In a surprising twist of automotive fate, the Chevrolet Camaro has outpaced its long-time rival, the Ford Mustang, in sales for the first time in nearly two years in the USA. This unexpected victory comes amid Ford’s decision to halt Mustang production following a sharp decline in sales. In September, Camaro revved past the competition, selling 6,577 units compared to the Mustang’s 6,429. It seems the Camaro is back to remind everyone that it’s not just a flash in the pan but a full-on V8-powered comeback.
The Pontiac GTO 2004-2006, a rebadged Aussie import, hit American shores with a roar reminiscent of its ’60s glory days.

Despite its potent engine, it was met with a lukewarm reception—like serving Vegemite at a backyard BBQ. With only 40,808 units sold, it seems American buyers were more smitten with the Mustang’s mane than this GTO’s growl.
