If poor visibility, questionable build quality, and a cheapo interior don't bother you, the Camaro is as fast as it gets for under $ 30K.
"From the country that invented rock 'n' roll" claimed the advertisements for this Quebec, Canada-built sport coupe when it was redesigned in 1993. A small technicality, we suppose, but there are no technicalities when it comes to the Camaro's performance abilities, particularly in Z28 or SS guise. These Camaros are blazingly quick, hold the road tenaciously, cost less than the average price of a new car in this country and get decent gas mileage when they're not being hammered along a twisty, two-lane road.
Two trim levels are available for 2001 in either coupe or convertible bodystyles. Base Camaros are powered by a 3800 Series II V6 that makes 200 horsepower. Mated to a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission, this sufficiently stout motor makes a strong argument for avoiding the higher insurance rates and prices of the Z28. An optional performance-handling package puts dual exhaust, tighter steering and a limited-slip differential on the V6 Camaro.
The Z28 is the go-faster Camaro. Equipped with a detuned Corvette 5.7-liter V8, the Z28 makes 310 horsepower, 50 more horses than the Mustang GT. Opt for the SS performance package and you get 320 real horsepower (same as the 1999 Mustang Cobra), thanks to forced air induction through an aggressive-looking hood scoop. The SS gets to 60 mph from rest in a little over five seconds. SLP Engineering - known for working magic with GM's F-Bodies since the late '80s - supplies the parts to turn a Z28 into an SS.
For 2001, revisions are few. Revalved shocks, newly restyled 16" chrome wheels, an additional five horsepower for the LS1-powered Z28 and one new exterior color are available.
The interior of the Camaro is functional, but cheap in appearance. Visibility is nothing to brag about either. The Camaro holds a respectable amount of gear in the cargo hold (more than 33 cubic feet of space with the generally useless rear seats folded down), and airbags and antilock brakes are standard.
Rumors are still flying that GM is set to kill the Camaro, and since no product is scheduled for the Canadian Camaro plant after 2002, those rumors are likely true. Steadily declining sales are to blame, and the company is eager to slice non-performing models from the lineup. If the Camaro dies, it would be a real shame because - from a bang-for-the-buck standpoint - the Z28 is unbeatable. More mature drivers can order traction control, but that option defeats some of the fun of Chevy's pony car: smoky, adolescent burnouts that leave the drivers behind choking on charred Goodyears.
The fourth generation of the Chevrolet "pony car" came in 1997 in both coupe and convertible configurations.
The Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was available as a convertible and had the main characteristics of the fourth-generation 1993 Chevrolet Camaro.
The 1997 Chevrolet Camaro came with a new interior and tri-colored stoplights and was only available in two versions: the Z28 and the Super Sport (SS) you see here.
The Camaro Coupe is the sibling of Camaro Convertible.
The 1993 Camaro represented the model's fourth generation.
Chevrolet is the auto equivalent of a gene-boosted steroid-pumped feline. The ferocious cat was groomed by Swiss born racing driver Louis Chevrolet and business whiz Buick resurrector and former GM head William Durant, as a joint venture that started in 1910. Shortly after Durant was forced out of GM, he partnered with Chevrolet, whom he had previously employed at his Buick racing team, to regain the popularity he had lost.
The Chevy headquarters was set in Detroit and the newly formed brand was baptized, receiving its famous “bowtie” logo in 1913. There are several hypotheses as to how the logo design came to be, two of them being the closest to unanimous acceptance. One of the theories hints at the logo having been designed after a poster Durant had seen in a French hotel while the second claims the “bowtie” is actually a stylized representation of the Swiss flag cross.
No matter how it originated, the golden Chevy logo persisted. In fact, the brand grew at such a fast pace that it allowed Durant to regain ownership of GM in 1916. After having become wealthy enough, Durant bought a smashing 54.5 percent of GM's shares, reinstating himself as head of the auto empire.
Soon after the takeover, Chevrolet was absorbed into GM, becoming a separate division. Having gained even more strength after the merger, the newly formed entity was quick in starting off production and launched the model D in 1918. The V8 35 hp engines fitted on these cars were replaced by smaller 6 cylinder ones, that proved particularly successful on commercial vehicles. The engine gained reputation due to its high durability and earned the “cast iron wonder” nickname.
Only a few years later, Chevy revealed the SUV in its archaic form: the Suburban Carryall. Sporting rough terrain riding capabilities, seating for 8 and weighing around 1½ tons, it marked the beginning of Chevy's future SUV line-up.
The American producer continued its successful innovations streak by introducing the Powerglide transmission in 1950, becoming the first low-price competitor to equip its vehicles with automatic shifting. Shortly after the introduction of the fully automatic transmission, the legendary Corvette was born.
The Vette had such a good reception that it remained the longest running Chevy model in the brand's history, having also been the first American sports car to enter mass production. The Vette also premiered the usage of lightweight construction materials for the car's body, like plastic, at that time.
Following the acclaim garnered by the Vette's release, Chevy launched several other models, including the flashy Impala and the short lived air-cooled Corvair. During the 60's, Chevy reached its sales peak with 3 cars out of any 10 sold in the US. However, before such a performance was achieved, Chevy designed a new small-block V8 engine used to equip its '55 truck range.
This particular engine made it till today, going through plenty of modifications in the process ranging from lightweight, durable aluminum construction to ECU managed control and modern fuel injection for better dosage and increased power.
Although Chevy has been registering lower sales in the past few years due to uncontrolled brand extension, some of the “bowtie” emblazoned automobiles have become either cult classics or vintage collectibles, four wheeled icons as reminders of a past age of glory.
2001 Chevrolet Camaro Consumer Reviews

