You forgot to say that when depressing the gas pedal, you should do so all the way to the floor until you feel a "click" in the pedal. And also you should wait 2 seconds before releasing the brake pedal in order to build turbo boost pressure for optimal results. Otherwise, great advice. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome I just purchased a 2021 gt2 AWD. It has 84 miles on it. I just installed the cat back exhaust, k&N typhoon intake and I'm currently waiting for my chip. Good luck everyone with there car. Drive safe.
You cant fake that smile. Pure driving pleasure.
Just picked up my 2020 Stinger GT AWD limited a couple days ago and I’ve learned how to use most of the features from your videos. So thanks for all the info and man am I loving this ride so far 😎
Just got one yesterday. When I did this it caught me so off guard. My heart was pounding. More than pleasantly surprised at how much fun I’m having with this car.
Just ordered my black with red nappa GT Limited in Canada today, same with E badge package, tinted windows, 2 layers of ceramic coating....can't wait! Keep up the great videos!
Awesome video, can’t wait to try launch mode! Got a 2020 Stinger GT2 just over a week ago and I’m in love with the car! So much fun to drive! First thing I did was change out all the Kia badges with the E badges. Looks so much better! 👍🏻
Very informative and I love that you care about safety
Had mine a week (2nd hand 12,000miles) and not had chance to launch it yet. Been really wet here in the UK (when isn't it). This thing is quick without LC! But everyone knows/expects it to be quick. What I surprised me was how quick this thing goes in-line, like 50-70/80+.
Thanks for the info I plan on haveing a Stinger in the future!!
Nice video! I just got my 2020 Stinger GT Limited, i love it :-)
Waiting for my stinger to get in! I got the red interior too! So clean!
Look at that smile! The look on your face is the perfect blend of fun and fear. Dang, I shoulda watched this before test driving because I never found launch control, just brake torqued.
Excellent job in explaining that my brother.
I just subbed cuz you care about safety. Very informative video!
Great vids Ron
Great video. Loved the sound of the cicadas. We have them in Australia also
Well done, sir! I just got a 2020 GT2 and figuring out new things constantly. These cars should be $70-100k

Good to see having some fun and enjoying your Stinger :)
I only have 400 miles on mine, I’ve floored it a couple times but didn’t red line it, I do notice the front in really lifts up from a dead stop which is bad ass , I can’t wait to launch control tho
Just picked up my 2019, its RWD, I absolutely am loving it.
Lover the Stinger smile :) I get it every time I drive My 2022
Very importach informator here, thanks dude
Thanks dude right now I know how to do that .
Just found your channel and subscribed. I am watching all your Kia stinger videos before I get mine. Just wondering where you got the E badges for the front and rear of the car?
I noticed, once you see the launch ready sign, you really have to wait exactly 3 secs. to release the brake. if too early it'll not build much boost yet and if you wait to 4 sec. or more, it backtracks and reduces boost, for safety of the system.. so it's so tricky... count to 3, but not as fast as he did in video. slower for actual 3 secs. and if you see the boost meter move up, I guess that's good enough too. it's finicky this way.
Nice learned a lot watching this ! All started as i saw a 420 hp stinger on youtube now i want to do mine lol
How do u get your light to do that at 1:11
Also should have mentioned to push the boost button that is under the accelerator. You put your foot all the way down and there is a button to push further for an extra boost
Thank you.
Hi Ron, certainly looked impressive, but I do struggle with this as I don't really know why or when it would need to be used. lovely car though, I hope you are enjoying it....
Its probably subjective on what you would use it for. Maybe racing, maybe having a bit of fun, maybe showing off. Maybe all 3 lol. Thanks as always Fred!
Thanks man great video! Did you do the badge swap by yourself or did u ask a shop near u?
good video ty
when you have your foot on the brake and you say to put your foot on the gas. do you push the gas pedal all the way to the floor before releasing after the 3 seconds ?
My roommate has one that's pretty modded up, it's supposed to be doing a bit over 500HP. I wonder if he knows it has LC. I also wonder if the drag radials will grab or just go up in smoke.
How much was it to get the E badges modified on
For the not as balling people out there without the GT, the (2019, and i would assume 2020) 2.0T Stinger has launch control as well. Same steps. Gonna be a full second and half slower if you're running stock but fun all the same.
