Trying to learn a little more about the berger camaro's. What was the base berger HP rating and how did they achieve this? Stage II what did that consist of? I have personally saw a Stage III the 427. Anyone know how many colors or anthing they made? Who can I talk to? Thanks Brandon.

I know the base was 380 hp, Stage II was 435, and the stage III was the 600 hp C5R block 427.

Exclamation

104 total production of Berger SS.

2000 = 31
2001 = 28
2002 = 45

In 2000 the "production" Berger was rated at 375 hp, and that was the only power option in 2000.

In 2001 the "production" Berger upped to 380 hp, and I beleive there were only two Phase 2 cars built that year.

In 2002 the base hp remained the same and if my info is correct there were nine 435 hp Phase 2 Bergers built.

Phase 3 was not avaiable at time of ordering to put in a Berger SS.

Phase 1 (375 - 380 hp) was done with simple upgrades.

Phase 2 is simply put a heads cam package with a long tube exhaust.

Phase 3 is a all new 427 ci engine.

In 2000 there were two custom painted Bergers, Daytona Yellow and Millenium Yellow.

For 2001 I only recall one custom painted Hugger Oranger car.

In 2002 there were seven? custom paints, Electron Blue, Lemans Blue, Daytona Yellow, Rally Green, Hugger Orange, Chrome Illusion, not sure of the others . . .

Only two total Bergers were ever custom painted modern colors. 2000 - Millenium Yellow ragtop and a 2002 - Electron Blue t-top.

All Bergers are t-top or convertible although there are 2 hard tops in 2002.

All Bergers are 6 speeds and leather.

GMMG allows cars they built to be brought back and up graded, but all the numbers I quote are cars builts at time of order and not indicate any upgrades.

My info my not be 100% accurate, but that is a breif synopsys.
