And with all that said, I agree with the numbers... but just because we are comparing the Z to two models that have a disproportionaty high amount of sales, that doesnt mean the Z per say is a cult car. It just means those two car models sell like hot cakes, and have been around forever. Those cars also have a much wider range of use then the Z. And if we compare the Camaro and Mustang combined, against many cars they would be considered a cult.

I consider a cult following to be of a car that is somewhat rare, maybe sold in low numbers or many have been since destroyed, and is followed because of a hard to find nature, or a quarkyness. The Z does not have these qualities. Its rather inexpensive for the performance offered, I could go buy one right now used or new without even trying to find one. There is a large aftermarket for it.

I think it may have been a cult at the start, but I think it has out grown this.
