SLP involvement

I've been sitting here thinking about this for more than 24 hours. Do you think G.M. will let SLP back in the game?

Re: SLP involvement

At a guess, no more or less than any other after market company. I really don't see GM offloading a hi-po version to an aftermarket coach builder, but I could be wrong.

Re: SLP involvement

AFAIK SLP Engineering is no more, so I'd say no.

Not with GM Performance Division now taking care of it. Any and all performance models will be track tested, tuned, and deleverd to a dealer near you with a GMPD badge.

Re: SLP involvement

What did SLP do for the Z28? Slapped on a hood, spoiler, shifter, catback and wheels, big deal. The 4th gen SS was a joke, nothing but a prettier Z28.

Not long after the sunset of the 4th gen. You may remember the scandal when they were selling all the authentic documentation and badging for numbered SS cars on eBay?

Yes but SLP Engineering is not (the company that did the SS and Firehawk).

Thank you.

And thank God, they won't be involved with the 5th gen.

Re: SLP involvement

I hope that at least 275's will be available for the car. As for SLP, I'm glad they are gone too. I really didn't see the need for them and neither did GM apparently. GM was making all the SS models themselves by the 2002 (and earlier if I'm not mistaken).

Hopefully they will step up to the plate and make some interesting performance packages other than a higher flowing intake and exhaust.

Re: SLP involvement

I agree... I want headers in the trunk when I pick mine up (in all seriousness i know that will never happen)
