  • Outstanding Camaro SS - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I have had this car now for 5 years. I use it as a highway vechicle only, so it rarely gets used. It has held up well and is a blast to drive. Wish they still made the Camaro. Glad I bought one of the last ones made.

  • My baby! - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro

    Bought new, and only ride on weekends in dry weather. One of my pastimes is to get out in the country on early Sunday mornings when there is no traffic and let er go! Wouldnt trade it for too many cars. Made a few improvements - exhaust, skip-shift eliminator ,short-stick with reduced travel gate, and larger petals for heel & toe, grill. Im considering 1owering springs, but dont want to stiffen the ride (Michigan roads - suggestions?). I also may get 18" wheels and tires.

  • A great car for the money - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    The 3.8 v6 is an awesome motor. The monsoon stereo is must for me. This car surprisingly gets good gas mileage! I would buy another 01 Camaro tomorrow. Ive also owned a 96 and a 68, but i really like this model the best. An excellent car for the money.

  • One really fun SS - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    This is one great affordable sportscar. Mine is the SS with the Tremec 6-speed, I wouldnt 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.

  • Camaro SS Kicks Ass - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    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?

  • No better sports car made ! - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    Pure power . I put les then 200 bucks into it and I was running 12 second quarter times on stret tires . I have put 100k on the car now , I drive it constantly . Very reliable ! Plus I had it dynoed stock , and it dynoed 304 to the wheels . That means that this car has over 340 HP stock . Not the 305 advertised . I had a 99 Mustang GT before buying this . This car destroys it in power , and performance . Getting better gas milage too .

  • Z28 Awesome Fun to Drive! - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    Awesome power and handling. Acceleration puts you back in the seats and it hugs curves and hills. T- tops are next best thing to motorcycle freedom. Very fun to drive! Only con for me is after two years, sitting so low is getting old (of course so am I). I get nearly 20 MPG city and nearly 30 on the highway with V-8 6- speed (premium fuel only, especially in city). In 2 years and 41K miles, my only maintenance other than oil has been a minor brake adjustment.

  • Nothing Compares - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    Simply the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I love this car. I had a 99 Z-28 automatic but when I heard that they were killing the Camaro, I traded it in and got a 01 SS Sunset Orange Metallic w/ 6 speed manual. What a blast! I will keep this car until the day I die.

  • SSs are great - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    Purchased 2 years ago. Only drive it 6000 miles per year. The fun factor is off the scale. Just as fun as a vette but at a fraction of the cost.

  • Camaro, Camaro, Camaro... I love it... - 2001 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    Well, I wanted a car that could out perform all my little import friends and hang with the big boys, the camaro gave me that. Even though I have a 3.8L V6 I can out perform honda civics and Celicas. I have heard numerous people say dont get this car because it is not all that, its heavy and slow, and insurance is sky high. Well, the car is heavy and it can be slow (only because you arent pressing the gas hard enough to accelerate like a rocket), and buying this car will force you to shop around for auto insurance. Oh yah, the automatic transmission does sap some punch but there is enough torque that it doesnt effect the performance that much.
