okay so this seems like it should be no problem.. i have a 14 2ls with bolt ons, my friend drives an optima...yes a kia but on paper it doesnt seems so bad 2.0 turbo almost the same torque and about 300lbs lighter, pretty sure i could take him. what do you guys think ?

You'll win.
My wife has the deluxe model Kia Optima (the EX Luxury, not the Turbo). When she got it the salesman noted my car (we drove to the dealership in my old 2010 LS) and the dealer jokingly tried to sell her the turbo model, saying that, not only would it beat my car, but that it would beat a Corvette. I just smiled and nodded thinking "What the hell is this guy smoking?".
Went home and did some research and the guy was out to lunch.

While those Optimas are definitely really nice cars, there's obviously no way in Hell it can take a Corvette and you have the edge over it in your 2LS. Just don't screw up, lol

Stock those 2.0 Turbo Optimas will do 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, 1/4 in high 14s.
As long as you don't screw up, you'll get him.

The2ls does 0-60 in 6.4 from what I've read but I have full bolt ons so hopefully I can get him. Plus sticky tires so no spin. I've beaten a genesis before. Don't know if it was a 2.0t or a 3.8 but the gneiss was modded

And I have different answers for the 0-60. Motortrend said 7.2. Some sites say 6.0.

The 2.0t really aren't that quick. Now the 3.8 that is a different story. Extremely torquey.

Back on top ----

You should have no problem beating the KIA whatsoever.

The zero to sixty site has the stock 2LS (LS with auto) at 6.3 seconds. Supposedly the LS manual is 5.9 seconds. Neither are bad numbers. But like has been said, the driver makes the vehicle. I see so many top car drivers stuck in traffic and eventually in my rear view because they can't actually drive the damn thing.
