Probably a Common Q
Just as I titled this thread, I need a question answered as accurate as possible because google is not being a good friend to me.
So my buddy is looking to see if either he buys a 1998 Camaro Z28 or SS. The price is different but also is the performance. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT CAME IN PACKAGE?? I know both are LS1 but why is it that the SS is faster?? I just drove a Z and it felt just as slow as my car! But the same year SS feels like night vs day....
Some sites say that the difference is that the SS came with different hood, gear ratios, air lid, wheels.... Please just let me know why the SS is faster than the Z.
Thanks to all the 4th gen guys and don't kill me if this has already been asked!

The SS has got either a 3.23(auto) or a 3.42(manual) rear axle ratio. The Z28 got either a 2.73(auto) or a 3.23(manual) axle ratio. This I believe is the main reason as to why the SS is faster. Also the PCM in the SS different compared to the Z28, according to Massey.
