2001 Chevrolet Camaro SS review from North America
"Beautiful, Very Fast, Z06 Wheels, A High Performance Street Rod!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Rotors warped at 11,000 miles, Dealer turned them.
Slight engine tapping noise at startup.
Dealer replaced "O" ring (11,000 miles) did not help.
(15,000 miles) Engine noise now very loud Determined it was the infamous "Piston Slap" Dealer replacing all 8 pistons at 17,800 miles.
(15,000) Front rotors warping again.
Rear hatch does not always open like it should.
General comments?
Had a 92 RS, 95 Z28 LT1, and this 01 SS is even faster.
Forced air induction, All reviews on the LS1 Z/28 SS state that it beats any stock mustang including the Cobra.
All Camaro SS's go through SLP (Street Legal performance Engineering) prior to delivery for performance upgrades.
Several reports of mid to high 12's in the 1/4 mile stock!
Poorer mans Corvette!
Would buy again, but they stopped making them after 2002 Bad Move!!!
