Chevrolet Camaro outsells Ford Mustang in June

[KrazyRider83]

Despite having fewer model variations on the market, pent up demand for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro appears to have been enough to send the bad Bowtie past Ford's redone Mustang in June. Sales figures for the month are beginning to trickle in today, and General Motors says it shifted 9,320 Camaro units last month, as compared to the Blue Oval's 7,632 Mustangs.

Whether Chevrolet's victory will be sustainable over the long haul remains to be seen, but as The General has a backlog of 10,000 sold orders to fill (equating to less than a seven day supply), the streak is likely to continue for at least the next few months. Presently, GM offers just two main Camaro models, the V6 RS and the V8-powered SS, while the Ford Mustang has more bodystyles and trims than you can shake a stick at (arguably making the Camaro's achievement seemingly that much more impressive).

Sales of the third leg of 2009's pony car table, the Dodge Challenger, trail far behind, with just 1,369 units cleared last month.

As the industry heads into the dog days of summer, it looks like America's renewed pony car war is just heating up. Who will take the crown for the whole year? Sit tight, muscle fans

Good news for American auto manufacturers. Now if the government would let them put big ass gas guzzlin' monsters in them they'd double their sales.

meh. not suprised, it's been how long since the last camaro came out? lotta people have been waiting. shoot, i want one (but don't tell anyone!).

^ Exactly, the mustang is already an older design now (even the 2010 redesign is only minor) while the Camaro is "NEW". My family is in the 7,632 of New 2010 mustang owners though...

all I have to say is Transformers may have MADE the new Camaro

[GingersRPeople2]

^speaking of transformers, what's with that silver corvette? is it a vette that they may produce or what? i'm not too informed on the chebby's.

^Nah, it's just a highly modded c6, just a design experiment! I didn't like it tho.

[mitzu]

well what did you expect? it would have been a good competition if both models came out at the same time but that didnt happen

[redcoats1976]

hope something goes right for the general...and i do like the mustang myself.

yeah it was a little bit much, but some of the features on it looked pretty good.

Paying homage to the '63 Split Window Stingray was cool

[Drivermod03]

I read up online and alot of sites were saying it was going to be a limited production car (Silver Vette) some were saying it was based off a Stingray...And about the Camaro out selling the Mustang,No shit it just came out..Most people who wanted a "new" Mustang already got one.

[zhillz]

The mustang is just so bla to me, but i do like the newer design better. If a buyer wasnt brand specific i would imagine they would think towards the camaro because they see mustangs everywhere. little do they know, the new camaro will be up there in numbers soon lol.

Mustang>Camaro
