Default How much Hp and torquez do red badges add?
Seems the red badges/emblems trend is actually growing like it just debuted or something. I even see tons of red badges in signatures now.

I'm curious how much HP do red badges/emblems add. Where does one buy one? What are the best badge brands.

I'm trying to decide between GS "S" or maybe GS "R" but I'm leaning toward GS "red badges make me faster" literally spelled out.

I cannot lie, red appealed to me when I was younger like it does to a bull. Today, you got to be kidding me.

I'm in that young driver stage but come on, colored badges obviously make your car faster.

Sorry, I disagree. I have VTEC sticker in red (on the windshield too) and I am pretty sure I can win a red GTR badge.

Green of course. Blue causes hydrolock.
