Is there a website or more info about this? And do you have to have already purchased a stinger or something to do this? Cadillac did something similar to this for the CTS-V a few years ago at COTA. I'd be totally down to go drive some more cars for free if there is one near Austin.

Originally they sent out the invitation page vie e-mail to people who had subscribed for Stinger updates, but I found this page: https://www.kia.com/us/en/content/why-kia/partnerships/stinger-events
They're already several locations into the tour but you can see if it's near you and if someone cancelled a reservation they could have an open spot.

Only OEM 70's-90's delta wheels look good. I haven't seen a good aftermarket one that wasn't a reproduction

Im assuming the wire wheels dont do it justice in that picture because they look hosed up. i will say that does look quite tasty though if the wheels are straight and true IRL

the 4.2-litre in-line six-cylinder engine features three 2-inch SU carburettors from the E-type – Nicko’s favourite set up.

I fail to see a problem with this :colbert:

Would I have put a modern engine in there? Probably. But Nicko wants old-school Jag motive power with carbs, and he's the boss.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Crewing for my friend's Audi Coupe Quattro. Ended our day a little early after running really strong. Zero compression on cylinders 1-2, likely the headgasket split between cylinders since there's no water in the oil.

Might be there next year as a driver :dance:

Sorry to hear about that. I'm far too familiar with days ending early...

That's awesome. You should definitely do it if you can, it's so much fun. Do you have a car (and build thread) already?

EDIT I assume because it's so choice otherwise, but are those square-tipped exhaust pipes OEM? That's a neat detail.

No, they're aftermarket. I think.


Khyzyl's photochops are amazing.
For the record, that's an FC RX-7 oil cooler on the front. Seems like everyone uses those on their bozu.


Agreed. Bonus points if it's either a V12, or a SBC/LT1/LSx.
One of these days I'll do a XJ-V8

You can say "stance" without invoking Stance Nation idiots.
On the fence about 3-spokes. I used to like them a lot, particularly the Advan variant, but not so much now.

Dammit. Somehow I missed the Dallas event. And I signed up for info on the Stinger when it was announced!

Depends on engine rotation. The Chevy flat-six is behind the transaxle, like a VW.
The Tribeca engine would probably be a hoot, too. EZ30, I think?
Be pretty cool for one of those to actually be able to move quickly. Have to figure out somewhere to put a radiator with the Scooby engines, though.
