Ah well then yeah I believe you have a very good point there. then thats why you go with a VFN fiberglass stock Z28 hood that weighs like 13lbs and shave 30lbs off the front and call it stock. hahaha.

Someone else said they ordered their SS with the SLP Castrol Syntec option. I never heard of that option, 'cause it wasn't available, to my recollection, when i ordered my '02.

So, I'll probably have to eat crow.
A local member, My84Z has an SS that came with the Castrol Synthetic option. I always thought it was a Moblie 1 option too. I was wrong.

Here's the correct information. Castrol Syntec oil was an SLP option from
'98 - '00. SLP never offered a Mobil 1 option. It has been stated, but not confirmed, that GM began using Mobil 1 at the Ste Therese factory to save money on warranty claims. Some people have claimed their SS came from the factory/dealer with a Mobil 1 oil cap. Mine did not.

The suspension upgrade also dropped the ss 1 1/2".

My SS came with the slp twin turbo package, I think, I forget it been so long.

Default ss 2001-2002 shifter

Did all 2001-2002 ss come with a Hurst shifter, or was it an option? Did any 2001-2002 z-28's come with a hurst shifter?

Hurst was an option for all Z28 & SS. Most were ordered with it, though.
