All SSs started out as z28s from the factory and were converted by SLP. All VINs will are z28s you have to look for the SLP stickers on the doors. If you dont see any SLP stickers then it is a z28.

hmm didnt know every SS came with an SLP tag i just thought you only had one if SLP did a certian upgrade such as the wheels or exhaust , I know on my car i have one because of my wheels my buddy never had an SLP tag on his SS but he did have a door tag from GM with a WU8 to prove it was a real SS ....im not saying that SLP didnt do the SS upgrades i was just pretty sure you didnt get an SLP tag unless they added some of there mods

According to what research I have, the 1998 models started the change for a SS ordered car to an "in-house" WU8 code. 1996-97 Z/28 models were built and then sent to SLP to "convert them" to SS models. 1998 and later SS models were built by GM, then shipped to SLP with a "temp hood", and then SLP would add the correct hood, spoiler and any other SLP exclusive content.
