Why is this SS called a Z28?
Was just cruising through some youtube videos when I came across this old one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-A4lnkl528
In this video they call it a "Camaro Z28 SS" But it clearly has the SS hood, spoiler, and badges...no where on the car is it called a Z28, so why do these guys call it that?
Also, LMFAO at the 13.8 1/4 mile time...who pays these guys to drive these cars so terribly?

It's still a shitty Pontiac at the end of the day though
The SS is basically just a higher trim level of the Z28, so technically they aren't really wrong to call it a Z28 SS. Also, that 13.8 is slow, but I'm not surprised they ran that time, seems like they never put a lot of effort into launching the car properly. They just nail it and whatever happens, happens.

Just like the 4th gen V8 firebird is a Trans AM, then you get a "Trans AM WS6", not a "Firebird WS6".

But the 2001 and up LS1's got the LQ4 cam, which was supposed to be better for low and mid range torque, thus why the newer LS1's felt stronger, right?

Take the VIN off of any LS1 SS and it'll read as a Z28. The SS is a Z28 that was sent to SLP and made to look better and perform a little better depending on what options were ordered from SLP.
