Ford and Chevrolet are reportedly halting production on their respective flagship performance cars, the Mustang and the Camaro, for a week thanks to supply chain issues (via Jalopnik<\/em><\/a>). While the pauses probably won\u2019t make it that much harder to get a muscle car, they are just the latest in a string of automotive delays caused by shortages of chips and other supplies.<\/p>\n

According to WXYZ Detroit<\/em><\/a>, Ford is explicitly citing the chip shortage as the reason it\u2019s not producing cars at its Flat Rock assembly plant<\/a> where Mustangs are made. This isn\u2019t the first time the company has struggled with supply issues \u2014 it\u2019s had to cut back<\/a> on the production of the F-150 and other vehicles multiple times<\/a>, and earlier this year, it started selling Explorers<\/a> that were missing minor features, reportedly due to a lack of chips.<\/p>\n
