On the 2002 Camaro SS and Z28 is the anyway of telling between the two. What I mean is besides the obvious ( hood, wing, and badges ) is there anyway to tell a true SS. Is there an emblem under the hood or a special badge somewhere? How can I tell. I just bought one and I just want to make sure it is a SS and not a Z someone dressed up to look like a SS. Thanks in advance...

 

you have no title?

 

Call up SLP and give them your VIN #. They will verify that it's an SS and tell you exactly what SLP options the car has.

 

Hey 97bowtie, I've been lurking this site for some time now and I just noticed you live in Prescott AZ. I live in Prescott Valley. Just wanted to say hey. By the way, I own a 2002 SS. Maybe I'll see ya on the road.

 

Check the inside of your driver's side door at the options sticker. There should be the following pro code: "WU8".

 

What if that is not there? Does that mean it is not a ss??

 

Some of the SS cars came numbered...if they are the same as firehawk numberings it would be on the ashtray. Only the ones from SLP were numbered though, it's possible you can have just a regular GM SS.

 

correct

 

Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it.

 

Since when did an SS not come from SLP? Every SS was supposed to go through SLP. They would take base Z28's and then swap out the wheels and tires and the hood and whatnot.. Hence why they have so many takeoff for sale.

At least thats what I remember reading.. Maybe it changed?

 

All the LT1 SS went through SLP but through the LS1 years some were from GM, I think it was the ones that didn't get any options, just wanted the appearence package. This is what I've read anyways.

 

i thought starting in 99 GM did all the non SLP equipped SS conversions?

 

My 02 has no SLP equipment, but did come through SLP, I thought SLP still did the hood, spoiler and suspension swaps on these, they sell off the roll bars, wheels etc. as takeoffs, and return the hoods to GM (who built them as standard Z28s, but with the re-used hoods).

 

Yeah and all (4th gen) SSs have a build number on hand with SLP.

 

Firehawks were the only ls1 SLP ONLY cars.

WS6 and SS cars were handed by GM or outside companies to retrofit them with SS equipment. SLP optioned cars went to SLP.
