I appreciate you for switching drivers these videos are really becoming my favorite to watch on KZread! Drag races for the winnnn!!!

There are many great auto review KZreadrs, but you have surprised me. Instead of over-opinionated, insulting and, at times, downright childish reviews, you present a simple, straightforward review of automotive performance with no bullshit added. And the vehicles tend to be of the affordable type for most consumers. Don’t get me wrong, detailed reviews are necessary, but not when all it consists of is bitching about piano-black interiors, the inability to get to the grocery store in under 5 seconds and whether or not the cup holders can accommodate a five gallon jug of Pepsi. Keep it simple and great job!

Unless you’re planning to add boost to the charger there’s no point in buying it. The K5 with a tune and bolt ons can probably get close to 400 hp, we see how quick it is with “only” 290 hp… the K5 is arguably one of the best value performers in terms of cost to speed. Also I wouldn’t get a charger to modify, I’d get a Mustang. The 5.0 is just to good when modified, and the 10 speed auto is just stupid fast…

Yeah the DCT is Leagues ahead

Well aside from the fact the Kia is 6-700 lbs lighter, and the gears in that Charger are likely the 2.62s, one thing in my experience racing my 09 Challenger R/T at the track all these years is the 5.7 specifically doesn't like heating up to operating temperature when racing. The difference between letting my car cool down or running it at full temp is usually 3 tenths of a second. The iron block plays a part of it, but it doesn't seem like the 6.4 or the LT1's in the Camaro have it as bad as the 5.7. To those harping on the 5.7 in the comments, it's a great engine, R/T's are burnout and donut machines in stock form and incredibly fun to drive! They also pick up a lot of extra HP with minor mods and tweaks so it's a fun platform to get into and work on over the years. Not taking anything away from the Kia of course, it's cool to see that not only the muscle car side of the car hobby is seeing a surge in hp numbers but the import side as well. Both cars have very different personalities but either way I'm sure everyone can agree it's a great time to be a car enthusiast!

Not hating on the K5. Honestly thinking about getting one for DD. but this is video is BS. Either the driver not giving it all the gas or there’s something wrong with that car. Mine is definitely not that slow especially against a Kia k5

I have a 5.7 hemi challenger and I’ve raced a few cars here and there. Yea I’ve won and lost but ain’t gonna let that ruin the experience I have with the car. The drive is what matters to me 👍🏻.

Is this a stock Kia K5 GT? Curious if this has performance air intake and exhaust, didn't sound like it playing out loud from my phone at least.

Is there anywhere the top speed and the quarter-mile times are displayed for these races? Thanks in advance.

I enjoy watching all of your videos. I must say, it seems that there’s always a hint of bias for the underdawg car. I’d like to see both car’s owners race for true bragging rights. I own a K5 GT-line (I wish I owned the GT 2.5). As much as I want to see the K5 beat American muscle, I doubt that the Charger ever went into sport mode w/ Trac off in this video. ThAnks anyway for another fun video to watch! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

From someone who used to own a 5.7 R/T (now a 6.4), very nice video. Somethings to keep in mind as well: In stock form, the 5.7 generally will fall on it's face near the 1/8 mi, often a little bit beforehand (I've lost a couple of races right at the end due to this). Also, that Daytona R/T more than likely came with the 2.62 rear end gearing as opposed to the 3.07 (open differential) that could often be found in the R/T Plus models; not saying this would make a world of difference but I have beaten a 2.62 R/T Daytona. With a manual, the differential would go to the 3.09 found in Scat Packs as well. Again, not a world of difference and I firmly believe that the results (specifically in the roll) would be the same, but some information to keep in mind.

right! my brother has a 18 chally 5/7 shaker package with super track pac. rear gear is 3.70 and it walks all over most other 5.7 challengers and chargers. I could tell this car in the video had tall ass gears. it also didnt sound like it was revving out as high as it should.

Could you do The Taurus SHO vs Kia K5 Or Sonata N-line I would love to see that race!!!

Chrysler’s 5.7 HEMI engine deserves respect for the long list of popular cars and trucks it’s powered for nearly two decades. In my opinion, that goes to show the great success of the engine. If the 345 HEMI were a below average engine it’s unlikely Chrysler and Dodge would keep it around for so long in their flagship cars. The 5.7 Hemi was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2003 through 2007, and again in 2009...The Coyote made Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2011, 2012, and 2018.

Holy smokes!!! I was absolutely shocked at the difference between normal and sport without TC. For the money, the KIA is a great option for a daily driver.

Thanks for this video! I knew the k5 could do it

I have the older with 273 HP, 269 ft-lbs. It doesn't jump out of the hole either. When it's moving however, you shift to first you must be careful not to snap your neck. (I have, and it hurts). It was never designed as a drag car, but a GT car for traveling with excellent acceleration and handling. My 2013 turbo model has enormous brakes, and the suspension is better than man high end cars (no names).

Great engines 3.3 v6

Wow, that k5 gt is amazingly fast and I would never imagined the outcome smacking the hemi around like a step child

Excited to see how this Kia powertrain evolves….

One thing I can say about both these cars is they have the coolest DRLs on any car, front to back.
