When I first read about the Ford Mustang getting outsold by the Dodge Challenger for February and YTD sales I actually got a good laugh. My laughter was pure amusement as I really don't think everybody is comparing apples to apples. Yes the Dodge Challenger outsold the Mustang for February and YTD sales but sales of the Mustang over the last two months have been the worst in their 45-year history and also the fact a new refreshed 2010 Mustang model is about to hit dealer lots in April so nobody is buying now. Another driving factor for the 2009 Dodge Challenger is they are offering for the first time three different models which should increase sales. Those coincidental happenings have opened the door for the Dodge Challenger to have one glorious headline that we might never see again, so enjoy it while it lasts.

For those curious what the numbers are, the Dodge Challenger sold 3,283 units in February, the Ford Mustang sold 2,990, a difference of 293 cars. YTD sales for the Dodge Challenger are 6,040 to the Mustangs 5,934.

Brand new car vs. 5th year body style. A lot of people have been waiting for the Challenger. I think it appeals to a very limited market. Once that crowd has their cars sales will probably fall off. Not to mention Chrysler will do anything to move a car these days.

If the 05' Mustang was released at the same time as the new Dodge Challanger they would send all those tanks to Iraq. They are a nice car but heavy. Dodge slept and completely dropped the ball in the retro race-5 years late??????. Ford had a huge head start and overall sales for the dodge will never compete with the Mustang. I mean, look at the charger.Looks like a hurse--- and the hemi isn't even a hemi---lmao.enuff said

My sister and her hubby are looking to buy a new toy. Challenger and Stang are top two pics right now. I have been on a hard campaign to get them to make the right decision here. Trying to steer them towards GT 500 :D.

I've driven the 500 and my mother owns a 427r which i've raced. Don't overlook it. It's a better driving car and cheaper. Roush is the new Shelby of the millenium. In 25 years we'll be seeing tributed machines to him these Mustangs-History always repeats....
