I thought the Camaro outsold Mustang year over year until the new Stang came out. Also, the Coyote didn't come out till 2011 I think (1yr after Camaro was out with 6.2L LS3) not to mention the LS3 was used in the Vette prior correct?

Would a 6.2L DOHCCoyote even fit in the Mustang Engine bay? Perhaps not and so I would say it's a fair comparison (5L v.s 6.2L) since they output close to the same power level. With that said, this is an article published by LSX mag, so it is likely biased. What's amazing to me is when I looked up fuel economy numbers and saw that even with 1.2L of extra displacement, the two engines were almost equal for consumption.
