SS upgrade included the 275's too. The Z's had 245's. All SS autos were 3.23 rears.

I bought mine new and have always been glad I went with the SS. Well worth it in my opinion.

All fourth gen SS's were SLP conversions, with the exception being Berger's given permission to build a limited number of cars.

WRONG! Stop spewing such horrible incorrect information. Its ALWAYS the guys without the SS option just having the Z28 trying to justify thats all it is.

Do a search and learn something, and stop spreading crap.

Peace,

The Hurst shifter was a huge POS $325 option. And the Z28's had them as an option as well. It has nothing to do with SS.

Here are my 3 window stickers:

THATS IT
Wrong.

EVERY SS came with a better flowing exhaust (some even had the SLP exhaust), upgrade suspension, and gearing diffenences i believe in the Autos. Not to mention the 17x9.5 wheels (chrome or silver) with 275s, the hood, spoiler, badges, etc.

Lucky guys even got the Center Mount Exhaust, which can sell an SS almost as fast as the hood/spoiler.

BTW, my NBM paint looks damn good. Still.

WRONG! Dude, look at my window sticker a few posts up and you can CLEARLY see my 01' SS option did not inclue Hurst. You can see they charged me $325 for the worthless shifter.

Peace,

Calm down, I'm not pissed. People that don't know need to shut up, they just confuse others even more. PLUS you can see my window stickers a few posts up.
