Mustang Outsells Camaro by 3 Vehicles
American muscle car competition in this day & age sure comes close. With the all new 2011 Ford Mustang and GM’s Chevy Camaro on dealership lots at the same time, there was no telling who would win the top position for best seller. In the end, Ford’s Mustang took home the gold – but boy was it close. The Pony outsold GM’s Camaro this July (2010) by only three cars.
According to Autodata, Mustang sold 7,489 models to Camaro’s 7,486. However, Camaro topped Mustang for the first seven months of 2010, 53,864 to 47,524. But the new 2011 Mustang could be a game changer for the Blue Oval.
This is the pony car that gets more than 30 miles a gallon from its 300-plus V-6 engine. Ford thinks that’s the first time that milestone has been achieved in a production car. And the V-8 is an absolute, blow-you-back-in-your-seat hoot.
In the end, both Chevy and Ford can take solace in one fact – they beat out The Dodge Challenger, which only made it to 3,695 sales in July.
