Default Why not more SRT-6 emblems??

Seems to be there should be more than one exterior emblem with SRT-6 on it.

Maybe one on each fender above the vent. Whats everyone's opinion. Anyone know where I can find some?

No need, real car enthusiasts and crossfire lovers can tell an srt from a base model. Fixed wing, rims, front lip spoiler, are all easy things to notice, that and when it goes flying by you like your standing still. No need for little emblems all over the car.

Well I know the difference. I'm not sure the kid in the new v-6 mousetang who shot a rev at me! Same for a guy in a 350Z!

Srt has become more of a household name since there are now more Chrysler products with that designation. So even the wanna be car guys could tell this xfire means business with a few more srt6 emblems. I noticed a new charger srt8 has plenty of srt8 wording everywhere!

Your dealer can order as many you want to plaster all over the car... me, I'd rather walk softly and carry a big stick. Why advertise and who are you trying to impress, yourself or the boy racers?

SRT 6 center caps would be plenty!

TYPE R!
Just kidding, most people who know what a crossfire "IS" know the difference.
The problem is "MOST" people have no idea what a crossfire is...

In the very same way the SLK has the "KOMPRESSOR" emblems, I don't think a very unobtrusive "SUPERCHARGED" emblem would look out of place on an SRT. You know, like the supercharged emblem that was on the rear of the last generation Buick Riviera, (with very small letters.) Maybe positioned down low on the front fender, below the side vent.
As stryfox pointed out, "we are" the only ones who know anything about these cars, so a little "extra" information wouldn't hurt the general public.

I think I'm going to have to agree with the Walk Softly idea. I wouldn't mind a bit if people didn't realize what I had under the hood until they were in my rearview.

Yeah, you're probably right. The more people who "don't" know there is a difference, the "better" the Limited, and base cars look.

Of course Dan that's true, but to most Americans, the word "Kompressor", is a misspelled air pump. Besides, the size of the lettering on the SLKs kompressor emblem is GIGANTIC. I think the Riviera's Supercharged emblem is much more tasteful, and discreet. Placed low on the front fender, (just beneath the side vent) the only people that would actually see it is the person who pulls up next to you at the light. And truth be told, "intimidation" is the name of the game more often than not.
Besides, German logo's on a Chrysler (no matter what the actual German content is) really causes more confusion than it's worth, IMO. After all, Porsche was instrumental in the design and development of Harley Davidsons new V-Rod engine, but I have yet to see any with a Porsche insignia.

I agree with the "less is better crowd". No reason to try to brag about it since the only important person (the driver) knows what the car is and no matter if there's one or twenty badges on the car; it doesn't increase h.p. numbers one bit...but I also think the same thing about putting those odd "built by M.B." stickers on the Crossfire also so...

ws6vert, I've been meaning to ask you this for some time, "How does your SRT compare to your Trans Am in the acceleration?" I mean, which one do you think would win? I'm assuming the TA "sounds" more fierce simply because it's a V8, but then again, I've never heard what a 3.2 "under pressure" sounds like.
The reason I ask, is because I once had a '94 Z28 6 spd. that was "chipped" and it ran a 13.4, and that's close to the XF. Just curious, that's all.
