Default How rare is my car?

Hey guys I bought the car a couple months ago my question is how rare is it. I'm going back and fourth with modding it or not so here's there car
2002 Camaro Ss
Sunset orange metallic
It's an original slp 1le suspension car
Currently 39,xxx miles
The car is perfect inside and out
Dual/dual exhaust

So with the color and 1le suspension how rare is the car... Should I mod it or keep it as it is right now it's stock besides American racing 1 7/8th heads and y pipe subframe connects and strut brace it put down 345/350 but I'm either going to sell it and do a huron speed turbo build or keep it head/cam or keep it stock help me out guys!!

Unless u are collecting it for a reason, I'd go ahead and head cam it. Its already modified. It may be somewhat rare, but iI've always thought, the car is a car. Enjoy it. Its only worth what its worth to u, or the person buying it. Sounds like a sweet ride tho let's see pics.

Honestly I don't think there's any LS1 SS that's rare...

40k miles is too high to be a "collector" car at just 11 years old.

Feel free to do whatever modifications you want. It's worth no more or less than any other 40-60k mile SS at this point.

Agree with much of the advice here. Mod away, but please remember that you don't get any of that mod money back when it is time to sell the car. Whether you lay out $3,000 or $10,000 over time, kiss it goodbye.
As long as you know this upfront, have fun and enjoy that nice ride you picked up.

I agree with the others to just mod it. It's rare in the sense that it's got some desirable SLP Y2Y options, but with the miles it's not anything a true collector would likely want. Enjoy the car and make it your own

I've got a SOM WS6 with 18k miles...original owner....garage kept...never seen snow and only rain a couple times i got caught. one if the cleanest cars you will see, and I did H/C/I/E full suspension without a second thought. I did keep all the original equipment though.....my basement full of totes with car parts.

Agreed. 40k is low mile for a "driver" or "weekend toy". Those guys that want to keep them stock for a "show queen", ie the guys like RPM who put the car up on a lift to detail the floor pans with a q-tip is a totally different market. Those guys want something with less than 5k miles on it.

Feel free to mod away!!
