i am looking at buying this camaro from the dealer and i was just wondering if you could tell if it was an ss or not without the rpo codes. they are selling it as an SS with 47k on it so just making sure i am not getting screwed on it. here is a link to the pics.

Get the VIN and call SLP

732-349-2109

WSsick

This is the best choice.

2nd best is to look at the RPO sticker. If it says WU8, it's an SS. Otherwise, it's not.

Exactly.

When you call SLP, have your VIN written down. They will also be able to verify it and give you a car #. Looking for the WU8 code is your easiest bet though, since you can visually see it and you dont have to make a call.

thats a clean car but if it doesnt have the WU8 code its not an SS i look for the WS6 or WU8 codes on every fbody i considered buying,because its easy to clone these cars

screams clone to me. Check out the spoiler. Unless it was replaced it's not original. It's an aftermarket one. The stock ones should have a seam along the backside lip as they are not molded one peice spoilers. That one appears to be once peice.

Factory: (notice the seam at the top)

P.S. although at some angles the spoiler on it does appear to maybe have that seam

It looks legit to me. The SS dash plaque above the radio is an option on SS cars. The wheels look legit, as does the logos, hood, and spoiler. This car should have the "SLP added content" stickers inside the passenger door jamb and the stickers should at minimum state that it has the optioned chrome wheels. If those stickers aren't there then its a clone or been repainted. Fail safe is running the VIN through SLP or at compnine website.

I wonder why the wheels have corvette center caps?

'OP just curious, are you looking to buy a genuine SS? Because that car looks clean and personally I'd be more interested in its good condition...

you can also look on the inside of the drives door if rim size is 17 with 275 tires its an ss

im pretty sure the z28s and v6 only came with 16 rims and 245 tires

correct me if i am wrong

and they could have swaped to a ss door that had the sticker but i highly dout it haha

Yea SS LS1 had 275 rears & Z28 had 245. God I hated my 245! haha but whats the deal? You contact SLP? I'm sure its real.....

THIS

Why do these threads always get needlessly complicated? An LS1-era Camaro SS will be a WU8 car. RPO code WU8 = car is an SS. No WU8 = not an SS. It is really that simple.
Now, if the RPO sticker is missing: run away.

If the RPO sticker looks reapplied or otherwise played with: run away.

Really simple.

want a tissue? Go back to mamby-pamby land!

Call me crazy, but I think he's going to inspect the car in person before buying, and can request a picture of the RPO sticker.

Next question, how long has it been driven around without an air filter?
