Default 1997 Camaro SS

What were the different SS options for the 97 model year?
What are the RPO codes? Is R7T the SS SLP, and the R7K the regular SS? How about R7M?

thanks

All SS went to SLP for 96-97 and had the following parts added;

Standard SS parts that SLP installed on all SS
hood
SS air filter box and tubing
air filter base block off plate (went in the old location of Z28 style air tubing)
SS badging
SS interior plaque
ZR1 wheels with SS logo center caps
SS spoiler
SS owners supplement manual

Optional SLP equipment
Hurst shifter with leather H ****
2 on the left catback
Castrol lubricant package
Bilstein suspension package
SS car cover
SS floor mats
SS key chain
R1 rear tire package (2 extra rear wheels with R1 slicks)


There's a few other small things here and there that I'm forgotten since it's been a long time but this takes care of 99% of it.

From what I have found and noted . .

The R7T was the RPO code for the SS package in 1997 . . .

The R7A was a SLP option code . .

The WU8 was linked to the SS package . . . .

Not a car option . . . that was done custom by the dealer or the previous owner . .

The only 4th Gen Camaros that I ever recall getting embroidered seats was the 1997 30th and 2002 35th anniversaries . . .

Hey Xsta, I noticed you're from Schaumburg. I sold my black hardtop 95 Firehawk to a guy from there. He still had it last time I talked to him however it's remained a garage queen. Have you seen it around?
