I'll admit some of the merged model decisions I made are questionable and a result of expediency, time crunch, and lack of knowledge about certain models. The good thing is that the original data is still there unadulterated and my input method allows me to easily go back and correct specific counts. So please do give me that feedback on which models should be separated or combined. Researching the models is pretty educational.
On the Demon, I'd defend counting it separate from the Hellcat because it's such a purpose-built machine (an argument I'd accept for separating the Stingray and ZR1 votes I combined for the C7). I'll take a look a the SV Project 8 and probably separate it. That's one I didn't look at closely enough. On the Pantera covering both the 1970s and 1980s... my gut says keep them together despite the slim vs widebodied-whaletale being as different as facelift generations I separated for other models. I'll look at the requests but in that case I think I encountered a lot of "Pantera" without model year, which makes it difficult to decide which generation the user was thinking of. For model requests without years I usually added them to the most recent generation, but sometimes got a sense from other models in their list that they wanted a certain era.
Yep, newest/fastest versions are always high on the list. I suppose that's a good reason for me to post the full ~4000 model list instead of just the top 500, to give everyone an idea of all the old and oddball cars the community has requested. I'll do that after some tinkering this weekend.
