The 2001 Camaro was the lowest production year ever for the Camaro, signally an end for the Camaro just one year later.  The 29,009 Camaros produced in 2001 were mostly due to a declining market but also due to the fact Chevrolet cut the 2001 year short to work on the 35th anniversary cars for 2002.  Engine output increased to 315 hp for the Z28 and 325 hp for the SS thanks to the use of some parts from the LS6 used in the Chevrolet Corvette.
