Far from it, all SS went to SLP for the hood and tail with a few other upgrades. They were not however sent to another tier group to get modified further like a GMMG car for example. Two entirely different processes and two completely different tier groups at work here. Come back when you know something.

Not even 1500 miles, and after almost 5 years since Matt Murphy and GMMG did the mods. These ZL1 cars were built to run, not be garage queens. The owners probably selling before the next wave of 2010 GMMG Berger Camaros arrive.

Well BigBake........................I have been reading this thread and chuckling all the while at your definite lack of knowledge.
The modifications to the GMMG cars are very similar to what SLP did to their cars. Keep in mind that these cars weren't sent to SLP first and then on to GMMG for further modifications. For example..............my ZL1 was produced as a B4C Camaro and then shipped by rail from GM to GMMG. It didn't even go to the dealer (Berger Chevrolet) first.
While not trying to be rude to you....................but I have to agree with the others, get your facts straight first.

* There are nine Hendrick Motorsports LT4 Special Edition Camaro SS's.
* The 1997 30th Anniversary LT4 SS's are SLP car #'s 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, 23, 43 and 71.
* The #1 SS LT4 was Rick Hendrick's personal car (do not know where this car is).
* The Hendrick Autogroup owns eight Chevrolet dealerships so each dealership sold one of the HMS Camaros to the public.
* Dealerships were: City Chevrolet, Rick Hendrick Chevrolet (Durham, NC), Hendrick Automall, Performance Chevrolet, Colonial Chevrolet, Superior Chevrolet, Rick Hendrick Chevrolet (Charleston, SC) and Quality Automotive.
* My LT4 SS was origianly sold from Performance Chevrolet.
* MSRP was $47,250 - I believe they all sold for over $50,000.
* All nine were delivered at the same time at a gala affair on June 25, 1997 held at Hendrick MS Headquarters.
* Airfare and accomodations included.
* The delivery was to occur at Charlotte Motor Speedway but it was booked.
* Many of the nine cars are signed by SLP members, Hendrick, and some Nascar Drivers.
* Purchasers had lunch with Rick Hendrick and Terry LaBonte
* Jeff Gordon and Ricky Craven were a day late, and very few cars have their signature.
* Matt Murphy was with SLP when this program was run.
* Changes to the car are mostly appearance
* Embroidered LT4 Mats
* Hendrick LT4 Dash Plaque
* Hendrick Key Fobs
* Hendrick LT4 & SS Car Cover
* Hendrick LT4 Special Edition Sail Panel Badges
* Dual Dual Performance Exhaust
* Level III Sport Suspension
* Came with a short video of them being built at SLP

Funny the guy posting about Anniversary Special Edition LT4’s calling me a tard. Get a clue, that is not the Hendricks Edition SS that I am talking about. Wrong car bozo! By the way what exactly does that post prove? It surely has nothing in it rebutting my statment that all SS went to SLP.

Then you proceeded to tell me the info and pictures I posted are not Hendrick cars which further shows your knowledge about this subject. People like you are the reason there is so much misinformation about these cars in the first place.

Ok and how does that prove anything wrong. I have stated that all SS went to SLP from the factory. There is no way around that, the difference between the Hendrick cars was they came from SLP that way, they did not go to another tier group to be modified further like the Tom Henry or the Ernhardt. That was all I was saying.

P.S. The Hendrick Edition SS I am talking about is the LT1 version that is Sebring Silver with black stripes. Just like everything else you are assuming.

You're thinking of the '97 SS Anniversary Edition which is not the same as a HMS SS.....bozo

They did not go from GM to SLP to GMMG like you are saying

The dealerships they were sold through did not perform the modifications.
Everything was done by GMMG with GM and the dealers approval and input after the car arrived directly from GM.
They did not go from GM to SLP to GMMG like you are saying

What are you talking about? You are really confused. Again I am done talking to you about it. It is beyond your capability of understanding.
Did not say they did, again you are confused.
Tom Henry and Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet did not further modify the cars. GMMG did all the modifications with their input and GM's approval
Did not say they did, again you are confused.
