It’s true. For the first time since 1985, the Chevrolet Camaro will outsell the Ford Mustang in 2010. Besides giving the Bowtie Boys something to crow about, it also makes us genuinely intrigued to watch how 2011 unfolds, considering that Chevy plans to unleash its convertible and Z28 Camaro editions.

Somewhat surprisingly, Ford doesn’t seem too bothered. According to Ford sales analyst George Pipas, “If that was important, we wouldn’t have taken a shift off at Flat Rock,” which is where the plant that assembles the Mustang is located. That’s a somewhat dubious statement, since building too many vehicles in one model year only leads to problems for the next… In any case, this is a trend worth monitoring.
