2000 – Waning Interest

While we all fretted about Y2K computer crashes and bought SUVs and pickup trucks in droves, the Camaro foundered. Sales bumped along at near historic lows, and new alloy wheels for the Z28 model didn’t help matters in 2000. The model lineup continued with coupes and convertibles in base, Z28, and SS models with a 3.8-liter V6 making 200 horsepower standard on base Camaros, a 305-horse 5.7-liter V8 standard on Z28, and an air-inducted 5.7-liter V8 making 320 ponies standard on the SS version.
