because all SS's are Z28's. the SS was really nothing more than an option package for the Z28. (for 98+, dont know about the LT1's)

Yup, just an option for the Z28. Just like the early SS models of the Impala's and such back in the 60's. It wasn't until they got really popular until Chevrolet made the SS it's own model.

z28 is a preformance package, ss is another preformance package that includes the z28 package so in all SS, so all SS should also be a z28. If you look in your glove box or inside your drivers door there should be the GM RPO codes.
WU8 - SS Preformance Package/Appearence Package - Camaro
Z28 - Merchandised Package - Special Preformance
