Vehicle Description
The year is 2002, George Bush creates the Department of Homeland
Security on June 7th to fight threats of terrorism, The Winter
Olympic Games are held in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States,
while this 35th Anniversary Convertible Camaro SS rolls off the
assembly line. Since then she has only accumulated 29760 miles on
her. This LS1 powered Camaro is a blast to drive, especially with
the 6-speed manual. The fourth-generation Camaro debuted in 1993 on
an updated F-body platform. It retained the same characteristics
since its introduction in 1967: a coup� body style with 2+2 seating
(with an optional T-top roof) or convertible (reintroduced in
1994), rear-wheel drive, pushrod 6-cylinder and V8 engines. The
standard powerplant from 1993-1995 was a 3.4 L V6, then a 3.8 L V6
was introduced in 1995. A 350 CID Small Block V-8 engine, which was
introduced in the Corvette in 1992, was standard in the Z28.
Optional equipment included all-speed traction control and a new
six-speed T-56 manual transmission; the 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission was standard on the Z28, yet optional on the V6 models
which came with 5-speed manual as standard. Anti-lock brakes were
standard equipment on all Camaros. A limited quantity of the SS
version (1996-1997) came with the 330 HP small block engine from
the Corvette, although most were equipped with the 305 HP. The 1997
model year included a revised interior, and the 1998 models
included exterior styling changes, and a switch to GM's aluminum
block LS1 used in the Corvette C5. In 1998, the 5.7 L LS1 was the
first all-aluminum engine offered in a Camaro since the 1969 ZL-1
and carried a 325-horsepower rating. The SS versions (1998-2002)
received slightly improved exhaust and intake systems, bigger
wheels and tires, a slightly revised suspension for improved
handling and grip while retaining ride comfort, an arc-shaped rear
wing for downforce, and different gearing ratios for faster
acceleration, over the Z28 models. Chevrolet offered a 35th
anniversary edition for the 2002 model year. Production of the
F-Body platform was discontinued due to slowing sales, a
deteriorating market for sports coup�s, and plant overcapacity, but
an entirely new platform went on sale in 2009. The B4C Special
Service Package for police agencies was carried over from the 3rd
generation & sold between 1993-2002. To view the car in greater
