The New Chevrolet Camaro Beat the Ford Mustang in Sales in 2012

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 23, 2013 - Chevrolet of Homewood (http://www.homewoodchevy.com/) has long been one of the top auto dealers in Illinois, providing their customers with the latest Chevy vehicles, as well as pre-owned vehicles from a variety of automakers. One of the most exciting vehicles on their lot is, of course, the Camaro, and it should come as no surprise that it has consistently outsold its rivals. In fact, in 2012, the Camaro outsold the Ford Mustang for the third year in a row.

Fans of Chevy’s muscle car (http://www.homewoodchevy.com/inventory?t=n&make=Chevr...) can take heart that they’re choice has been endorsed by overall sales. In 2012, 84,391 Chevrolet Camaro models were sold, compared to 82,995 Ford Mustang models. In the muscle-car race, Dodge was a distant third, having sold only 43,110 Challenger models. The gap was even more pronounced in 2011, with the Camaro selling 88,249 units and the Mustang selling 70,438 units.

The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro has established its place at the top of the muscle-car heap, and that isn’t likely to change anytime soon. Iconic styling, impressive handling, and power to burn are all calling cards of this vehicle. It’s even available as a convertible, enabling drivers who crave the wind in their hair to experience true top-down thrills.

Of course, many drivers choose the Chevrolet Camaro for raw thrills, and the 2013 model delivers in spades. LS and LT models come equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine that produces 323 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, while SS models come equipped with a 6.2L V8 that pumps out 426 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Those who want to make the most of their time on the road will want to go with the ZL1 model, which features a supercharged 6.2L V8 that churns out 580 hp and 556 lb-ft of torque. The latter engine is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds.

The 2013 Camaro is available now at Chevrolet of Homewood, and drivers throughout the area are welcome to visit their dealership (http://www.homewoodchevy.com/contact-us) for a test drive. Located at 18033 S Halsted St. in Homewood, Illinois, they’re proud to offer an extensive inventory of new and pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs.
