    How good is this... article in SMH

    http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/worlds-most-popular-sports-cars-20160426-gof2ju.html



    1) Ford Mustang GT
    First Produced: 1964
    Total sold: 10 Million

    2) Chevrolet Camaro
    First produced: 1967
    Total sold: 5 Million

    3) Chevrolet Corvette
    First produced: 1953
    Total sold: 1.5 Million

    4) Nissan Z Cars
    First produced: 1969
    Total sold: 1.5 Million

    Sticking to the same model that Mazda utilised with its MX-5, Nissan's range of Z cars were not about out-and-out power like the American sports car, instead utilising a combination of lightweight bodies and low-slung good looks to shoot it to stardom.

    In production since 1969, the Z cars - from the original 240Z through 260Z, 280ZX, 300ZX, 350Z and today's 370Z - have been popular for their affordable performance and rear-drive dynamics. But that character may be coming to an end as we know it as reports surfaced last year that the Japanese brand's successor to the 370Z may be an SUV.

    5) Mazda MX-5
    First produced: 1989
    Total sold: 1 Million

    6) Porsche 911 Carrera S
    First produced: 1963
    Total sold: 900,000

    Sorry to say, Ford didn't make 10,000,000 GT Mustangs.
    GT Mustangs are different to the standard Mustang, just like a GT Falcon is different to the standard Falcon.

    Obviously the guy who wrote the article on SMH wasn't as informed as you mate. Who cares about anything other than who's no 4 on the list!

    Also, Zds are far more expensive than MX5s. Just saying.
    Else Nissan would have sold a billion of them.
