In 2002, you could get the 345hp option which gave you the exhaust plus a version of SLP's air lid.

The hood is the biggest thing I wanted. It is too much of a pain in the *** to get a hood, paint it, and have it installed yourself. Everything else that was factory installed I've pretty much changed since then.
Plus, my car is more rare than a plain Z28. I like that.

Assuming there are no SLP extra options on the SS, the only thing it gets over the Z28 (other than cosmetics/wheels) is:
32mm front sway bar
PS cooler (this can be had on a Z28 as well, under RPO V12)
3.23 gears (this can be had on a Z28 as well, under RPO GU5)
SS/WS6 specific low restriction muffler (worth maybe 2hp)
Rear jounce spacers for 17" wheels.
