Also, it's my understanding that the X-fire is lighter, and I know for a fact that the torsional rigidity/handling is superior.

Does it all really matter? Not to me. If someone installed Kleemann parts on their SRT and wanted to put on a Kleemann badge, go for it. Steve Hellums had Renntech tuning on his if I'm not mistaken. Basically, if a car is branded with an emblem and it hass the ***** and legitimacy to back it up, I have no issues.

After all, Carl is simply putting a badge on, not altering the car's title. He isn't swapping VINs. It's basically an outward testemonial of the inside guts of the car. I wouldn't take offense to it. We're all here for the greater cause.
