okay thanks for the info I might do it and have it filled.

Nice car, but I'm a bit partial to LT1 SS's.
How do I get the build # I called slp and the number was disconnected?

The fact you've been paying more than you need to for 14 years doesn't mean that you have to continue for the rest of your life.

You seemed to be upset at the prices, so I was offering you an alternative. Using an independent broker is almost always the best option -- they'll shop around for you and find you the best rate. A really good broker like the one I use will even continue to shop once you're an established customer, so that if a better deal comes up later on, they'll find out, call you, and recommend that you switch.

I pay about $700 every six months for full coverage on three cars (my 2002 Z28, the GN, and a 2000 Bonneville), plus PLPD on my winter beater (a '93 Regal). That covers me and my wife, and we both have a couple points on our licenses from speeding tickets.

I'm upset that the insurance is more than a 1997 SS over a 2002 firehawk I just don't get that part. I appreciate the offer I will look into it since I see what you pay is purty cheap.

In '98 I had a '96 Z28 and paid over $400 a month for the insurance.

thats sucks I think we have all over paid for insurance when we were younger. I think premiums are great its just more money for a 97 over 02 I don't get that.

There are more camaros on the road than firebirds. The chances of a camaro being in a wreck is higher than a firebird, just due to the numbers. Corvette insurance is cheaper than a firebird, or camaro.

Well it's about time. And couldn't have picked a better year!!!! Only thing missing is the convertible top.

Definately need to at least get rid of the Z28 on the front. People will think your a poser.

Should be on the door sticker. IIRC it's on the passenger side.

Use this link http://www.camaro.ca/toolbox_vin.cfm From what I remember it gives build number, date, what factory and where, and some other good info.

I don't see why your making a big deal of it. There's a sticker on your door that says SLP. I believe the passenger side one should say SLP Car # and a number between 1 and 28xx.

My car isn't close to me (Stored at my moms house while I'm in school) or else I'd run out and take a picture of mine.

I don't get it. How is it posing when all SS models are upgraded Z28's? Since not all Z28's are SS' it could be considered posing if you were to add SS badging to a Z28. I'd get rid of the front plate only because it is not aesthetically pleasing.
