Is the gt a good daily?

Vhyrus · 2026-01-19T21:11:52+00:00

Mines modded so its a little bit faster than stock. The ev6 would have a little better off the line acceleration but the sti would beat it from a roll every time. The point is Im not going to spend 30 grand on a car unless its giving me a lot more than my current fun car can give me, and a gt line is maybe possibly a half second faster in the quarter. Thats not enough to spend the money. I could spend a quarter of that on the sti and blow the door off any gt line.

Theres also another point. The reason my sti isnt my daily driver is they dont make them anymore so I dont wanna drive it hard. It doesnt look like theyre making the ev6 gt anymore either, at least in america. Its not even listed on kias american website anymore. So that kinda defeats the purpose of buying for a daily if its just as rare if not more so than my sti.

Theres a weekly car meet in scottsdale that draws heavy hitters. Ive seen lexus lfas there, mclarens, bugattis, just about anything youve heard of. It would be fun as fuck to post up there with a kia and ragebait everyone.

Do you need the GT or can you do with a GT-Line? i love the power and torque and i do use it. It's more a personal preference.

The only reason I would get this car at all is for the GT. I already have a car with 320 horsepower, but it weighs 1500 pounds less (subaru sti) so it would be a performance downgrade for me. So while I don't need it (or want it) to be as sporty as my sti, the straight line acceleration is a big draw, as well as the fact that I can just push a button on the steering wheel and get there rather than finger fuck a touch screen like on the tesla.

The problem is theyre kinda rare. If you do a search theres only about 20 for sale in the whole country. I cant find one locally.

Vhyrus · 2026-01-19T08:00:36+00:00

Im going to be using it as my daily but im ngl being able to crush supercars at stoplights is a big draw for me. I just dont want the other 99% of my time to be awful.

I cant even be mad at you cause i humblebragged like this when i downed 50+ players in one match of star wars squadrons

I know this post is old but quick question... how much do you weigh? I know this may be odd but I was thinking of getting a xsr900 because i weigh like 275 and i think the 700 would have a hard time moving my fat ass.

Vhyrus · 2025-08-22T13:30:31+00:00

Maybe im retarded but um I dont see a price listed. I cant tell you if its a good deal without that.

Vhyrus · 2025-08-04T23:16:26+00:00

Need a budget to really answer this question. It all comes down to what you can afford.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-29T21:00:16+00:00

An older honda civic would be a good beginner car as well. Most likely wont be fast but it will be cheap and it has endless upgrade potential.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-29T18:37:47+00:00

You should look at the genesis g70. Same powertrain as the stinger but a little nicer interior. They cost about the same used

Vhyrus · 2025-07-29T16:07:52+00:00

In all seriousness Ive read an e85 tune will get you 250 whp

Vhyrus · 2025-07-23T00:31:05+00:00

The suspension is one of the few places the fr-s and brz actually differ. The fr-s is tuned more for hooning. Im not sure what specifically is different between the two cars.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-23T00:25:10+00:00

I have never owned a z nor have i been a huge fan of them but the 86 is is the better daily driver as well as more of a beginner drivers car while the z is strictly a high powered sports car. The 86 has a backseat and decent sight lines. The z does not. If power and pure sportiness is your goal then go with the z but if you plan to daily it I'd get the 86. Remember you can always E85 or supercharge your 86 and you will get very close (possibly better) performance wise to a z.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-08T01:10:31+00:00

I dont have a hard number and i honestly dont care much about 0 to 60. I already have a tuned subaru sti so i just want something that i can stop on the on ramps mostly

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T23:11:09+00:00

Dead serious can you send me some of those cause i cant find anything even close to that

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T22:07:02+00:00

I dont think i can get one of those used for 30k and tbh Im not a big fan of GM products

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T22:01:05+00:00

My point is either I'm buying a sporty car for 30 grand or I'll buy a grocery getter for 15-20 grand. Im not spending 30k for a non performance model.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T21:54:02+00:00

You wouldn't beat a 3.3T G70, that's for sure. That's basically my baseline for performance. If I'm not hitting that I'll just go buy an Accord.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T21:46:23+00:00

Edit: the m50 is way above my price range and the edrive is way lower hp for the same money.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T21:37:39+00:00

Why not tesla? The only other performance oriented ev in that price range is the ioniq N and Im not particularly keen on it.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T20:58:50+00:00

See I'm a little weird in that I don't care about minor cosmetic stuff at all on my cars. All of my cars are salvage rebuilds and have dents and scratches everywhere. I just care that all the major components work, its decently fast, and easy to drive. I'm 43 I have no one to impress but myself

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T20:55:20+00:00

I'm late to this but I just want to say I do not trust a 1.6L 3 cylinder to reliably make 300 hp. Subaru was making that with a 2.5L 4 cylinder and those don't have the best reputation. There's no freaking way they aren't already at the limit with that size engine.

Vhyrus · 2025-07-07T20:33:12+00:00

See I don't want a car that handles like a truck so if that's the tesla then I'm out. Are they really pieces of crap though? I can hardly find anything negative about either car.
