In this picture it looks like the same yellow car in the background but with a side stripe and hardtop. I thought there was only one yellow car? that is the blue car I am intrested in also






before I die I want to own the yellow,blue and white berger cars. I fell in love with the white one this weekend at the F body gathering and always loved the others.

The yellow one in the other picture is a ZL1 not a Berger SS. Also, not sure what the Blue car is. It has a different emblem on the side than a Berger would have. It also has different wheels than would have been found on an '00-'02 Berger.

No idea on the yellow one. The blue one was a special 35th PE car I believe Matt did for a customer's son that was unveiled at G9. They have several GMMG cars including one of the Dick Harrell car's in a dark blue I believe. Search in this forum under GMMG and Dick Harrell and I'm sure you'll find him.

The yellow Berger is Matts, and as far as I know he still owns it. Dick, at Berger Chevy, said Matt still has his Berger cars.

Yes the top Daytona Yellow SS is Matt Berger's personal 2002, it is car No. "00" IIRC since it is not one of the regular production cars. It should still be in Michigan.

The Lemans Blue is a buddy of mines, Mike Noonan. It is actually a 2002 Performance Edition, and is located in New Jersey.

The yellow car in the 3rd picture down is a 2002 ZL1, and one is Larry Christiansens (he is standing next to it) and is located in Colorado (IIRC).

what exactly is the Performance edition? I know of the GMMG Berger cars and the Dick Harell cars. Also what is different between the ZL1 and the berger 427 cars?

thanks for your help guys.

aren't these cars(berger 427) almost the same as a ZL1? or did GM acutally make the ZL1 like the old days?
there was also a red vert Berger car next to it.

One can get a C5 427 conversion done to any GMMG upfitted car. . . . That white Berger started life out as a 375 HP 75th Anniversary Berger SS, the current owner had it upgraded.

The 427 C5R package started its life as a Phase III package the ZL1 cars, but if you have the dough GMMG will put it into any GMMG upfit car.

To learn about the GMMG cars visit www.gmmginc.net

The Performance Edition was a run of 50 cars (IIRC) offered first on the 35th Anniversary SS's, which was then opened to ALL 2002 Camaro SS's

I didn't know the 35th aniversary SS's upgrades were opened up to all SS's. Intresting.

I didn't know the white one was upgraded. I thought it started that way.
thanks for your info. I look at GMMG.net all the time and its intresting.

Yep, they only made one white and green Black Bird for Bobby LaBonte.

Just like how the only made one Chrome Illusion Berger SS for Johnny Benson, Jr.
