Reasons to use a Cobra emblem:

Honor Carroll Shelby by putting an emblem on a nice replica.
Piss Carroll Shelby off by putting an emblem on a nice replica.

Reasons to use an AC emblem:
To piss Carroll Shelby off by dissociating the Cobra shape from Shelby American.
To honor the many craftsmen at AC that helped design such a beautiful car.

Reasons to run sans emblem:
To honor Carroll Shelby by not putting an emblem associated with him on a replica.
You're pissed at Shelby over the SAAC, and you don't want to honor Carroll Shelby by adding an emblem associated with him to such a beautiful car.

I thought about this myself. About a year ago I decided to not put an emblem on my car out of respect for Carroll and his frustration that replicas were getting emblems. This attitude has changed. I now plan on leaving an emblem off my car because I don't want to honor Carroll by putting an emblem on such a fine car. A statement, of sorts. Not a burning statement, just a disappointed shrug at Carroll for the latest SAAC debacle.
