    I saw this ad for a Challenger SXT "392" on Craigs List. Its a good fake on the exterior (although it doesn't have the SRT front spoiler), but what a poser!! Wait until this "392" gets dusted by some ricer. Can you imagine his bragging rights? This is just wrong!!

    Mint 2012 Black Dodge Challenger - $27999 (North Hollywood)
    For Sale: My Mint 2012 Black Dodge Challenger SXT Plus.
    This car was a special order from Dodge that came with the snappy new 6 cyl engine that's GREAT on gas and FAST! Made to look like exactly like the 392 Hemi. Comes with heated leather seats and the $2000 upgraded Boston acoustics sound system from Dodge. 20" SRT wheels and Good Year Eagle F1 tires
    This car has only a gentle 6,900 miles on it and has always been garage kept, non smoker.
    Never any accidents, dents, dings, etc.
    Clean title.
    Original owner rolled off the factory floor.
    100,000 Mile bumper to bumper warrantee. Cash only!

    Firm!

    How many "cloning" errors can you find on this "SRT?"

    For starters:

    No SRT front spoiler
    "Challenger" brake caliper dust covers (no Brembo brakes)
    No slotted 14" rotors
    No SRT seats
    No "Challenger SRT8" dash emblem
    No 180 mph speedometer

    That is wrong on all levels. I hate upbadging. Either you got it or you don't.

    Comical Upbadging

    Here are a few cases of upbading that are especially bad (or comical).

    So bad almost stupid, 4 of them not even Chrysler products.
    The 07 BEE with the RR front end is different but if he went that far you would think that he would have removed the "Super Bee" logos and continued with the "RR" theme, any one ever seen a Yellow Rolls??
    Each to their own I guess but "Up Badging" is not acceptable around here.
