    I’m looking for a sculpted chromed “SUPERCHARGED” badge. Not one of those tacky plastic things. If not available, I would love to design it myself & have it made. Any sources you can recommend?

    I thought of the Saleen Mustang & will drop by the dealer to take a look. What all else is out there production-wise that is supercharged?

    I do not think the one I am talking about is on the current models. I had one on my mustang in the early 90's you may have to go to their catalog to find it

    The owner is also a graphic designer who's done some best-selling Hawaiian photo books. So he'll know what you're saying. His stuff is top-notch.

    I was eying the one on the back of the older supercharged buicks...I was thinking of replacing my QV emblem with it. I didn't look close enough to kno if it is metal, but it looked good.

    Your being shot down! ;) Just kidding. I wonder what they could do with Auraraptor. I use the moniker for everything.

    Glad to see you have a sense of humor, Auraraptor. BTW, what is an "aurarapter"? Sounds prehistoric but w/ a twist??? Also, I want your car - in black!

    Sounds like a Klingon warship for sure. I like it. My question is: How does she fly? I want this car & will have it. The looks define Ferrari in the thinking man’s time of the 80s & still maintains true to the essence. In the end, I love the lines.

    Pretty well. She isnt the fastest thing on 4 wheels or have much torque. But I will be damned if I said I don't love it! It puts a smile on my face everytime I walk into my garage.

    Here is something I wrote a while back: http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/251280/234894.html It sums it up well.

    Ah, a daily driver. That would be me. I know I will get dings but love the thrill every day of driving a Ferrari to work. It pretty much doesn't get any better.

    Oh, I had figured it was modifying the word aural, for sound + raptor = sharp, vicious sound... I had thought you were big into stereos/audio stuff like Steve Rochlin and ArtherD.

    It would take a little modifying, but if you cut off the GTP part of the GTP-supercharged badge on a Pontiac, it's got a nice look to it.

    Here's the one that came on my supercharged VW:

    http://www.hostdub.com/albums/g60racer/super.jpg

    It's available in chrome instead of the red print.

    There's also a decent supercharged badge that Vortech makes, they sell them with their chargers but I'm sure you could get one by itself.
