1094 of all the 6332 SS cars in 2001 were red. 87 of those red SS cars were hardtops.
number of 2001 SS red hardtop M6 cars: 56.

The final and correct production counts for code 81 - Bright Red in 01 are as follows:
Coupe with six-speed.......547
Coupe with Auto.............359
No further break down of the coupe with or without T-tops was ever released from GM or SLP. Use caution - there are tons of bogus numbers floating around. Most on the internet are flat out wrong, incomplete, or some uninformed persons guess.

They may not have been entirely accurate, but they are close (and did come from SLP), and are used by many people, as slightly inaccurate but with much more detailed breakdowns is a trade-off most people are willing to make.
And actually, you don't know that the Camaro White Book numbers are the ones that are correct instead of SLP's (or somewhere in between!). The White Book says its numbers "are presented as provided by Chevrolet" (which tends to have some small differences between its numbers and SLP's), and even says some discrepancies are present from one section of the book's charts to another, and sometimes "no explanation is apparent". So how do you know what the 100%-correct numbers are, if even they can't figure it out?
These are not some random bogus guesses, so perhaps you could have just posted those 547/359 numbers and left out your little commentary.

I see you've complained about this before... wishing you'd bought an 01 instead?

"Outdated" would mean that more accurate numbers with a similar level of detail have become available. When did that happen?
Also, you conveniently seem to have ignored almost everything I've said in the other posts, apparently because you couldn't think of a 'smart' response for the rest of it.
Oh, and since the White Book numbers came from Chevrolet (which is part of GM), as I re-said in my "same dang thing" post and you managed to miss again, and the numbers there are identical to what you posted, how the hell is it not the same dang thing that coming from the White Book = coming from GM?

ACW, Sebring 00 is probably missing your posts cuz he's stuck in traffic bro. Which, I'll only speculate as to why he's stuck in traffic, but it may have something to do with him being blind as a bat - maybe he missed his exit - since we obviously know he can't read.
