and neither of the numbers you quoted from 2001 are accurate. both were under rated and closer to the vet hp of the time. also you forget about SLP's involvement in the SS for the 4th gen. Z28 was in production. SLP came to GM with the SS idea and GM went with it. making SS top dog. but of course back in the 60's it all depended on what you considered top dog. a car that could handle and keep up with most SS's of the time in a straight line while leaving them in the dust once you go to some curves or just the 1320.

I believe '01 and '02 non-Ram Air-type cars were rated at 310 horse' and the Ram Air-types were rated at 320. Then the SLP CB added like 7 or 8 on top; though, the late appearing Blackwing lid for the SSs weren't advertised in anything I've seen to give more power, but I believe it did.

'monkey is right though. Stock LS1s were putting down an average of close to 300 to the tire. My brother's '02 with 2.73s, CB, and a lid put down 327 and mine, equipped with 3.23s, MAC mids', and crummy tune put down 334. Both were autos'. Later, with LTs, converters, and good tunes, we were putting down from the mid-350s to the mid-360s. Those LS1 cars were no joke in the power department. Now... the 7.5" rear end was another story...

Hahahaha. Confirmed. Brought it to another dealership and got the same thing on my paperwork!

What makes a Z28 better than the SS? Sorry- newbie here and I've been out of the domestic muscle crowd for a while obviously.

What happened was that GM did away with the SS package all together in 1973. Up until then the z28 was top dog. The SS cars that were above the Z28 were cars built through a partnership with SLP in 1996. Most of the time they were really no different power or handling wise if you bought the base SS package, a whopping 15hp is not a big difference to me. You could add exhaust and suspension packages but it cost much more.

AintQik · 09-07-2011, 01:14 PM

Z28 was not the base car with SS being an upgrade in the 1st Gens. That happened with the 4ths. Z28 was top dog in the early cars and highly sought after now much more so than an SS.

Supercamaro64 · 09-07-2011, 02:37 PM

Haha i was talking to a guy the other day who was trying to convince me that there is a 2008 Camaro Z28. When i said, there wasnt even a camaro in 2008 and there still isnt a z28 now, he got super mad and wouldnt listen to me lol. Stupid people are gonna be stupid
