Note... they have had mustangs in the past tho...

The whole 6 year run of the 350z sold
150,000 units.
The first year of the 2010 Camaro models sold
125,000 units.
If you add up
all the 350z's plus 370z's out there. There may be
190,000 350 and 370z's combined. And 190,000 units may be an exaggeration still???
By the end of
model year 2011. There were over
210,000 camaro's sold. They beat us in the first 2 years vs a generation and a half of Z's. Add and average of 80,000 Camaro units being sold since then.
Camaro has sold nearly
350,000 units over
4 years.
The Z sold nearly
190,000 units in
10 years.
If we only count the appropriate generations
The 370Z has sold right around
40,000 units.
The Camaro has sold
350,000 units.
You need a multitude of generations of z's combined over the course of 23 years to play in the arena of units sold of new camaro's out there. i don't have Z32 numbers but they didnt sell well here. Thats why they were cancelled in the U.S. So im going to guess even with the z32 added. We don't get close. By comparison to Mustang, Camaro and BMW sales numbers in the united states. The Z is a cult car guaranteed. If I throw in the Camaro numbers from 25 years ago. The camaro would go close to a million units, if not more? So would the camaro... The Z would be around 300,000 units here.
Just because you have a disproportionate amount of Z's in your area doesn't make it not a low volume selling car on a national level.
EDIT
The Z32 sold an estimated 46,000 units in the U.S. Decided to go find out. So since 1991. There has been approx. 240,000 z's. give or take a few thousand.
The Z31(1984-1990) sold 3.5x more units in the U.S. proving to be as popular as the Z33.
