I'm down right impressed, besides the ****ty commercial for it, it is a real head turner and some serious power to boot.
Check out the 60-100 acceleration at 1:32 and how it just keep climbing like there is nothing holding it back.
YouTube - Go Go Kia Optima SX Turbo-2011
Can't wait to see what it puts out once a tuner gets hold of it.

But damn that thing can move

Again why in the hell cant a domestic auto maker make something even close to that? Anything made by a domestic would cost a hell of a lot more. I will say Ive seen a few of these in town dont think Ive seen any turbos but nics looking cars tint and wheels would go a long long way on one.
BTW Hyuandi makes turbo sonatas too. 274 HP and 269 TQ from a Turbo 4??
Them are also twin scroll too!
Way to go Korea auto makers for making the domestics look like junk again!!!
^^^ SAD but TRUE

saw it in a magazine and was impressed by the numbers although i can't remember them at the moment.
Dual sunroof, paddle shifters, cool styled interior and exterior, turbocharged. Looks like an all around nice car.

I was expecting them to be a lot closer to the turbalt 1/4 at 13.9...

It comes down to the tranny being geared for fuel mileage.
A tuner will come along and fix that.

Still shouldn't that 6 speed auto help out with the launch and acceleration quite a bit?
03-05-2011
less gears = better 1/4 times. shifting all the time slows the car down.

I those speedo videos are sped up...that looks tons faster than a car that runs mid 14's.

agreed
