Mega retailer CarMax is reporting that since January, online searches for sports cars on its website have jumped eight percent, with April having a six percent jump over search activity in March.

Which car is the big winner? The Ford Mustang! This is the first month that the pony car has landed the top spot in searches in the last several years. Rounding out the top twenty were the Infiniti G35, Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Corvette.

Consider the fact that GM has had to add an extra shift at its Canadian factory to keep up with demand for the new Camaro and I think its safe to say that powerful sports cars are far from dead.
