The Chevrolet Camaro was first produced by Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors in 1967. It was built to compete against the Ford Mustang. Both cars quickly became wildly popular, and both have achieved huge amounts of success.

The Chevrolet Camaro's most popular cubic inch displacement engine is the Chevrolet 350 small block. The Chevrolet 350 small block had varying ranges of power output. The most recent version of the Chevrolet Camaro 350 is the LS1, which has its roots in the Chevrolet Corvette.

Chevrolet deemed the Camaro ready for such power levels, and the latest version of the Chevrolet Camaro received this mighty power plant, and the model name for the LS1 equipped Chevrolet Camaro was the SS, or Super Street.
