C&D: Kia Stinger GT vs Dodge Charger Scat Pack

Oh boy. Spoiler: they picked the Kia. The performance gap between these isn't as cavernous as you'd think even though the Charger put up a very good fight on paper. Which, I'll remind everyone, is why I liked the SS. It combines the more European athleticism with American muscle to create what I'd call sort of the ultimate combination of the two cars (unless you don't like the styling then, move along).

As I read and look at the specs, it occurs to me that the Kia Stinger GT is a cut-rate/discount version of the Cadillac CTS V-sport. Take a look for yourself. The overall footprint and numbers seem to stand right on top of the V-sport (which means the 365hp V6 is really overachieving). Interesting.

It is interesting to see how similar the Stinger is to the Vsport. I think there are a lot of people sitting on the sidelines waiting for the Stinger to become the greatest used car value ever. If it's actually decent, which it appears that it is, this might not happen.
