whats up with mustang owners sticking GT-R badges on their cars?

seriously, about 2 months ago i saw a video somewhere of some retarded guy at a car show that had skyline GT-R badges on the back of car being embarassed to shit on camera when the guy asked him if his car had a rotary engine and he said "uh uh oh yeah its a rotary car for sure" and when they asked about the badges "umm its a 2000...special model.."

and now today next to me on the road was a black 2000+ mustang driven by a middle aged guy and he had skyline GT-R badges on either side of his car..at least in F&F Tokyo Drift they truly did do a GT-R swap and it was badass...but these retards..umm yeah

There is a GTR Mustang...I'm not gonna search for the pic, but its a orange-ish color and a rediculous wing. It was used for road racing.

I thought they offer a $4000 AMG sports package on the SLK (not the SLK55)....actually I think most models have this option.....

Don't you know the GT-R badge adds around 50hp by itself?

I saw this lady in a V6 mustang a GT badge on the back. She even had the GT rear bumper on it, but when you looked at the back you could see that the exhaust tip only on one side, and it was the stock v6 tip at that.

THey do but they do not put AMG badges on the car when you order the package. They go on when you buy an SLK55.

There is no mention of 'AMG' badging with the AMG package on lesser models.


SLK AMG Sport Package
Pump up the appearance and performance of your SLK-Class even more with the optional AMG Sports Package. 17" AMG 5-spoke alloy wheels, AMG-design front air dam with mesh air intakes, side skirts and a rear apron create an even sportier look. A lowered sport suspension and steering-wheel shift buttons (with automatic transmission) give you all the performance you'll ever need in your SLK.


As a rule, if the number is 3-digits (i.e.: SLK350) then it is not an AMG.

Why do Mustang owners put GT-R badges on their car? Because they're fucking STUPID and need to be shot. Simple as that.

i saw some retard in the town i work at took a previous gen. Mustang V-6 "mocked it up" like a Cobra. like he put cobra wheels on it and put cobra rear bumper on it, and cobra snake head on the front grille. but the dumbass has #1. single "stock" exhaust #2. it's an automatic cause i was listening to it when he took off from a light he didn't rev it a little to get it to take off and he never shifted.