I too have the Snow White Perl 🙌🙌🙌❤️
How do you change your rpm setting for launch mode
Picking up my gt2 scorpion edition tomorrow
I just got a 2021 and it’s bad ass! Coming from a Lexus owner for years, I finally feel I got a car that I always wanted the Lexus to be. GS350 is a great car and is more quiet, but the Stinger GT is a much better all around car.
Ditto, just got mine to 700 miles, can't wait to pass 1000. I've ALWAYS been a V8 car guy but damn, I don't have to tell you, this car is it!
it is neccesary wait the 3 seconds with pedal acceleration to active launch control???
Where did you get the E logos to replace the Kia ones?
Great stuff Ron. That Stinger is such a cool car. My local dealer just got in 4 GT2 Stingers just the way I would want it. Ceramic silver with Red interior. If my Corvette gets delayed I will have to get a Stinger in December.
Do you know when the 2020 Kia Stingers will be announced?
Thank you! Have you gotten a chance to drive one yet?! Im assuming they will start to arrive by October. No official news yet but I'll have those on camera as well as 2020 Maserati's and Alfa's!
Rons Rides I have not driven a Stinger yet. I didn’t want to waste the dealer’s time since I can’t get out of my current car just yet.
Just got one MY20 in Neon Orange. It's a beaut! Sydney, Oz
Why does it look like you're looking above the camera lense vs. at it (and us)?
Just got mine yesterday!😭
What if you go in launch mode but you want to get out. How would you do that?
Should launch control be a feature in every sports coupe and sedan or is it irresponsible to have?!
Yes, launch control should be an option. 🙂
I like the way you think James!
Where did you get your E badges and do they just go over the stock ones?
You can actually get them on Amazon, but just Google "Kia Stinger Badge." You will need to take the existing ones off.
This feels like putting a cheat code for gta Lmfaooo
I'd like to see someone with a draggy check the difference between launch control and just flooring it. I don't think there is much of a difference
Launch control - I'm wrestling with that too... I'll text it to see if it functions. My Fast-Furious days are done. Love the GT cruise attributes of the car... What's the name of the music at the end of the vid?
Haha I know same, I dont drive as fast or reckless as I used to but its fun to really hit it every once in a while. The music is a Battle Grounds remix from the video game.
Build a diy boost launch harness and that car takes off like a rocket. My 0 - 60mph is In the 3 second range.
My man, beautiful car! How did you get the “E” badges? Did they come standard when you bought the car? I thought those said “Kia”? Really appreciate the feedback.
MJ Dukes Korean variations all have the logo E on them, whilst other non Korean versions brand the normal Kia badge.
Nelson Song that makes sense. Thank you sir!
@@bobbypie169 So can you order those for US?
@@brandonrose7824 yes, go on ebay.. Kia stinger logos and you'll see diff varieties
Bone stock stingergt2 with a cracked differential. Waiting for warranty coverage from kia.
How do you get the lights to flicker like that ? I just bought a 2020
That's the camera recording the leds bro beans.
Ryan M ok thanks bro ! Love the videos keep doing ya thing
My GT2 AWD rarely lets me do launch control . I have been able to do it maybe twice. every other time the revs just go up to around 5k rpm and doesn't activate launch control. Super annoying
You can't half ass it mate. I was playing around with my Stinger and if you do everything else but don't press the gas all the way it doesn't engage... also try making sure the autostop/start button is off (orange light visible)
@@choyoung7432 I do floor it.. it just is inconsistent
Did you rebadge yourself or did you have someone else do it?
Ron, ur Stinger will go faster than 4.7 seconds from 0-60, it will go like 4.3 but on premium gas ofc, my car can easily do 4.2/4.3 sec from 0-60
That’s dope to know! I do put premium in my Stinger so that shaves off some time!
absolutely it does make diffrence
Quick for a heavy car... We are running Scat Pack territory!
I dont know how is the turbo lag in Stinger but in my car is virtually none existent, man it spools almost instantly every time
@@abt4702I have a GT1 so you can put 87 in the vehicle? That scares me for some reason
How did you change your badges? I know you lease your car. Does that present a problem when you turn it back in?
