Camaro SS Kicks Ass

2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 2dr Hatchback (5.7L 8cyl 4A)

The 2001 Camaro SS is the most straight forward, reliable, stylish and fun car I have ever owned. I bought it because of the LS1 V-8 powerplant never thinking that it would become a classic AMERICAN car. The only problem I encountered thus far (45K)was a small broken spring for seat retraction. Kudos Chevy. My Kerry/Edwards sticker does it proud and loud! Now on to the 2005 Corvette?
One really fun SS

This is one great affordable sportscar. Mine is the SS with the Tremec 6-speed, I wouldn't trade the 6-speed for a automatic, no way! The engine and the stick works really nice together. This is a such a fun and fast car to drive. Hitting 80 mph is so easy you really have to watch out.

To be completely honest, I've allways been an F-body fan. I dreamt of having this car in high school and I got it. Now that's out of the way, this truly is a great car. With $123 invested in a simple lid, the car runs 12.9 1/4 on street tires and puts down 310 hp to the rear wheels with an automatic. Just impressive. I have had the car up to very extra legal speeds and it's rock solid. On the corners, it could use a better wieght ditribution, but it'll still outhandle 90% of the cars out there. There is a leak on the drivers side window. I average 19 city and 28 highway. With this much power on tap, that's awesome. For my money, this car is everything I was expecting.
Fun car to have/drive

It's a fun car to drive. The power is exceptional and it seems to never end. The handling is also very superb, as well is the braking. Like they say, its a cheap man's Corvette. I have had good gas-mileage with the car, mostly on the highway. In the city it can eat up some gas. The seats are so-so for long trips. Needs more lumbar support and better, softer bottom cushions. The exterior styling takes some getting used to as well as the interior could have gotten a bit more attetion. However, your mind is completely taken away from those slight flaws once you roll into acceleration. Its amazing that GM outpowers and out handles its competitors with "aged" technology.
Great Used car choice

I just bought my '01 RS Camaro, and I must say, it is the nicest car I've ever driven. It rides so nice, and the car handles like no other. It pulls a lot of power, too, out of the 3.8 V6. Chevy hit the nail on the head with the '98-02 Camaro. I don't think they could make anything better. T-tops are an excellent alternative to a convertible, and the Monsoon sound system installed from the factory makes your music sound as good as your car looks. I recommend this car to anyone interested in a used sports car.

The car has exceptional acceleration, handling, and styling. The magazines tend to give these cars a bad rep about reliability. This is the second 4th generation Camaro I have owned, and they are BULLETPROOF! Mine have handled lots hard miles, and never once have let me down. These cars provide the BEST bang for your buck!
Sweet SS

Brute force muscle as it was meant to be. This car has NO panache and never should as a true muscle car was meant to be. G.M. has sold me my last new vehicle.....My loyalty to G.M. dies in 2002 along with the Camaro. I have owned 8 of these cars and loved every one of them. Now G.M. seems more interested in selling trucks and SUV's to the lemmings of the world.
Cheapest Horsepower You Can Possible Buy

It's an old 90s styled car built by GM. What did you expect? Luxury and comfort certainly aren't the highlights of the car. If you're like me then you bought this car for one thing and one thing only....SPEED! The 5.7L LS1 is one of the best engine platforms to date and still holds its own against the cars of today. For $12,000 or less you could buy a used F-body Camaro and have more than enough horsepower to smoke half the cars on the road. It has tremendous horsepower potential with a cheap budget and an unbelievably large amount of aftermarket support. It makes a great daily driver and the gas cost isn't astronomical as most would like to believe (just remember you can only use 91/93 octane due to high compression ratio). Overall it's a cheap,fast, and fun car that won't let you down.

I purchased this 01 Red Camaro Drop Top with less than 10 K original miles on it. The paint shines with a deep luster, the engine hums like a finely tuned one. So far NO major issues, although I’m replacing all of the suspention bushings front and rear, putting on a set of Blistein Shocks at all four corners. Power Stop Slotted and Drilled Brake Rotors Frt and Rear along with calipers and pads, Hoskins Shock Tower Brace, Piaa LED Headlamp Bulbs (installed), a pair of Hella Driving Lamps. Pacesetter Headers, K&N HP Air Filter and so on. It’s going to be a “Show Car”

Only normal maintenance issues over the period of 12 years that I owned my car. Leaks around the windows and top and taillight assembly's held water from I have no idea where. Sockets always burned out. Major factory issue I believe

I bought my camaro in 2002 with 19k. I've owned it 22 years and clocked 237k. No issues except fuel pump (2) coil packs, and a new clutch. Drives just like the day I bought it! I did take really good care of it though.

wow, if you like going straight, get this car, but if you like going through the twisties, get something a little cheaper like an acura rsx which I traded my camaro in for and it's 10X more fun to drive.

It was a great car at first. But then the brakes started to squeal. I was find with that until I was driving down the high way and the engine died. I couldn't get it started again, so i just got rid of it and got my self a Mustang GT. I suggest you do the same.
Anti-econobox car

This is my second Camaro, the first being a '95 Z28. I far prefer the V-6 in the '01 as it doesn't have the artificially inflated boy toy racer rumble and with 200 hp has more power than the '90 V-8. The Z28 was also hard to handle when power was applied in anything other than a straight line. The car gets 32 mpg at 80 mph - no kidding! So today's kids get 4 door econoboxes instead of a 5 star safety rated, 30+ mpg economical and fun Camaro. Go figure. As others say, GM got it right, but they just didn't market it for its best attributes.
