I agree with your assessment of the "Mopar" crowd has not accepted the Crossfire as a true Mopar, since the manufacturer was Dainler-Chrysler, emphasizing the name Daimler as the primary and being manufactured in Germany by Karmann. The Mopar guys that own newer Chargers/Challengers will always point out to me that portions of the suspension are attributed to the E Class Mercedes Benz!
I attended the Carlisle/Chrysler events from 2007 through 2019 with my SRT6 Coupe and it was noticeable of their negative feelings about the Crossfire, considering it as a Mercedes Benz, The RED HEADED STEPCHILD that Chrysler couldn't service, and Mercedes Benz refused to recognize.
This is a common scenario at other car shows as well....
Just my 2 cents,
