Would you be happier in a KIA?

Maybe he does but he also knows your average cammed Commodore can't stop or turn.

VN S1, VT S1, VZ Alloytec, VE S1 were all fundamental firsts and arguably pretty average to completely crap overall. They got better though, heaps better.

If the Stinger only gets better, faster and stays affordable I can see potential. Factor in Korean mass production aftermarket upgrades and you might have 50% the cost for 90% the performance. Mustangs have caught on and the Camaro is coming. The world has changed.

Maybe your Commodore doesn't stop or turn but plenty do, and do it well.

A slow faster than your car car.

On the internet chats never end.
Well, some people complain Commodores don’t stop...some paint their brakes...

Some have real ones.

Keep trying.

Hahaha you seem hurt. I don't make the rules but your car is every second car in most Commodore clubs. It's nice but it's an average dunnydore with a cam and 4 pots. Difference between you and I though is I'm happy to admit it.

A shame you're in qld but I'll still invite you to join me at Sydney Raceway in August. My shout on to the track. I'll show you some fast fast cars and you can put your money where your mouth is.

Stops better now...

I doubt anyone would consider a cammed Redline 'average'... Kia is for hairdressers.

What a limited view...
Kia badge still lacks street cred but stinger is starting to change that..

No, I think it’s amazing...just not the holy grail...people talk it up online, in magazines...but every test is the forced induction Kia v NA Commodore? Why not put it up Flagship v Flagship, GTS LSA?

It’s about as impressive as the new Opeldore to me.

My diesel Jeep has more bells and whistles.

You might think my view is limited, but I’m just not as astounded by this car.
