I also don't think they have the historic prestige of some other cars. Guys who have been into racing forever understand the history of the Z, and maybe it's history as the poor mans race car hurts it a little. The fact that both Steve Mcqueen and Paul Newman chose to drive them at certain points in their racing careers attracted me when I was younger, and still makes me love them a lot. So to guys just getting disposable income the BMW or MB looks like a better status symbol than the lowly Japanese sports car, which they don't understand changed the shape of the import market.
