2022 Genesis G70 3.3T races Audi S4

[Beefer]

Stinger is 300 lbs heavier and slower to 60 by 0.3 seconds.

The Stinger doesn't have a more aggressive launch. They are the same. I've done more than enough testing and research to know.

Hence why magazine testing is so sporadic. The testing numbers change from test to test; even from the same magazine.

I stand corrected.

Audi, BMW and MB tend to have more aggressive launch control than the G70/Stinger. I believe Genesis limits power which reduces stress and extends component life. The German cars have far shorter warranties so I makes sense they will trade transmission life for better 0-60 times. Most Audi’s are limited to 300 launches, then the feature disables. This tells how stressful the Audi launches are on the car.

Launch control is not a very practical feature. It artificially reduces 0-60 times making these times a bad representation of a cars real speed. Funny, a lot of cars with crazy launch control have slower 5-60 times than 0-60 times.

A better measure of a car’s useable speed is in gear acceleration. This is what you feel day to day.

Yes, this is well known. The engine doesn't make boost on launch. Use the brake boost mod and you get all the boost you want and launching is unreal.

Yup. I'm reminded of the crazy launch control VW placed on the Arteon 4-cylinder to give it almost the same 0-60 as a G70 with the 3.3T. Good luck owning that out of warranty...
