    What i'm seeing is the US mags and Vlogers do all kinds of things to get hero times, including using Rollout activated in their VBox's, messing with tyre pressures etc.

    In reality i think we'll see closer to mid 4's for a 10 speed GT, amazing in itself for a NA engine and half a second faster than the MY17.

    Silly buggers, a bit of weight in the boot and a lower octane fuel will accomplish all that and more

    That was unexpected. AWD grip combined with loads of low end torque is always going to be very hard to beat off the line. Reminds me of the WRX’s.

    Kia have really created an really impressive package, no question. That said, I would take the mustang every day of the week if for nothing else than its sound and style.

    I get the distinct feeling Kia left the ESP settings alone for the RWD version.

    The RWD car isnt a nice thing on the limits apparently.
