This has been covered a bunch of times all SS's went to SLP they only got the SLP door sticker if opt equip was added. But I am sure someone could chime in on what RPO code needs to be on the driver door sticker to make it real...

Look on the drivers door ,on there is a sticker that tells you all the RPO codes and they will translate into what options came with your SS, the RPO code that makes it a SS is WU8 look for that on the door sticker and Y2Y, that mean it could of gone to SLP for more options.

WU8 = Camaro SS

Y2Y = Additional Content from SLP

But as stated ALL that means every single solitry 1996 to 2002 Camaro SS went to SLP. SLP installed the Hood and Spoiler, on ALL SS's . . . .

If the guy you bought it from advertised it as an SS, I would be really pissed if I were you.

bought the car form a dealer and i was pretty sure it wasnt a real ss. it had a different cowl hood and the rk sport wing (not a big fan of it) and i figured its most likely a z28 with ss badges. i just want to check to make sure when i bought the car i was pretty sure it was not a real ss

Kelly Blue Book shows a difference. It even has it as the first option to choose from.

It shows the option, but the value doesn't change. Do a search with all the same options and then do the SS with the same options. No change.

So did you find out if you had a real SS or not. Either way good luck with the buy. I am taking my brother to go pick up a 2000 Z28 today.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, they wouldnt put the option in there if it didnt matter. And yes it changes the value I just put in two of the same cars one an SS and one a Z and guess what two different prices..
