Hi Everyone...I finally picked up my 07 GCSRT8 yesterday and found that the SRT8 Emblem was replaced with a HEMI emblem. Is this true of the '07 or is mine screwed up. The emblem I am talking about is in the right hand lower corner of the Trunk.

that is horsesh!t

they probably threw that on at the dealer since the original was either not put on or someone jacked it

Definitely SRT8 - I thought that would be a factory installed item and not the dealer

This taken from mine just now

Now I've removed all the JEEP emblems all I have is the SRT8 which looks cool. They must get you the right one!:cool:

I thought the '07 models had body color plastic around the exhaust (instead of the black).

I've seen badging mistakes before. I had a new GMC badged "Jimmy" on one side and "Sonoma" on the other.

There isn't even a Hemi badge on the SRT8 GC. Hmmmmmmmmmm

psycho; when the dealer swaps it out keep the Hemi and place it on the lower left side!

Why put Hemi on it? It's not a "real" Hemi...just marketing. Or does it really have hemispherical heads? I've heard no on the recent "hemi".

Yup, they actually do have hemispherical combustion chambers.

The LX SRT8s wear Hemi Badges on the front fenders.

Oh boy. Please do research before making blanket statements such as this.


The modern hemi engines are in fact FULL FLEDGED Hemi engines.

Performance features
1.- Hemispherical combustion chamber
_ _a) High volumetric efficiency.
_ _b) High thermal efficiency, low specific heat rejection.
_ _c) Superior combustion characteristics.
_ _d) Excellent adaptability to higher compression ratios.
_ _e) Lateral valve arrangement, greater valve durability.

2.- Superior manifolding.

3.- High valve lift.

4.- High mechanical efficiency.
