Part of me hates to see news like this, and rumors about the more powerful V6 coming in the 2012 Camaro, but as we all know, competition improves the breed, and while Ford hasn't exactly been sitting back on its laurels in regards to improving the Mustang the last few years, this should force them to keep on their toes with the pricing, features, and performance of the Mustang in the coming years.
If raw sales figures are going to be used in a pissing match with the Camaro fanboys though, we can just look at what the sales figures were for 2003-08 for the Camaro vs the Mustang. One year of better sales out of the last 23 or so for the Camaro doesn't mean much.

There is some pent-up demand from the mullet crowd:
Camaro sales:
2003 = Zero
2004 = Zero
2005 = Zero
2006 = none
2007 = ditto
2008 = nothing
2009 = a hand full
Of course, there would be no GM (or Camaro) without the bailout from the U.S. taxpayer.
What would a trailer park look like without a Camaro in the front yard?

That is mostly because of the early part of the year when they weren't producing ANY Mustangs for about a month and all the enthusiasts were waiting for the 5.0 and would not take a 4.6 off the lot that looked the same.
Even now, there are still 2010 4.6 cars still sitting on the lots while people wait for their 5.0 cars.
All bets are off for new year anyway as the price of gas goes up.
Fiestas will have ADMs.

Some positives from the graph:
1) At it's peak the mustang sold the most
2) I'll admit the Camaro won by a solid margin, but it wasn't a blowout by any stretch. Not like 4:1 ratio the Stang outsold the maro by to end its life in '02
3) There are many who still have '05-'09s that either due to economical reasons or personal preference didn't see the '10-'11 as enough of a change to make the jump. More than likely these same people will be primed to buy when the '14 debuts
That being said I'm will to be the race will be within 1000 cars between these two next year

Exactly. That is a big factor and cannot be ignored. Some Chevy people will never by a Ford product (and vica versa) and so now that demographic finally has a chance for a spin in a modern muscle car because they went without for so many years when it was the NoMaro.
Even though the 5.0 is awesome, many will not 'upgrade' to the diaper styling. 10/11 looks good until you get a glance at that rat's junk hangin below the trunk. If Ford wants the '14 to lure many of the 05-09ers in, they need to fix that rear end abomination.
