The second generation of the Camaro was launched for the 1970 model year running through to 1981dubbed the Super Hugger the second generation was developed without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a greater budget justified by the success of the first generation. Longer and wider than the previous generation and reputed to be more of a drivers car. Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs. The chassis and suspension of the second generation were greatly refined in both performance and comfort; sound proofing and road holding.
The performance Z28 option was dropped due to ever-tightening emission standards that spelled the end of the higher-output versions of the 350 cubic-inch V8, The Z28 was re-introduced, in the Spring of 1977 s a 1977½ in response to dramatically increasing sales of Pontiac's Trans Am, and like the Trans Am the Z28 was an instant sucessand was powered by a 350 cubic-inch V8 with four-barrel carburetor and 185 horsepower (175 horses with California emissions equipment), with most cars sold equipped with air conditioning and an automatic transmission for a comfort-oriented public. The engine no longer came with the 4-bolt main bearing engine block, forged crank, forged pistons, big valve heads and performance camshaft that had always been part of the RPO Z28 Special Performance Package,
1981 was the last model year for the second generation Camaro, cars remained virtually unchanged from the 1980 model year, he Z28 was still powered by a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8, however due to new emissions regulations the engine was now equipped with a CCC (Computer Command Control) unit for the first time. This predecessor to modern engine control modules had an oxygen sensor, an electronically controlled carburetor, a throttle position sensor, coolant sensors, a barometric pressure sensor, a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP), and a check engine light on the dash. The transmission was now equipped with a lockup torque converter, controlled by the CCC as well. The CCC could also be used as a self-diagnostic tool. However, as the goal of this change was strictly emissions reduction, horsepower dropped to 175 hp
