Got an 00 slp z28
Purchased and 00 slp z28 today, pretty happy with it. The only thing i really noticed wrong is that sometimes when i start going in first gear the rear end will make a little bit of noise. Im assuming this isnt normal and i may need to get it serviced. Any idea what it could be?

Anyone can buy stickers and parts from SLP. There is no such thing as a SLP Z28. If you are so convinced you have one, then call SLP with your VIN and they will tell you the same - and then tell us what they said so we can "told you so"
I feel bad for some of you guys who might have actually paid more because someone selling the car to you filled your head with crap.
SLP catback and hurst shifter? Hurst shifter was a GM option, not SLP. If the car has vacuum cleaner tips, it's a GM catback as well. If it does have a SLP exhaust, then someone else put it on there.

Nah, he didn't get ripped.Bought it for a good price with the miles it has on it, so no big deal that SLP didn't do these. Any chance it could have been a dealorship package from where the original owner bought it?

All emissions legal SLP parts are a dealer option. It costs more because of the added parts and labor. But they are not numbered or serialized. Just added options anyone can buy at the dealer or any other speed shop. The only difference is the dealer will warranty anything SLP they install. But you will not find these options in the Camaro catalog.

i know its not an official slp car, i just had the dealer option...thats all i really meant by that. I paid 12k for it also, it blue booked from 12-15k depending on who blue books it. I did look at the service record and the rear diff fluid has been changed. it passed the shops inspection so i guess im in the clear...but im tucking away some cash just incase!

shouup - i used to have those wheels on my car in 16"x8" (not sure what those are), they are called Eagle Alloy 077's if you were wondering, i have some torque thrust II's now
and as for that noise you are hearing, the first thing i would check is the tranny mount, easy to take off and check. 4 15mm bolts to get the crossmember loose, then 1 18mm deep socket to remove the big nut on the mount itself. then 2 more 14 or 15mm bolts to remove the mount from the trans. takes 3 minutes to get it off. make sure you TAKE IT OFF to check it. it can look totally fine while its still installed. make SURE to support the trans w/ a jack or you will be eating it
poly units can be found at autozone for cheap (energy suspension), but most report some increased noise and rattle with them. the OEM trans mount works great for reducing vibrations etc. , but they are +70$
^^^ i just posted that in another thread yesterday ^^^

SLP has an Ultra Z package that comes with a different hood and wing, but you buy it from SLP performance - which is all SLP is anymore. SLP Engineering is gone AFAIK. With the death of the f-body and bomb of the Ranger Thunderbolt, they just make OEM SS/Firehawk parts and all the SLP Performance aftermarket stuff. You can't get SLP stuff through the dealership of GMPP, only through SLP themselves.
Dealerships often make up "packages" to give the buyer something they can buy to make their new car purchase "unique" while still retaining a factory warranty. These sorts of things happen with every make and model, and only a few ever get recognition and are made in decent numbers (the Carl Black Pontiac Blackbird for example).
