so i bought a 2000 SS camaro m6 and a few people told me it might be a fake how do i tell if it is?

 

Send your VIN to David Hamburger on here.

 

look for WU8 in your RPO codes

 

Yup, check the driver door jam for WU8. And check your rims for an obvious GM stamp - at least you will know if they are OEM or aftermarket.

 

You could call SLP and give them the last 8 digits of your VIN as well.

 

some people just think its a fake if it doesnt have the center mount exhaust or every single SLP option ordered.

 

 

haha thats what they said its not a true ss because its didnt have all the slp options.

 

yeah they're full of it. My buddies SLP SS didn't come w/ an SLP Lid, but it's still official issue.

 

Sounds to me like SS envy, they just be jealous

 

I just checked your sig...its a real SS.

 

The way I could instantly tell mine was a real SS was because it looked like a monster truck when I went to go look at it. lol

 

My ss has a hardtop, cloth seats and no slp options - still a real ss though. Just call SLP to confirm or look for Wu8...

 

www.slponline.com

Call the number there and press whatever number it is to go to customer service. They need the last 8 of the VIN and they will tell you if its real and what the build # is. Just did this myself last week.

 

yup what he said...screw calling SLP when u can verify by looking for this


& what part of PA you from JWLOD ?

 

If the parts in your signature were installed by SLP you should have red and white SLP stickers on the door jams with these parts listed as additional SLP content.
And the RPO codes for an SS are WU8 and Y2Y

 

the y2y was only if you had extra stuff installed by slp and have the sticker on the passenger side door jamb as well. so its possible it doesnt have the y2y. just look for the wu8.

 

Gotta ask - and this isn't a shot at the SS Guys...

...but why does it matter? Really? If you love your car, does it really matter if it was an SS when it was born or was made one along the way? These aren't collector's cars yet. It isn't 2040 and we have some rare piece of automotive history. The SS was essentially a hood, a spoiler and wheels.

...if the SS had a different motor or performance options (that most people change anyways) then it might be a worry. IMHO.

 

Thats incorrect. I have the Y2Y code and it has no additional SLP content. I called SLP. They told me things I didn't even expect to hear, like when it got there, what they did to it, when it left.
They did nothing except put the minimum SS parts on it and sent it out.

I also have a 2002 Z28, the RPO code list on the two cars is damn near identical except for the WU8 and Y2Y
My SS has no red and white stickers and I got the car a long time ago with very low miles.

 

Yea, why does it matter if he asks.
If a guy wants to ask about his car, let him know what you know.
Doesn't matter to me if he wants to know.
