When GM had more to do with the SS in 98, all SS's came with 17" wheels.
Also 96-97 SS's had a polished lip on the rim. I don't recall seeing anything from 98 on with that. Correct me if I am wrong.
I stand corrected. touche
Come to think of it, I've never seen a convert LT1 SS. I wanna see one.

This is what the camaro SS has over the z28
D/D (optional)
CME (optional)
Spoiler-standard
Hood (not functional on LS1) standard
18 inch zr1 or 10 spoke chrome or not-standard
Floor mats (optional)
deck mat (optional)
auburn rear end (optional)
the 345 hp option which concists of lid, and d/d exhaust or cme exhaust.
335 was the same thing except on a 2000 SS, it went up to 345 on 2001-02

thats all she wrote folks.

Don't forget, a few SS cars and a few Hawks got the LT4.

18"? Nope. All were 17" on the SS. You should know that, you have an SS.
non-functional hood? Nope. It did work. Outside air is delivered to the engine via the hood scoop. Now, the horsepower claim because of it may be far-fetched. But the hood is functional, it leads the air to the engine, thus a real scoop. Not like the non-functional scoop on the RAM SRT-10 and the SRT-4, those serve no purpose other than looks.

Those fake scoops serve as an air brake to help slow them down. Don't forget, the Mustang has the same thing on it.
