1981 brought the end of an era in more than one way. The 1981 was the

last of the second generation Camaros, and the first of the computer

controlled Camaros (debut of CCC, or Computer Command Control). More 

electronics=less horsepower. The Z28 350 was down 15 horsepower to 

175, and worse yet, the 350 was available only with an automatic. All 

4 speed Z28s sold in the US got the 305, a pattern that would go 

years into the third generation Camaro. Automatics received a lock-up 

torque converter which functioned in second and third gears with the 

Z28 and third only for the rest of the Camaro line.



The Computer Command Control monitors six different powertrain 

functions and controls as many as eight engine/transmission 

operations, replacing the California only C-4 system of 1980.  

The CCC has an oxygen sensor system, an electronically controlled

variable-mixture carburetor, a three-way catalytic converter, 

throttle position and coolant sensors, a barometric pressure sensor 

(BARO), a manifold absolute Pressure sensor (MAP), and a check engine 

light on the dash.  It can also be used as a self diagnostic tool by 

tapping into the system.



Canadian optioned Z28s could still be had with the 350 and 4 speed 

combination, and the more relaxed Canadian emissions allowed that 

their 350 engines were not computer controlled like the US engines.  

A 1981 Canadian Z28 is basically a 1980 US Z28.
