^^^^^2/3 of all sales are V6...I agree most dont care about 1/4 Mile times, but the V6 Camaro looks a whole hell of alot better than the V6 Stang....and its equipped with a 304hp engine that runs the 1/4 along side of the SN-95 V8 Stangs
The V6 always leads in sales, and I think the Camaro will continue to sell at a high rate. Time will tell

I spent quite a bit of time looking at both cars. In the end there were several factors that made me pick the 2010 Mustang. First, Chevy dealers acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you put down $2000 non refundable, on a full price (or more car) that wouldn't be there for 3-4 months. Some dealers didn't even have allocation and would take money to put you on list, and then would order when they did have allocation (once you moved up their internal list). I went to a few dealers and I just didn't feel comfortable in the transaction...all the GM crap didn't help. Was that dealer even going to be there in 3 months? I felt like saying, "hey, isn't your company is hurting?...show some sign you actually want me to buy a car, and didn't I see this thing in a movie like 3 years ago". I had owned a Mustang before and enjoyed it, so I had some bias going in...but if the Camaro was "the car" I was going to get it.
Now not reading numbers in the brochure...just going by feel, the two cars were super comparable. The interior is great, they both drive well and feel powerful. The Camaro maybe edges out on the new wow factor but when I took my 2010 Mustang to the track it got a lot of attention too.
So, I hit the Ford dealer....and dang they actually want to sell a car. And wow, it is a huge amount cheaper (about $5260 for comparable Camaro I was looking at). And can you believe it, they actually have them on the lot.
So in the end, availability, price, company, dealership on a tested a tweaked Mustang helped win my vote. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Camaro, heck I almost bought one but for me Mustang was the right choice and I am loving it.
They're just having a hard time keeping up with all the old people with wet dreams from the 60s. Once the hype is over this car will most likely see the same fate the last Camaro and GTO did. Most of the general public does not care about 1/4 mile times. It wouldn't surprise me if it sold well ---- for the first year or so. GM just wanted to get this car out before they went under....and now we're all part owners as tax payers. Maybe we should give them insight.....like an interior that doesn't look like my friend's pontiac g5 on the inside.
Like we said once the Stang gets the new motors the tide will turn especially after the Camaro newness wears off. When the GT gets the 5.0 the V6 will be a new engine too which should be comparable to what the Camaro has.
again, thats debatable. I personally cant stand the new Camaro, especially its crap ass interior. It cant even begin to compare to the 2010 Mustang inside. The backhalf of the Camaro in person is just terrible.
It seems you think Ford isnt spendind tax payer dollars: As of June 23,2009

Im sure Uncle Sam is going to get Every dollar back plus a couple Billion !!!
I rented a 2010 V6 Camaro for a day to see if I would like driving it. The car handles great, but visibility out the rear quarters is non-existant. And the passenger seat is practically on the ground. The Mustang interior is much better. For all these reasons I just ordered my Kona Blue GT.
