The Chevrolet Camaro may have slowed its sales pace this year when comparing to the first eight months of 2012, totaling 59,156 units year-to-date. That said, August was the best month of the year so far for the Chevy pony car, with sales spiking 32.96 percent compared to August 2012, selling 8,875 units.

That’s also over 3,000 more sales than what the Ford Mustang accounted for last month, at 5,866 units. The strong sales month for the Camaro also keeps the Mustang at bay in the sales race, with the Chevy on top, 59,156 units to 54,745 units.
