Noobs.
I wonder how long it took him to think of that response.
Ya know, I could hook you up with the local F-body club in OKC they're cool guys. I could also give you the address for the message board we use, but I guarantee no one will like your attitude.

Sorry Greed4Speed for offending your silly little forum netiquette. I am a camaro newbie and I tried but the forum search kept saying the word "SS" didn't exceed the minimum word length which is supposed to be over 3 words.
I suppose I should have tried harder, but I was in a hurry and needed to get to a college class. I have made it clear that the Thread was over the hp differences, hence the title (obvious, isn't it?). If you don't want to add anything constructive, don't reply to it. Let me enlighten you on the word "forum".

Anyhow, there's no need to fight and turn this into a big feud over something as small as this. I apologize for being a jerk to you earlier. I thought you were being rude in your first response to this thread, and took it personally. That was my fault. I also apologize to all the members of the board that were insulted by my comments as well. No hard feelings? I hope not.
Let's all enjoy the forums and discuss camaros.

'96-'99, and very early '00, SS have upgraded suspension parts (basically 1LE sans shocks). 00+ SS have the same suspension as a base Z28, with the exception of a 32mm front sway bar compared to the Z28's 30mm.
Ratings aside, they all dyno the same within a small range.

I have a 99 SS, 00 Ws6, and a 98 Z28. The SS has no more power then a Z28. If anything there may be a difference of 2-5 hp from the higher flow muffler given to the SS. The SS is given a stiffer suspension, hood, spoiler, wheels, and tires. The rest is the same. The WS6 suspension is the same as the stock SS suspension. The SS could have been ordered with a level 2 suspension with Bilstein struts/shocks and stiffer springs. I think the level 2 also has larger sway bars too.

My thanks go to everybody for responding to my thread! I appreciate it.
I decided to go with a 2000 Camaro SS instead of a Z28 mainly because it's an SS, and SSes are just way too cool-looking! Also, SS generally has a higher resale value than a Z28.
I have no plans currently to race it. It's too good and rare a car. I will likely baby it as much as I can.
