Top Gear had responded and confirmed for the timed runs they prepped the batteries and used launch control in Ludacris mode.

Show we where a Model S is running mid 10's on street tires on a non-prepped surface.

Still waiting for that example of Porsche exaggerating performance numbers....

Provide one example of where Porsche has ever exaggerated performance numbers. I'll wait...

The Tesla only went 10.6 on a prepped drag strip which is waaaay stickier than regular pavement like what Top Gear tested on.

“So, I’ll restate my original rebuttal: The stinger offers nothing that can’t be found elsewhere.” 

Sorry, you've moved the goal posts so many times I can't tell what point you're trying to make so I'll restate my original comment: nothing that competes with the Stinger is available with manual.

Dodge, Infinity and Lexus are all ancient (more than a decade since the platform launch) and don’t have the tech and features you get on the Kia. You can not get the same features so it’s and apples to oranges comparison.

It also does stand out....being hilariously cheap compared to any other RWD sport sedan with similar equipment.

The OP was upset you can’t get a manual.

Even drop the HP requirement and simple specify “sporty” sedan and the options are still pretty much non-existent.

Out of production since 2018. Another one is coming but we have no idea when and it may not have a manual.

Oh, and the Taurus SHO was not RWD.

None of those cars are currently in production. 

Out of production for 2 years now. You haven't been able to buy a new one since before the stinger came out.

It’s not a “high performance car” is a sporty sedan. That is all KIA ever marketed it to be.

True, but R&T got the absolutely top spec that will be available at launch.

I agree with everything you said except “It became famous, but only among gearheads.” 

How so?

There was 6 feet and as many crew members and officials in between them when this moron decided to be a hero and get involved.
