Umm okk what a tard, from what I remember most of the actual 35th anniversary camaros with the factory stripes were automatics with t-tops. Look on the drivers door sticker that has all the 3 character codes and look for WU8 which stands for camaro ss option. heres my RPO options list with explainations of each. You can ever email slp and get your build number if you give them your vin number and other info is located on this site http://slpowners.com/car/6636.html

One: They definitely made the SS in an Auto.
Two: Look for this RPO Code on the door tag.
"WU8 = SALES PACKAGE CAMARO SS APPEARANCE AND PERFORMANCE CAMARO SS APPEARANCE & PERFORMANCE PKG(WU8)"
Or PM your VIN and I can search the RPO list for it.
*jaxcam02 beat me to it while I was typing, lol

You can look for the WU8 RPO on the SPID sticker on the driver's door jamb, as mentioned above. You can also contact a GM dealer and have them run a VIS report that will show all the options for your VIN (including the WU8, if it was assigned to your VIN). Additionally, you can contact SLP with your VIN for further verification.
For the record, you could 100% MOST CERTAINLY get an auto with an SS. The option codes for an original A4 SS car would be WU8, MX0, M30. Cloth interior and a hard top were also available with SS; neither of these options were standard on SS, unlike Trans Am.
And lastly, tell your co-worker to stop insisting on things that he clearly knows nothing about. If he wants to challenge this FACT which he has disputed, tell him to find this thread and provide whatever "proof" he thinks he can find. I welcome the challenge.

I don't know why this is such a big deal to some people, like it's somehow a serious problem that your car might be a fake (even if it isn't). Only time it really matters is when it comes to resale value....so unless they are buying your car, why do they care? It's not like it's 1969, where the SS package is actually a performance package that includes significant engine and drivetrain upgrades. In base configuration (meaning no additional Y2Y SLP options) it's a hood/wheels/spoiler/front sway bar/revised muffler & tailpipes/badges/standard PS cooler. It's no faster than a similarly optioned Z28. As a matter of fact, the fastest stock LS1 on record was a '99 Z28.

^^^ maybe guy thought the Z06 part was fake... I see ppl do swaps to make em look like a Z06... But as far as the cop situation goes... I would have told him YES... I stole this bike and tried to disguise it with 4wheels and a body...
