Is this a valid source for RPO#'s against VIN#'s?
Or just listing all options that could have been?

Yes, compnine is valid. I've checked their data against VIS reports printed at the GM dealer, and the info matches.

It's another good resource to use in this situation.

I bought one for mine at the dealer earlier this year & theyre $50 retail.

I ran your vin and it does has wu8. if you want your ss number contact David Hamburger he is a member and can tell you for sure it's a SS and the built number.

The only cars that got a SLP sticker was a car that got SLP extra content. SLP Lid, Dual/Dual Exhaust, CME, Floor Mats, ZR1's, etc.

i means its got dual/duals but those stickers are so easy to fake. these cars are getting old time to start double checking everything before you buy like your buying an old musclecar. its starting to get uncommon finding original paint and owners.

does anyone know what the R9Z code is? i noticed his car has it along with ~ 4900 other cars and my car has it and they only had 221 95 firebirds with it. that RPO along with the VH3 hawaii code which only had 76 firebirds in 95 is what makes my car pretty rare but i've always wondered what R9Z is.

Mine didn't get any SLP sticker.
SLP said they changed the tires though, what was the standard tire on the SS cars? 275/40/17 I know but what brand and model?

The funny thing is that R9Z comes up on my breakdown, but it does not have any description. weird...

SSmoken is right, the base tire for all LS1 SSs was a Goodyear Eagle F1 GS.

There was an SLP tire upgrade offered. I beleive it was BFG KD. The KDWS is just a basic all-season tire.

I have never come across this compnine site. where do they get their information? the rarity is pretty cool. idk much about that kind of thing actually, but it says there is only one car with my configuration....

that doesn't make sense though because my car was purchased through cutter pontiac GMC in hawaii. I have the dealership cards and the "aloha congratulations on your new car" paper that the dealer gave them when they picked it up. I seem to recall the original owner even saying when he bought the car he wanted them to upgrade the tape deck to a CD player but there was a shortage at that time and they couldn't get one. now i'm confused. Maybe my car WAS ordered. hmm. I do know the original owner was military though.