No it should not be an issue when turning the car back in..
How old is your Stinger? Mine is a month old with 2000 miles on it
Mine just hit a month old a few days ago!
Does it work with 2018 Stinger GT?
Have you tried it? I tried but feels like it just jerks when I press on gas
Did the Stinger feel faster than your old Maserati?
It’s hard to say because with the Masi you got the sound and aggressiveness that made it feel faster than what it was compared to the quiet smoothness of the Stinger
I think my stinger is overturned from the factory...it spins like crazy from a dig.
Get an awd .Problem solved.
They are right auto mode shifts early.
Loveee my 2021 Stinger❤️🤙 nothing better then an average Mom smoking all the teenagers in town 🤣🤣
That's turning off stability control holding the button. That what keeps the car going straight. Only pulls power if car slides more than like 5 or 10°
Dude needs a ride in my Hellcat, my wife's GT2 while fun is like half cocked compared to my Hellcat.
Great job Ron! I'm at 1600 miles. Utah tint and all weather formats. I may do a front lip spoiler but no other mods planned. I will switch out tires before winter to some Continental Extreme Contact DWS06...
Thanks Earl! I want to do so much but I think my first major mod will be a new exhaust. I need to hear this thing cackle lol.
I personally thing it needs to rev a little higher when launching....but I'm sure Kia has purposely done that for reliability reason.
Yeah they dont want to be a fault if something went wrong via high revs.
I don’t have any of those emblems and I have the same exact car😭😭😭
Do u have awd or regular
I have the rwd model 🚗
@@RonsRides What's truly impressive is how well the RWD models launch without excessive wheel spin. So you did not mention....what were your 0 - 60 times?
Right! A part of that has to do with the conditions I mentioned in the video so it all works out with the right tires/pressure, pavement, weather etc. I honestly didnt may attention to the times. Just focused on not dying lol. i need to vmax them next time.
What would be interesting is to see which Stinger will launch and get to 0-60 faster...the RWD vs. AWD Stinger GT. The RWD has the slight weight advantage, while the AWD has, well, AWD in its favor.
@@JamesSarino Agreed, but from all the tests and reviews I've read (and I think I've seen them all, lol) There is virtually no difference when conducted in "good" conditions. The advantage the AWD has is only when road surface conditions are less than good. IMO AWD is not worth the weight and complexity UNLESS you live in a climate that frequently experiences foul weather. Most reviews also point out that the RWD model feels of course lighter and more maneuverable and controllable at the limit than AWD models both on the track at the limit and on the road. Unfortunately, I have no first hand experience to substantiate their claims....YET!
Getting the base Gt next year don’t feel like the gt1 or 2 are worth it
Depends on what you want out of the vehicle but either way you'll be getting good value for your money.
Rons Rides i don’t like too much electronics in the car. I know the base gt is just missing mainly the sunroof electronic suspension, but I hate those shift by wire gear selectors. Hoping to get a 2019-2020 gt for around 36$ think above 40 is too much.
@@ITALYRS Only the GT2 is shift by wire. I think the GT1 is the perfect balance.
I had the GT base.... trust me.. the GT 1 is worth the extra dollars... the blind spots in the GT are challenging.. and the extra tech in the GT1 will help out ... plus the upgraded stereo, sun roof, and larger screen ... you'll wish you had..
سبَك 😄

Please look at the camera mate, not the screen :P
My employee Matt has had my cars at over 180. Why not me you say? I am an attorney, I can get him out of jail :-)
Hahaha well if I need a get out of jail free card I know who I'm calling =)
Good luck hitting 180 with fpace or a ghibli
Good luck with 180 in a ghibli or f pace s
My McLaren you have to roll up to activate launch.
I would love the launch one of those Chris!
There’s no such thing as a break in period, trust me your car has been launched and redlined before it even seen 20 miles 😂

Awd or nothing brother
ugh 8 minutes long video about how to do a launch control.. you could at least give us a time when you start doing it man
Sorry bro but Kia stinger isn’t attractive enough for me to watch. I bought my alfa because of your channel and reviews of giulia. Stinger is just not cutting it. Good luck with your Kia. Tc Ron.
Thanks!
Lmao yes broken indeed, you win the bet.
