I think you're right. There's a reason Mustang has been number 2 in sales since March...

The reason is because the Camaro just came out. It would be a failure if it didn't.

Don't expect the same outcome in 2011

We'll see about that, won't we

Last month, Camaro doubled Mustang sales, and more than TRIPLED Challenger sales... Not that the Chally is a sales powerhouse or anything, just sayin LOL

The Mustang has been the lower performing car for nearly 20 years and IMO sold well because it was always fresh. If GM can keep the Camaro fresh I think the Mustangs reign as sales king over the Camaro year after year may be over, even if the Mustang can finally go toe to toe with the Camaro (performance wise) again. Either way I hope they both do well, and I hope the Challenger and Chrysler can survive as well, but it doesn't look very good.

There are a few of us that buy cars because one is faster than the other. Most people who buy these cars have no clue. Else the v6 version would never sell. The mustang has always been popular regardless of what car is "faster" Right now, the Mustang is in the same position it was in 2004. In 2004 the 2v GTs weren't selling very well. I've seen a few go off the lot for less than 21k new in 04/05. It was a great time for GM to put out the Camaro. Very smart for them. If both the Camaro and the new 5.0 Mustang had came out in 10 or 11, it would have been more interesting.

The fact that the V6 Mustang now actually has some ***** to it, (very small ones) it gonna sell wonderfully.

Of say 10 Mustangs and Camaros I see on the road, 8 of them are v6 models.

Leave it to the Stangvocate (no offense) to turn this thread into a turf war... Pretty sweet pix regardless, no?

I wasn't attempting to turn it into an argument. I was just making some friendly rivalry. My fav "pony" car is actually a 02 WS6. I am not so much a "stang" guy as I am simply an owner of one. I enjoy all 8v+ RWD cars for the most part.

And yes, the pics are awesome. I actually like the 4gens better than the 5th gens however.

Yosemite falls, on Blackstone. After that, you're dead on

IAG man, 96 Z28 was the first car to ever catch my attention, I'll always love that bodystyle. 5th gens are nice, and I definitely want one, but not at the expense of my 02
