Even hotter Kia Stinger in the works

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this assuming an Australian delivered Mustang can replicate the low 12 second pass as per some reports? I haven't been following, but that in itself may be a challenge.

Given the comparison (2 door pony car vs large sedan) I don't really consider the Kia in a position to be embarrassed per se. It'd be like me comparing the Huracan to the C63S, one is clearly faster but it's not an embarrassing result for the other. I acknowledge there's a price difference but that doesn't change my thinking on this.

The only embarrassing point about the Kia so far would have to be its nanny gearbox tune, which I'd be surprised if not rectified within the next 12 months.
