the only difference in the LS1 SS and Z28 is the SS has a better flowing exhaust, better breathing intake setup, better suspension, and it was optional for the 3.23(43?) rear end, the SS hood and spoiler, and i think you could also order different Rims too from SLP
like 2000ss1979 said no its not supercharged, there's not much difference in the z28 from the SS performance wise, mostly appearance.

Here is SLP web site.

SLP ONLINE

I think you should just buy a Z or an SS and mod it yourself. By time you spend the money on a new engine which can cost thousands of and a tranny another couple thousand and a nice rear end. You have easily bought yourself a very nice Z or SS.

Why don't you just mod the engine you have? A LS1 can handle well over 500 hp if done right. You can have a very streetable 11 second car

So what a if a 1200 Supra is faster, there is always somthing faster. I try and not worry about other have or how fast thier car is. And yes a 500 hp Camaro should be faster than 11's, in fact it should be in the 10's. Yea that Saturn runs 11's but it's a gutted tin can that is no longer a street car. My car runs faster than that and I still have a car that I can drive anyplace, with the A/C on. The point is do not compare a street car to an all out race car.
