Roll up windows, power options?

Who knows could be a stripper SS.

I hope you know that the rareness gets dumped down the drain the second you mod the car!

well there were 787 SS's produced in '97 with an A4 so you are one of them. As far as how many were made with what options I haven't been able to find any numbers on it so far.

You might try calling SLP and have your VIN # handy. They did the Upgrades. GM called it RPO R7T but they have no idea what SLP did to any specific car.

There were 47 Black Hardtop Camaro SS's in A4 for 1997..... I don't know the breakdown of cloth or leather! I know 40 of those had the SLP exhaust, so just 7 came with the standard Z28 exhaust! Don't quote me on all this.... I would just contact SLP and give them your vin # and see if they will send you the breakdown sheets!

Post 1997 SS's

Ok sorry about the late response but I had my friend Karl
(krzykrl96) write the post below for me as I was at his house when I saw this post and had to respond because I have 1997 Black SLP Camaro SS Hardtop in an automatic.

Sebring 00, After I bought my camaro I called SLP and they mailed me a breakdown of the cars! I have the breakdown for the 1996 SS's and the 1997 SS's. The sheet I recieved from SLP does not include the 30th anniversary vehicles!

ckyconan, If you have the SLP exhaust yours is 1 of 40 thats a 1997 Black Hardtop SLP Camaro SS with the A4. The sheets SLP mailed me back in 1997 didnt have the breakdown of cloth or leather. I have the same as yours but no SLP exhaust and leather so mine was one of the 7 that didnt come with the SLP exhaust.
