Like a pair of heavyweight prize fighters trading blows, the Camaro and Mustang continue to fight for sales and performance supremacy here in America. According to the dudes at Camaro5.com, 6,321 Camaros left dealer lots in August as opposed to 5,570 Mustangs. Obviously the inhabitants of the Camaro-centric site were happy with this news.

The Dodge Challenger (which we still think is the hottest looking car of the troika) seems to be withering on the vine in the face of competition, moving a scant 3.283 units. 

While it is awesome that there is a sales battle to write about, we need to put things in perspective. In 1987 Chevy sold 137,760 Camaros which is an average of 11,480 per month, verging on double current volume. If that isn’t a reality check on where the automotive marketplace is right now, we don’t know what is.

We’ll stop being a wet blanket now and remind ourselves that it is still possible to walk into a showroom and score a hunk of American iron with more than 400 hp, in three different styles. That’s good news any way you slice it.
