Members -
I of course value your options and I thank you in the past for your help
I have a question - I am thinking of getting a Hood Emblem/Decal on the Lip of the hood that states
"2.0 SIDI Turbo" - kind of like what the old T-Type/GN's had on their hoods that said "3.8 SFI Turbo"
Also I was thinking of buying 2 new t/tt emblems that are on the 2016 rear and putting one on each fender
Its White - the windows are getting tinted - and I think it would be a tribute to the T-Type's
I mean - it really is a T-Type - Same HP and Drive Train as the GS (259HP) with out all the extra fun stuff - just like a 87 T-Type
Again Mine is the AWD Turbo non GS
Thoughts?
I really wish the GN name plate would come back

1SL models and above offer a standard 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine rated at 259 horsepower (193 kW).
The 2.0L engine’s turbocharger features a twin-scroll design that uses exhaust tuning to generate balance between maximum power and excellent turbo response, enabling the engine to deliver a broad torque band
In fact, it delivers 90 percent (259 lb-ft / 353 Nm) of its peak torque from 1,700 rpm to 5,500 rpm and a full 295 lb-ft of peak torque (400 Nm) from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm in the Regal.
For the Regal GS, peak torque is reached at 2,500 rpm and is maintained through 4,000 rpm. Those broad torque bands are supported by boost levels as high as 24 psi (1.65 bar) in the speed range, engineered to give the Regal and Regal GS assuring, exhilarating feelings of immediate power on demand.
