RST Owners

[cardude2000]

Ive never been a fan of badging. I prefer when only real enthusiasts know what Im driving.

How can they tell?

How can they tell?

They see my taillights rapidly accelerating away from them, haha. I bet many Tahoe owners don't even know what an RST is or that a 6.2 is available. I even had a CHP ask me if it was an Escalade. I live in San Diego, a fairly large city. When I started looking back in November 2018, there was only one 2018 RST in a hundred mile range. I had to drive to Torrance, CA. to get my 2019 RST. So unless you are an enthusiast, you probably wont know or care what a RST 6.2 is even with the badging.

But you debadge right?

Yet you want enthusiasts to know what it is?

I do wish I had a ‘6.2L’ badge and nothing else on my Denali. Like you, I prefer to drive ‘sleepers’.

How can they tell?

IMO the 3 most obvious ways to tell a Tahoe is an RST:

Black OEM window trim and bow ties
Front Grille
OEM RST 22” wheels

That being said; Are these 3 items available mods to install on a non RST Tahoe/Suburban? Absolutely.

And if that’s what you’ve done and what you’re into then I guess you’re just that guy. They’re everywhere on all platforms with “performance” or “limited” models.

“GT” or “5.0” badges on base model V6 Mustangs
Hellcat badges on V6 and dare I say 5.7L/6.4L models
“V” badges on a normal Cadillac CTS/ATS

The list goes on and on... Even so you’ll never fool a true enthusiast.

To each their own.

No really, I got one Tahoe park next to me in Costco and I look the rims and I said ohh nice a RST, and as I get closer I look the exhaust and it was 5.3 [emoji85].
Look the pipe and you know immediatelyy.

My 66 Chevy II had 283 badges on it. But under the hood was my built 402. And I went with quiet 3inch mufflers, so everyone assumed it was a cammed mouse.

I think 90% of the new cars in this forum are a lease that is why nobody touches anything doing that they have to bring it back in 2-3 years.

Leases only make up around 25-30% of car sales...I doubt it triples for tahoes? Seems a lot of these guys keep them for a long time here!

Your playing around with air flow by debadging it with that grill.
