    Never heard of it.

    Did you see this badge on a car somewhere, Andrew?

    The only person who can answer with assurity is the guy who decided to put it there. It's not factory.
    Australian Muscle Car ... "It is a sensational high performance vehicle; a beautifully engineered and immensely capable four door Grand Tourer or 'GT' in the truest sense of that tradition."

    No prize for guessing what car they were referring to ... OWN THE ROAD ...

    Definitely not factory. It is either a highly modded EB that the owner wanted people to 'get the message' that he's packin' some heat, or it is some Womble that found a 300i badge that had fallen off a GTS at the wrecking yard and thought it would look good next to his P plate

    The red one with about 220kW? That caused movement when I saw it.

    Yeah it was red to start with, which pumped out 227kw n 475nm. The pic I have is of the finished product in blue with 351 gt on the side. It would of been a beast if they decided to follow through. Don't get me wrong the 302 is nice motor n I have one in ef xr8 but 351 just has a better ring to it.
