Z28 Vs SS (HP Specs) What is the differnce between the Z28 and the SS. The Z28s have 310HP and the SS has 325. So what makes the Z28s have less horsepower? Are the cams diffrent? What is the difference?

The SS is just better all around. It has a better engine, better drivetrain, better wheels, tires, etc. The SS will beat anything out there on the road, hands down.
And if you believe that, I've got some land I'll sell you for a good price
Oh, and if you really want to know, it is just a better exhaust that makes the difference (well, depending on the year of the SS and options). Put a lid and catback on a Z, and it'll put down equal or better numbers. If you want it to handle like an SS, just slap a 32mm front sway bar on and call it a day. Or if you think your SS doesn't handle for ****, you can do like I did and replace damn near everything and actually have a car that DOES handle well.

They had to do something to make people who paid an extra 3-5 grand for a SS feel like they were getting more than just a hood, wing, and wheels.

It had almost 100k on it.
I bought it for cheap, so I sold it for what I paid for it.
I always wanted a SS.
I don't know why I wanted a SS, but that was the first late model car I remember seeing when I was in high school that I thought was so cool. I just wanted it "just because"
People thought I got my SS because it was faster, but that wasn't true at all. I liked the way it looked and I always wanted one - and I only paid $14800 for it with 12k miles
