<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> seems to have found the special ingredients it needed for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Mustang</a> to spank the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro">Chevrolet Camaro</a> in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/03/is-this-a-trend-camaro-beats-mustang-in-sales-for-second-straig/">sales</a>. Thanks to a heap of power from a range of efficient new engines, the Blue Oval's pony car managed to top the Bow Tie's bruiser in sales for the first time since the Camaro sauntered back onto the market last year. Last month, Ford managed to move 10,225 Mustangs off of dealer lots and into the hands of the power-crazed public. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/">Chevrolet</a>, on the other hand, saw only 8,931 Camaros drive off into the sunset.<br />
<br />
While the Mustang tended to rank higher in comparisons against the Camaro even before the new engines hit the scene for 2011, American buyers responded to the big power numbers and menacing style of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a> muscle car. Now that the Ford is cranking out slightly more grunt and marginally better fuel economy, Chevrolet may find itself playing catch up for the rest of the year. Not to worry, Bow Tie fans. It won't be long before GM's spicing up the Camaro lineup with the likes of a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/14/2011-chevrolet-camaro-convertible-makes-surprise-appearance-on-f/">drop-top</a> and the oft-rumored <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/01/2011-camaro-pricing-released-z-28-possibly-confirmed/">Z/28</a> may still be in the cards, too.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/mustang-sales-top-camaro-in-may/">Mustang sales top Camaro in May</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:58:00 EST.
