DETROIT — Ford is cranking up the horsepower on the 2011 Mustang as it tries to win back muscle-car sales from its archrival, the Chevrolet Camaro.
Ford will introduce a 305-horsepower V-6 engine for the Mustang this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. For anyone counting, that’s one horse more than the Camaro’s V-6 — with a tad more fuel mileage — and far more powerful than the 210-horsepower V-6 on the 2010 Mustang. Through October, Ford had sold 56,469 Mustangs, topping Camaro by 9,136 vehicles. But momentum is on the Camaro’s side. In October, General Motors sold 8,082 Camaros, while Ford sold 4,789 Mustangs.
