yeah, im calling BS on a 99 28,000 dollar z28. I mean...I'm looking here at my sticker and i have leather and preferred package so all the stereo stuff. then I have the SS package at 4 grand added to the price of a z28. I would really like to see your sticker because id like to see what makes it 28k. mine was 29,7. i looked at it last night so thats a correction from 29,1. id just like to see what makes that z28 28k brand new especially since my SS package is 4k. id like to see what makes up for that difference.

That's cool, I'll post the pic tonight when I get off of work around midnight, check here then...

But I can tell you right now, mine is fully loaded minus the leather....the Chrome wheels option was an extra $600 or so, the ASR, T-tops option is an extra $1200 or so believe it or not. I'll let you just see it for yourself.

My Z28 has leather, t-top, auto, ASR, chrome wheels, monsoon, blah, blah, blah. Every Z28 option except the CD changer.

Still, the SS is more apperance than anything else. I like the more stealthy and plainer look of my Z28 anyways. Nobody sees the black Z28 badges on the dark blue body.

...uhhh not really bud. When you can get bigger swaybars, Bilsteins w/Eibach springs, G-Force KD's, a dual-dual, and a lid as options, then no. It has alot more then apperance option which you have stated. Now if you had mentioned an SS with no SLP options I would almost agree with you, but you didn't. lol


Peace,
Craig.

Black on black Z28 with hurst shifter, leather, t tops w covers, sport apperance package, chrome 18 inch zo6 wheels, borla cat back, 10% tints, no ASR or 12 disc and then everything else in my sig I put on. It still has the air bag tag on it also

Taller gears are in the SS. MY 98 Z28 came with 2:73's I think the SS's have 3:23s and they also have the series 3 carrier that goes along with it. If your going to change the rearend for performance you would be better off.

Z28's (T/A's & Formula's) also could have 3.23's. It was called the performance axle option. Which came with 3.23's and an aluminum driveshaft.

Look down about halfway on the right, it was a $300 option.
