. I will say that the stock Stinger GT2 will womp a stock SHO. First thing I noticed when I got my Stinger was better throttle response and the rear wheel bias with a 3.56 gear just gets up and goes. Butt dyno says Stinger is quicker than my previous SHOs.

I was Kia adverse as well - then I read many reviews on the Stinger. All I found were positive reviews and from reputable publications like Car & Driver, Road & Track, etc. See Doug Demuros YouTube review - he bought a Stinger for daily driving duties. Do miss the SHO I admit but love my Stinger.

Also consider that some Stingers are GT line models that have either a 2.0L turbo V4 (2018 2021My) or a 2.5L V4 turbo. 2022 & 2023 MY. Hard to tell what ur racing against in a stoplight to stoplight Gran Prix scenario. I will say that IMO a stock GT1 or GT2 Stinger (3.3L Twin Turbo V6) will beat a stock 4th gen SHO.

you are more than likely correct and so true, my guy was a GT, more than likely a 2023.
