Default Lets see who knows the answer please!!

I recently purchased a 2001 SS Camaro convertible 6speed. My question is why my dash plate does not say camaro ss. The code for SS is on the inside of the door and I called SLP and they told me its a real SS that they have a card for it in their system. I looked on ebay at 2001 SS's and they all had the SS plate as well. What is the stinking deal here! ha

p.s. side question---how many horses am i starting with in this car with a 3 inch flowmaster system from the Y back and it has an FIPK air induction system. Whats next boys?

You probably have between 295-325 rwhp. And i think the ss plaque was an option wasnt it?

It was an option. My SS had the basic Camaro one as well. There are a few vendors here that offer them, and you can customize them as well.

Oh i made sure it was a real SS before i bought it the other day. No clone for me. I found out there were only 80 red SS convertibles with 6 speed made in 2001. Sounds like something that will be worth a load in 30 years!

No, you weren't sure of your answer. I was sure and answered less than a minute later. So, no prize for you

My question was rhetoric though. Don't I usually state everything in the form of a question. I think I pretty much do. Lol

All of the '02s say 35th Anniversary (unless they were optioned with the SLP dash plaque), not just the SS.

Every other year just says CAMARO, unless it received the dash plaque option. The Camaro SS plaque was never standard on any year SS from '98-'02.
