Default Couple of Questions

I just picked up a Camaro a couple of weeks ago and I have a couple of questions. Its badged a Z28 but I've been told that only SS's came with matching side mirrors and matching paint in between the hatch and roof. So I'm trying to figure out if one of the previous owners had it painted or if it was an option or if it is a re- badged SS.

Also the car has 4:10 gears longtube headers, catback, and intake. What kind of power and 1/4 times would this car have in it?

what kind of shocks does it have?
does it still have the ram air filter kit?
does it have SS emblems inside?
does it have SLP exhaust?
what does the back of your SS wheels say, what size are they? whats the wheel offset?
