Relax people. The daisy chain car name is only important to the small handful of car enthusest. Does the owner of the '68 Mustang Shelby 428 CJ at HAN want everyone to know what model it is? Of course they do. They sunk a ton of money into it, plus it's rare. Not to mention a hot car.
I get a few complaments per week on my car. It's usually followed by "what kinda car is it"? (debadged) I simply reply "Thanks, it's a Subaru".
On the other hand, seems like everyday I'm waving at three or four WRX/STI owners while driving around the Truckee Meadows. Theres a good chance the majority of people I wave at know my cars an "03 bugeye WRX in limited production Sonic Yellow paint.
In my opinion, versions are important to distinguish them for that particular model , era, rareness etc. If I were the owner of an original Shelby Cobra or GT40, you bet your ass I'd want people to know its an original and not a replica turn key kit car.
