Maybe all the V6 owners should put Z28 badges on their rides so the Z28 owners will change their minds.

Just about bought a fake black 00 SS m6 before I found the car I own now. Everything was right on the exterior. Besides the drivers door it did not say Y2Y or WU8 anywhere. This was forsale at a high end car dealership. bmw's,vettes, and a couple of vipers. NICE isn't it.

It's like painting stripes on a donkey and calling it a zebra. But you still only have a jackass.

Any *** hole that slaps on ss badges is just that an *******. Yeah SS owners do get pissed of cuz they paid a lot more to have that bragging right. If you did buy a z28 and didnt want to pay a couple of extra thousands for the appearance package, then why in the hell do you try to clone an SS? Also I like that other one by AnimalSS, put z28 badges on v6's to shut them the f up.

LOL !!!!! that *** joke is PERFECT!!

Bad analogy. Z28s and SSs are the same animal. Besides, I wouldn't compare my Camaro (Z28 or SS) to a donkey or a Zebra. A more appropriate animal for your analogy might have been the Tiger (a fast, powerful, and beautiful creature). You could say something like, "Painting a Siberian Tiger white, doesn't turn it into a white Tiger or Albino" (both of which are very rare- sort of like the SS).

I'm pretty sure even if they put z28 badges on a ford focus, my borla'd M6 Z28 vert would still be cooler than your SS

That's the cool thing about opinions...
and mine happens to be that t-tops don't look as good on the f-bods, and the verts look sweet on the f-bods, that's why I spent extra for a vert instead of extra for the ss badge package...just my opinion though

Dude, it's just a joke. I own a Z28 and a SS. I guess i could of "cloned" my Z28 into a SS but i would still own a Z28. I wanted a SS so i bought a REAL one. True a Z28 and a SS are the same animal ( both camaros ), but it's like comparing apples to oranges ( there both fruit but one is still sweeter than the other ). I've owned nine different camaros, I love them all, it's just stupid to turn something into what it is not!!!

no offense to you MJK, just making a joke and your's is the one I see, but build number 3,000+ not exactly rare cars are they? Somewhere I heard that Z28's are actually rarer than SS's in the LS1's, but I'll have to verify it I guess.

In 2002 the SS was the most popular/best selling F-body. Shoot you should have picked on our build number if you wanted to make your point!

Still, I do have a build number, which, IE means real SS...

Heck, for all I care go ahead and put the SS/SSr/GTR/Type R/Type SH/-S/Type S stickers all over your Z28, next to a Commando wing and NOS plaques... If that floats your boat, it is your car...

BTW I gave up pricing that undercar neon stuff... J/king...
