I'm sure EmblemPros or someone like that will be doing this eventually.

Not sure that the tiny Camaro Tri-bar on the side does it for me.

I can go with modern font for the engine size, but the classic "SS" font is cool no matter what year it is. It's timeless. At least to me it is.

Yeah that Tri-bar badge doesn't really do much. In the age of cost cutting and getting things done as cheaply as possible there's obvious reasons for the chintzy sticker. That's why I want real, metal, genuine emblems. Raised lettering. If I can get it made out of stainless steel that would be perfect, nothing that pits, peels, or rusts.

You forgot two of the most legendary... 396 and 409.

We definitely have some things in the pipeline. We will be making some new style things for this car

I can't say too much more than that.

Maybe put the horsepower number like Lamborghini does, 455.

amerhash28 · 09-16-2015, 08:07 PM

First of all I don't think anyone use cubic inch units anymore(except for the 392 SRT which sounds cool when you say it)this engine is known as LT1 BUT LT1 is not that cool so I think just SS is good enough(remove it from the rear bumper an put it on the fender).thatd my opinion for the badge

I'm sure that's a typo but it's inches.

That would be one gigantic engine lol!

Not my cup of tea but, this would probably my way of doing it exapmle...

LOL

sorry about that.but I wouldn't mind a 376 Cubic feet engine on my camaro as long as it makes enough power

joemosfet · 09-16-2015, 09:41 PM

I wouldn't use cubic inches. IMHO, 6.2L is more recognizable than 376.

How about the LT1 logo from Chevy?

Jeffro19 · 09-16-2015, 09:50 PM

Tacky to me. I just like the factory badges and nothing more.

Not sure how much horsepower a beast like that would make, but the torque would be off the charts. One revolution would generate more torque than any regular sized engine.

I think it'd be cool... I like how Ford took the iconic 5.0 from the Fox bodies and tweaked it just enough to make it different, but the same.

I mean if Dodge can keep the "Hemi" bit these days, even thought those engines don't have hemisphereical heads, then I think SS / 376 (ci) / 455 (hp) / LT1 or whatever you want to put on it should be fine.

Me, I'm going to debadge the car most likely (depending on how front SS attaches).

CU died sometime in the 90's, I would put something related to the motor class or liter size.

Personally, badging sucks - 100% shaved on all sides here, no chev embl, no SS, no camaro, nadda, ziltch, zeromundo
