But yeah... The Mustang/camaro are definitely enthusiast cars just as much as the Z is. Lots of people by this car for looks/status over performance/heritage too. For every one enthusiast driver there are 10 others that don't care about anything else other than looks/status/etc.

There are enthusiasts who buy stangs. But enthusiast cars usually arent marketed as such. honeslty speaking. Most buy enthusiast cars cuz thety have knowledge.
But the market isnt comprised of enthusiasts buying those cars. Some enthusiasts will buy Gt's in there affordability range due to the Ford racing factor, but overall those cars dont sell for being enthusiast cars... Period. It's more of an american heritage thing and thats a false sense of enthusiasm. To me an enthusiast really knows what they have and enjoyb the car for more reasons than factory location and social acceptance. Most stang and camaro owners know they have a fast v8. thats it.

Thats the truth

I am just going to have to disagree with you there. I have been involved with th Z And Mustang for a long time and both enthusiast groups are about the same. There is more focus on stance and hellaflush with the Z, though.

ur not disagreeing at all. Cuz you are an enthusiast who likes cars. You dont represent 90% of the stang community. Remember the stang sells 10x more than the Z. The ratio and proportion of enthusiasts is higher in the Z than the population of mustang buyers. But the population of mustang enthusiasts is higher than Z enthusiasts. Thats by default.

You're just disagreeing cuz you don't like the way i worded it, but in fact you're agreeing the the stang enthusiasts are a community. not the stang population of buyers.
