Default what is the biggest diff in an 02 SS and regular Z28??

Not too familiar with the 4th gen cars.....Thanks for any insight. I like the look off the SS with the hood scoop. Are engines that different??

The SS got the hood with the scoop, ram air induction, a bigger spoiler, a few got a cat back, wider rims, wider tires and some suspension upgrades. The suspension upgrades included stiffer springs, stiffer bushings and a bigger sway bar depending on what options were selected. This is coming from a Z28 owner, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

SS also has a power steering cooler, plus there are additional SLP options above and beyond the SS package on SS's...

for alteration to SLP for that work. Following alteration, Camaro SS's are returned to GM's Ste.
Therese assembly plant and subsequently shipped by GM carriers to Chevrolet dealerships.

WHAT ABOUT FINANCING AND WARRANTY COVERAGE?
Retail financing and leasing are available through GMAC. SLP's 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty covers content provided by SLP. The balance of the vehicle, which is not affected by specific SLP content, is covered by General Motors's limited warranty. See GM limited warranty for details.

Remember, in order for SLP options to be added to your Camaro SS, the dealer must submit a Sales Agreement for the options prior to your vehicle being assigned a vehicle identification number (VIN) by General Motors, no exceptions. SLP's website address is www.slpeng.com.]"
