Hi all,

I just bought a 1998 camaro from a family member--WHAT A CAR! It's a beautiful red Z-28 (5.7L, 6 speed), but I don't know how to tell if it's an SS, and frankly, my sister didn't either (the seller). Can someone tell me how to do this? I'd love to drop a pic in here, but don't know how!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
H. Scott

 

It would have SS badges and Cowl induction hood. Its pretty obvious. If it says Z28 on the sides and back. Its not a SS.

 

SS would have a scoop on the hood and a raised spoiler in the back. those are the EASIEST visual clues.

 

It would have a ram air hood and yes, it would say SS on it there are other ways to tell send a pic

 

Okee dokee...thanks. Just for giggles (sorry, I'm a computer guy, NOT a car guy): What's a "cowl induction hood?"

 

cowl induction is a raised center portion of the hood which an SS DOES NOT have it has a ram air hood which you'll see a scoop that allows air to flow in through the center of the hood

Wow, thanks a lot folks; you're great.

My car is NOT an SS then. It does have a raised rear spoiler, as well as the ground effects schtuff (making it look closer to the ground). I presume this is what I saw elsewhere called the "Sports Appearance Package." No holes in the hood whatsoever though.

Sure drives like a dream! What WAS I thinking driving Honda's all these years???

Thanks again,
H. Scott

 

Ummm, 'Where's the acceleration?'


Don't let the modding bug get you to bad
