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.

With a grand total (including extras) of $33,495 there aren’t many who may see it reasonable to ship a car out for weeks at a time for such an enhancement.

The X-1 features a three-valve Ford Racing heads inside the 4.6 liter engine, which brings it up to 500 horse power. Gull-wing doors swing upward to give it more of a “jet-like feel.”

Mustang X-1 contains one seat, like a jet plane, pedals on either side of the center console, with flight stick in the middle, replacing a steering wheel. Three “advanced instrumentation panels” take up a lot of space, and monitors on the panels show night/thermal-vision! Let’s hope this baby will be available for the general public to check out.

2008′s KITT is not ordinary Mustang. He’s a fully worked-up Shelby GT500KR Edition (early reports from Ford claimed the “KR” did not stand for “Knight Rider” and was just a coincidence. Maybe there are no coincidences in the world of “product integration” – but the KR does go back to a 1968′s Shelby Mustang King of the Road edition, sorry to crush your speculation kids.

Knight Rider’s Shelby boasts more than just a hunky driver and movie-star voiced Artificial Intelligence system. The vehicle can pump 540 horse power out of it’s 32-valve V-8  engine. Not bad for what is essentially a “prop” – no disrespect KITT. Ok, we know the car is just as much a star of the NBC series as actor Justin Bruening is portraying Mike Traceur.

Some of KITT’s new systems for the upcoming season (premiering September 24th on your local NBC affiliate) include overhead holographic displays, a “Super Pursuit” Mode, and even some Turbo Boost.

There is no reason to hold a grudge, classic Knight Rider fans – as you can see this updated version is Hasselhoff Approved!
