If the Camaro is clearly the superior vehicle, the Mustang shouldn't even be mentioned or in the discussion. |
I couldn't disagree more. The Mustang has always been the Camaro's arch enemy, or if you prefer, closest competitor. There will always be comparisons by the various groups. I do believe the Camaro is superior in that it's chassis is newer and it also has an IRS that most independant people will admit is superior to a solid rear axle. In 2011 Mustang gets new engines. Will that help sales? YES! Of course it will. Will it level the playing field? That all depends. I have a 2SS/RS and while I drive it quickly, I don't drive it like a race car. I immediately fell in love with the body of it when I first saw it as a concept in 2006. While performance is hugely important, and bring with them bragging rights, I personally believe style sells these cars more than performance. The auto rags have been rooting for Mustang all year, all one has to do is read an article to know that so next year I don't see much change on that front. The sales race? Who knows who will sell more. I kinda hope the Mustang does. That will do two things: It will keep our cars more exclusive, and it will make Chevy try harder to best it. Both win-win's in my book.
