Since you do wanna talk about sales figures. How many more mustangs did ford sell from 2002-2009 vs the camaro/ta?? I think the camaro could outsell the mustang for the next 15 years and still not catch up to total number of vehicles sold since 2002. Lets take it all the way back to the beginning. Im pretty confident to mustang is WAYYYY ahead of the camaro in all time sales.

BTW This was one bad ass commercial and anybody who says differently is simply a hater.
What is this spanking you speak of?

Motor Trend: GT 12.7 sec @ 111.3 mph, SS 13.1 sec @ 110.8 mph
Car and Driver: GT 13.2 sec @ 109 mph, SS 13.0 sec @ 111 mph
Road & Track: GT 13.2 sec @ 109.3 mph, SS 13.0 sec @ 110.7 mph (0-120 mph: GT 16.4 sec, SS 15.4 sec), Willow Springs Lap: GT 1:37.6, SS 1:37.7)
Inside Line: GT 13.3 sec @ 107.3 mph, SS 13.1 sec @ 110.4 mph

But the GT500 will...oh right, the GT500 vs ZL-1 hasn't been performed yet...

The Mustang is a fine automobile with an important heritage rooted in American car culture. But to say either of these cars "spanks" the other is ridiculous.

Only the Motortrend results are valid.

Seriously though, that was a good commercial.

Is it just me, or does it kind look like the cab behind it?

Car asside, I liked the commercial quite a bit.

A beautiful woman in tall red boots, a muscled male with tats and a cute kid.....balerina no less.............BAMMMM!!!!!! Call it a commercial.

Seriously liked it though.

What were they advertising again?

More like 1/2 .

It could if you only counted male buyers.

Cool commercial! I love what they did with 2013s. They fixed everything I didn't like about the earlier ones.

Cool commercial, by the way!!
To me it's still unmistakable.
