Cult followings are usually geared to a certain type of person, vs something that appeals to the masses. Purchasing a Z does NOT appeal to the masses.
No matter how many people may like the Z. Many opt out of purchase for american muscle or german GT's. That said. The Z only appeals to a certain type of person. ie cult. Your definition of cult is muttled with the "exclusive" and "rare car" definitions. Cult is something else.

DEFINITION: A cult following is a group of fans who are highly dedicated to a specific area of culture.

I would describe most Z enthusiasts as such.
Lasty, corvettes have been around 6 decades and they still have a cult following. as popular as they are. I consider vettes. cult cars based on the definition of cult. Based on it sells in domestically low volumes for a sports car, most purchases are from heritage/culture educated owners and a good ratio of owners are involved in some type of corvette social activity. like many Z owners. Corvette won't ever sell in high volumes to the masses. And it's more than a niche car based on the type of people who buy them.

Evo and STi also have a cult following.
I think our difference in definition is based on the amount of people required for it to be considered a cult. I dont think the Z fan base is small enough for that as it has been growing over the years, and is more in the mainstream now. This scenario leaves every other sports car on the market open to the term of cult following with the exception of the Mustang and Camaro.

The Delorian is not exclusive, it is rare, but one does not have to jump through hoops to obtain it, and it is not very expensive. It is a cult because few desire it, and have a passion for it. The Z crowd by comparison is massive, maybe not the size of the Mustang group, but I wouldnt consider it small by any means.