Fun to drive, reliable enough
Love this car. Affordable, good looks. Some of the best suspension for a factory vehicle. Engine and transmission are great.
Handles great. NOTE: front wheels are toe'd out (easily adjusted) which makes for great cornering but on the highway the tires will grab any surface imperfections and go that direction. Makes the driver pay attention.
Convertible top works flawlessly and the material that it is made out of is excellent. Material is like a heavy canvas with good texture and looks.
Common to this model: window motors burning out because of low voltage. I installed an aftermarket window motor wiring kit.

Z28 2dr Hatchback (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Bullet Proof!!!
My car (2001 Z28) has been very reliable from day one. Bought it new fully loaded and now has about 92k miles, I hope I didn't jinx it. I think as long as it continues to receive proper maintainance, this beauty will continue to run strong for eons. It's truly a looker and I've been asked many times if I want to sell it and the answer is always no. Too bad I can't post a pic here to show her off.
Here's your update (Sept. 2017): For almost a year now, I've been filling her up with the Shell Nitro Plus premium gas. It cost a little more but it (Shell) definitely delivers what it claims (about the gas), and my 2001 Z28 surely deserves quality stuff now and then. The latter is just my own personal view and NOT a recommendation. PEACE!!!

Very solid all around muscle car
I purchased my 2001 Camaro SS back in 2004; it was 3 years old, and had 18k miles. The original owner purchased it and hardly drove it, as he had several cars. The car has t-tops, LS1, and a 6 spd manual trans. The car has more power than most need in stock form; in modified form, it can make a lot more. The LSI engine is bulletproof (if you maintain it) and fairly ecomomical for a large V-8. I have made several 600-700 mile road trips on the highway, and averaged 25-27 mpg! The 6 spd has a double overdrive, so at a steady 70-75 mph, in 6th gear, it is only turning @1500 rpm on the tach (it idles at 850 rpm)! The car is well built, and has no rattles or leaks (it has 48K miles).

Traded in at 118,400mi, bought at 12mi
Car was great in the beginning, grad present from parents. Drove fine, had problems from 3k miles on, replaced almost everything in the car at least 2x from the CD player that got too hot to play CDs to the entire rear axle that 2 bearings went bad in and wore the axle shafts out. Coil pack replaced 2x, ignition replaced, fuel pump replaced, clutch master cylinder replaced. Lots more done to the car, but all in all it was a decent ride.

2002 Chevrolet Camaro
"Love my car!!"
This car has been totally dependable since day 1. The only reason for the 4 stars on comfort is the location of the catalytic converter under the foot area of the passenger which is no big deal if you are the requisite 5 foot 4 inch female that it is designed around - I'm 5"11" and the foot room is uncomfortable on long distance travel. That is the only thing I don't care for. If I'm driving, who cares!! This thing handles so well and that is the reason I bought it. You want some some nice comfy ride, buy a Buick and have a nice day, old fuddy duddy!

1994 Chevrolet Camaro
"I’ve owned this car since new, 25 years."
I’ve had normal problems, not trans or engine. It rides rough, but no worse than the 2011 Camaro we bought and kept for just 3 years. We called the 2011 “Bonecrusher”. Horrible blind spots on the newer one too.
The 1994 is so much fun to drive, cornering is awesome! And while not as fast as newer models, this car is still plenty fast. Great paint, both original and some new as the result of a dump truck sideswipe. Garage kept always, frequently waxed.
I kept a 1968 GTO for over 50 years. I’ll keep this car just as long. Well, somebody in the family will have it.

1997 Chevrolet Camaro
"97 30th anniversary 3.8 litre v6 automatic"
The car is sporty love the looks of the 94-97 camaro doesn't have a lot of out of the box torque i own the v6 3.8 litre but you get to 50 mph it wants to run have a hard time keeping it under 70 in a 65 mph zone it's a cruiser. Not very comfortable on 4 hour drives maybe it's because I am older but it is fun to drive engine is reliable and tough. Dash and interior is like new nothing rattles. T tops don't leak Really enjoy driving it as a commuter did I mention its fun.
I have owned and still have a 2009 Kia amanti it is now 2024 I have 51000 miles on this car excellent handling in all weather except ice and deep snow very fast in traffic I think the handling is tight and responsive. My spouse has driven this on the interstate frequently and the first thing he did was get it up to 220 mph at this speed is floaty but under 80 mph just a pleasure to drive *****
