If it's fast and looks cool it will be the envy of high school kids and will sell just as well as if they named it anything else.

"Enthusiasts" go a little overboard sometimes.
Just a little

That's the entire point, anyone who isn't an enthusiast doesn't care about the name. Think about that for five seconds and then maybe you will understand why using the name bothers people.

Make sense now?

Exactly. If non-enthusiasts don't care about the name, then what's the point in even calling it Firehawk? They could call it anything else and it'd still be an SLP modified G8 that would be the "envy of all the highschool kids."

could it be because they own the name? is a cool name they don't have to come up with a new name.. they don't have to do anything pretty much just come up with some stickers and sell...
