Do what you wish with the badge, it is your truck, but leaving the car dirty is a sin.

Punishable by hell.

Just saying

Agree with you. And the truth is that it really is technically a Cayenne, and I actually feel that the single word is aesthetically cleaner than the long proclamation of turbohood.

Ok for SUVs to be dirty. Not a 911 though - agreed there.

A good friend of mine who lives in SFO has a W211 E55 with a Klemann Stage 2 kit. He is a bit of a HP junkie who also has a Superformance Cobra with a 700hp 427FE (bored and stroked done by Southern Automotive in GA - MONSTER!!!!!!!) and a 71 Bronco with 550 to the wheels (33 x 12.5's) via a built and supercharged 347 stroker.

With all the ricers in the Bay Area always out trolling for action, especially on the freeway, he thought it might be fun to "re-badge" his E55. It might be a bit juvenile, but the look of shock on the unsuspecting kid's face as their NOS'ed, turbo'ed, dropped, stickered, body-kitted, winged Civic is "taught some manners" by an "E350 4-matic" is priceless. The roll-on acceleration in a Stage 2 E55 is frightening!!!!!

owned. you'd think people would wonder why someone with an "E350 4-matic" would want to roll and decide something wasnt right.

Such is the arrogant ricer, looking to roll against anything.....you'd think they would notice the lowered stance, the quad pipes, vents on the front q-panels. Even without the E55 badges on the back or the kompressor badges on the qp's, the trained eye knows what the E55 looks like....
