Well if thats the case we have alot of poser Justin Bieber homos out there then dont we

but, thats a topic for another thread.

 

It is wrong. I have a V6 and would never badge it as another model.
I have a badge on the trunk that shows my car is a 4.0.

 

Wrong and just plain goofy, just leave the badge off and let people guess if the 3.7 emblem bothers you.
People always want what they don't have so they pretend.

 

5.0, GT, Shelby, Snake, etc badges on a 6'er is wrong. Just like it's wrong to put snakes, 3.7, Shelby, etc badges on a 5.0.

 

I never understood advertising something you couldn't back up....

 

It always seems like a silly thing to do.

 

Can tell by the rear bumper.

 

300 gross hp = about 225 hp in todays net hp ratings.

 

just plain wrong. Maybe he'll try to save face and call it a 5.0 "tribute" car.

 

Unless you're gonna put the badges of vanquished enemies on your fender like a WW2 fighter plane, badges not belonging are wicked gay IMO.

 

Wrong? It's not illegal so it's only wrong or not in the conscience of the car owner. It's his car, he can do what he wants.

The better question would be is it stupid.

Anyone who knows Mustangs well will know right away that it isn't a 5.0, there are visual clues unless there have been more changes than just the badges. And as soon as the car is started you will hear that it isn't a 5.0.

In the end, who cares?

 

Resident kindergarten teacher present...

 

saw these on a charger a couple weeks back, nothing wrong with showing you have a v6 but come on it looks very similar to the srt 8 badge.

 

Why the hell did you ask if it was wrong if you already think it is? What a waste of a thread. Who cares what he does to his car, apparently you find yourself more involved in his life than your own. Let him do what he wants with his car. Now go back to class and forget about it.

 

I think it's wrong. Think of how his engine feels, knowing that your owner is ashamed of you and is pretending he's got something else under the hood. It's like finding out your boyfriend is carrying around a picture in his wallet of some woman he doesn't even know, and telling people that is his girlfriend. If I were that V6, I'd feel very insulted. What an S.O.B..

Calm the Ef down bro I'm just asking what other people think about this it's not like I'm doing something about it.

 

I think its okay to go for the "look" of a better equipped model- but when you badge it as such, that's just silly (IMHO).

I have a '65 coupe with a straight 6, and have added almost all of the options that came on the GT for that year (disc brakes, fog lamps, 5 gauge cluster, 5spd trans, V8 suspension & steering, etc.- the only "6 cyl" part left on the car is the engine at this moment). When it came time to add the rocker stripes, I deliberately avoided the "GT350" lettering- since the car is not (and never will be) a GT. I just added straight lines without letters. Still gives the look of the GT, but it doesn't pretend to be anything its not.

I think the "SXT 6" badge is a perfect solution- it gives the look the owner obviously wants without false advertising.

I usually debadge everything anyway. In fact, I'm disappointed I will not be able to remove the "5.0" badge on my '14 when it arrives without exposing the locating holes for the badge (otherwise, it would be coming off). Better to leave em guessing and have more under the hood than they thought than to falsely advertise and get exposed as a poser.

 

Let him do as he pleases. When a real 5.0 pulls up next to him and he gets smoked he'll learn not to advertise the car as something it's not. Or if someone asks him to pop the hood as previously stated he will look like an idiot. He's just going to embarrass himself sooner or later ...

 

This reminds me of a movie called they call me Bruce. This Asian guy pretends to know Kung Fu and no one fights him because he "looks" like he should know martial arts. Sooner later someone will want to test you and no one wants a black eye.
