<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> has certainly upped the ante in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Mustang</a>/<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro">Camaro</a> wars for 2011. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/">Chevrolet</a> may have the upper hand in V8 power (Camaro is rated at 426 horsepower, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/16/2011-ford-mustang-gt-rocks-out-with-412-horsepower-26-mpg-highw/">Mustang GT</a> at 412), but the base 'Stang now uses a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/30/2011-ford-mustang-v6-la-2009-preview/">305-hp V6</a>, boasting slightly more power (one horsepower, to be exact) and better fuel economy (<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/04/2011-ford-mustang-v6-rated-31-mpg-highway-most-efficient-300-h/">31 miles per gallon</a>) over a comparable <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/22/the-joy-of-six-2010-chevy-camaro-v6-rs/">six-pot Camaro</a>.<br />
<br />
Even though the 2011 Mustang V6 only carries a touch more power and efficiency, Chevrolet isn't going to just sit back and take it all in stride. An inside source has told <em>Automobile</em> that the Mustang's top honors may be short lived, and that details on the 2011 Camaro will arrive in the very near future. We don't think that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a> will have much trouble cranking out a couple extra ponies from the Camaro's 3.6-liter V6, but can it surpass the Mustang's 31 mpg highway rating? Consider our interest piqued.<br />
