Default ssvs z28
Alright, The search for a black on black ss has proven to be a hard one, I have foulnd a bunch of black z28s but I really want a ss, Some guys at work said That the ss and the z28 are basicly the same car, And I think they are full of ****, Just wanted to get ya'll opinions on the two models of camaros.

Performance is exactly the same in both car's. You pay more for the SS because of the hood, spoiler, and the SS badges. The SS also came with more option's from the dealer for the suspension, different rim style, and tire sizeing. PERFORMANCE WISE, BOTH CAR'S ARE COMPLETLY EQUAL.

There IS something damn sexy about the hood and spoiler on an SS though. I am still thinking about getting an SS hood for my ride.
