I was driving in brockton mass today and saw a purple first gen intrepid with a GT type R insignia in the back. made me want to puke

that's terrible....

I could understand R/T or 3.5L magnum or something but I assume whoever owns it probably does not know much about these vehicle's anyways.

If that was cool i'd put this on my 02' Intrepid....

If you ask me putting an "R/T or 3.5L magnum" badge on a car that is or has niether is just as bad as the ricers who put GTR, R, Si, etc on thier rides.

Of course I meant obviously if it had a 3.5L then the "3.5L Magnum" badge wouldn't be bad at all at least in my opinion. I didn't mean for a 3.3L or something.

If someone sups up their trep even if it's a first gen and makes it faster with tighter suspension it could deserve an R/T badge as a custom thing. It's a little off the wall but a Chrysler/Dodge deserves that before "Si" or "Type R". I would however choose an R/T logo before a ricer logo though for our type of vehicles.

I plan on moddin' my 02' 2.7L but I would personally never consider putting an R/T badge on it. I am going to affix a "2.7L Magnum" badge however, I think that'd be kinda cool.

Si is typically for Honda and has nothing to do with Dodge/Chrysler vehicles so I have to find that one totally ridiculous.

That's just how I see it....

Later guys

At least they're genre correct. Mopar badging on a Mopar product. The worst is Jap Type-R stickers on a domestic ricer. What are they thinking?

Apparently you need to learn how to read better Moparperformance.

just as bad as ricers who put GTR, R, Si, etc on thier rides.

I said nothing about people putting those badges on Intrepids.

Yeah Its a shame to badge up youre car when its really not what it is.

Like if i had my intrepid and put R/T or **** like that. Or say for Example if you had a regular BMW 525 and you would put on it a M5 and i actually saw that started to laugh.

Its like the guy was trying to add another 30 k on his with an Emblem hehe

I completely agree.

Ditto, unless you earn it you shouldn't put R/T unless you have done MAJOR mods (super, turbo, or complete engine buildup)

Just my opinion though.

I think the best example of "false advertising" is when I pulled up next to a shitty Ford Escort station wagen that had the 5.9L R/T emblem on the doors. I didn't know wheter to laugh or kick this kids ass!

 

[Starscream]

kick the kids ass and then laugh.

 

[TehKing]

I knew a guy with a early 90s Ford Escort Wagon. He bout a couple 5.0 badges, and instead of applying them like that, he carefully took them apart and rearranged them to read 0.5

Quite funny.

the hell with Type-R...go all out! the Guido/NASCAR connection...

 

[00ChryslerIntrepid]

I saw a newer Ford Escort sedan the other day in town with really dark tinted windows, Ford decals all over it, ridiculous looking exhaust pipe, and racing stripes. I laughed very heartily at that one.

And, even though West Bend is a relatively small town, with approx. 25,000 people, we have our fair share of ricers, etc.

Lots of Dodge truck enthusiasts, too.

 

[Foxcow]

I think that is just as bad as the ricers. False advertisement is gay.

 

[00ChryslerIntrepid]

Foxcow...

Hey, whaddaya know..... I'm gay!!

I know that no one cares, just FYI.

 

[MoparPerformance]

Thanks for sharing that with us.....

I don't care about anything. I can't start making exceptions now.

Just kidding.
