that one you can see it says ss and looks like an SS.
this one, http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...or=&cardist=26
says Z28, but looks like an SS and the thing that got me is the pacard above the radio apears to say 'camaro', and i thought the SS was supposed to say SS or something similar. i called the dealer and the insist its a SS and that the made a mistake in one of the ads. seems strange.

 

Mine says Camaro on it as well.

No biggie - you can buy them from SLP - assuming that you can give the vin # to your SS.


That is how I got my SS floormats - yes, another option.

I called Terri at SLP and had them check the VIN for you. It's a real SS, they just didn't have the dash plaque as a selected option when it was built. Hope this helps.

thanks alot for the help and the phone call, that was really nice of you. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

No problem, glad to help. Good luck.

 

They won't sell you SS parts unless you actually have a SS? What an odd way to make money.

 

It helps maintain the value of our numbered specialty vehicles. Otherwise, conversions would be worth as much as originals.

 

well, i just went to see the car and i was not impressed. it had scratches all over the sides, and it had obviously been repainted at some point. I could see bubbles in the paint, and mucho orange peel. i sold my 95 Z about 1.5 years ago and it was in better cosmetic shape than this car. I couldnt comment on how this car drove cause I had seen enough from the outside to know I would not buy that car. what a bummer.

 

Sorry to hear that didn't go well for you.

You dead set on an SS or would you be interested in a Firehawk? Here's a listing I found for the Camaros that may help:

well, im not dead set on an SS, but if I got a Z, i would soon after be buying the hood, spoiler and wheels. I would care less about the name 'SS' , i just preference the look better.

 

Then for the price, just get the whole package.

 

could always try and find a 96-97 SS if you liked the LT1, but for a LS1 i wouldnt get a 98-99 i guess there were problems in some of them, id try and get a 2000 -2002 if your gonna get a LS1

 

well, I just found out that the new GTO has $2000 cash back as well as 2.9%.
Im so torn between getting the GTO(what i really want) and increasing my payments which I can afford; or getting a used car that is just as fast and lowering my payments to save money. i have had a camaro before and loved it, just ive grown up a little and the more subtle looks of the gto are appealing now. Im going to the dealer tonight and will just see how good a deal they make me.

 

be patient and go with the camaro, those gtos make me

 

Like what?

The only year specific mishap I know of is the temp gauges in the 99s not being too accurate.

LS1 F-bods are faster then the new GTOs.
