    What did he do to make it a "Hellcat?" Just badges or something more substantial, like a hood, grill, fender flares, etc.

    CF Hood and Badge. And when I asked him about his ride he told me it's a '09 RT. It still has the RT decal on the rear QP. BUT ... it IS a Hellcat on the right side (Badge) the left side doesn't have one. Maybe he could only afford Half a Hellcat, I mean, they ARE expensive :rotflmao:

    If I were to change the badging on my car, I would try to make it look like an SXT.

    kinda like the HEMI badging, some like big ol letters in the stripes to say HEMI , but the only place mine says it is on the shaker scoop with the small HEMI badge. that is it.

    I bought my '13 SXT in 2015. I don't know if that's the way they came stock, but mine doesn't have any badges on it except for the one in the grill that says Challenger. Its just Black n Chrome, the way I like it. Of course, it doesn't have ANY Low End Torgue! BUT once I get the RPM's up it's rather Zippy LOL. Just have a CAI, a DS Diablo Tune and I run 91 octane w/o Ethanol. Unfortunately it has 2.65 years so it really slow off the line.

    Question: if I "Up Badge" my SXT, will it get faster :Big Laugh:

    I ran across this while shopping for a Challenger. I ran across an RT with a very good price. While looking at the car closer I realized it had a V6. New guy here but aren' all RT's V8 cars?
