With the style change for the 2015 Mustang I wouldn't be surprised if someone who wasn't brand loyal chose the Mustang over the Camaro.

If I was buying a V6 car, I'd probably rather have the eco-boost.

If I were choosing between the ZL1 and GT350, Idk what I'd choose. I'd take both if I was a millionaire, but I really don't want either though lol. I kinda like the Mustang interior more. With out any new Pontiacs, I have no desire for any of the newer cars.

Between the ZL1 and 350, for me, I'd take the ZL1 because I love the LSx engines. The newer LTx engines, I'd honestly lean more toward the GT car. Something isn't sitting well with me with these newer engines...

A guy down the street from me has a black 2013 ZL1. The car is gorgeous and sounds amazing. I swear he washes/waxes the thing twice a month. It is immaculate. If GM would put an LSA or even LS9 into the 6th Gen ZL1 instead of the LT4, I'd take it in a second. I'm just not sold on the LT4...

Lots of deciding factors over the last year played a direct role in the outcome of sales for the Camaro and Mustang.

New generation of the Camaro has been announced, so people could be holding back on buying one for this model year to opt into the new gen.

New generation of the Mustang hits the market with an IRS, and a turbo 4-banger which was quite popular in a new area of the market.

From a logical standpoint, the Camaro sales could top the Mustang sales next year when the new generation hits the market.

Only time will tell, but I am very excited to see what the new Camaro will do in terms of performance especially because it looks like the Mustang gained the weight that the Camaro lost.

I love the current 1le but knowing that the sixth gen is faster on a track already , makes it difficult to choose one over waiting for the new car even a standard ss
Plus the 8 speed auto sounds like a great gearbox

If you aren't overly picky about options or color, that shouldn't be a problem.
