Default How to tell SLP Ss

Im looking at buying a 2001 camaro ss,they guy says it might be a SLP optioned car,since it does have CME stock. Is there any other way i can tell? Vin? etc?

What wheels are on it? Does it have the blackwing lid? Should say on the door sticker, ( can't remember which door) what the slp options are... Every ss camaro is an slp car btw.

Call SLP and give them the VIN #
simple...

SLP optioned cars have the sticker on the passenger side.
With an CME yes it most likley had that and other SLP options...

The Driver door should have the build date and have the SLP legal mumbo jumbo of modifications of the car. Passenger side will have all the SLP options.

welp just buy it then... 10 for a supercharged car isnt bad at all...... make sure that it shifts fine and the clutch has been replaced at most 40,000 miles ago they only usually last for 50,000 miles with a good driver and lil track time

Look on the drivers side door jamb; "WU8" should be in the list of RPO codes. WU8= true SS/Firehawk/Trans Am. Additionally, the Y2Y RPO code signifies that the car went through SLP in New Jersey. On the passengers side door jamb, SLP should have placed a sticker with all added content laid out:
i.e. 345HP Center Mount Exhaust
Auburn Differential
Car Cover
etc.

The last step would be to call SLP and they can verify over the phone.

I'd probably be weary and a bit apprehensive about buying a car with big mods on it = less reliability in the long run.
