Chevy Camaro Z28 SS SLP Edition Bright Red over Graphite Cloth
interior,T-tops,Delco-Bose Stereo,6-way power drivers seat,16"
Alloy wheels.Automatic transmission,Performance axle. Zeroing in on
your 1996 Z28 SS, things got very interesting back then as the
company continued its good relationship with General Motors,
converting its Z28 that year into the official Camaro Z28 SS. Your
Camaro underwent a very impressive SS conversion for a base price
of $3,999. Additionally, SLP options your Camaro include SLP
performance exhaust ($499), Torsen Torque Sensing rear ($999),
Hurst six-speed shifter ($349), engine oil cooler ($299), Z28 SS
floor mats ($99) and a Z28 SS car cover ($159). These enhancements
brought the final retail SLP upgrade to $6,403 over and above your
Z28s regular retail price. A total of 2,263 1996 SLP Z28 SS models
were built and most important for you is that just 264 were
convertibles. Your SLP conversion was number 904 that year
according to the Z28 SS production plate photo you included with
your letter. In 1997, SLP also offered the similar SS package, but
I don't see any Z28 SS logos on items like the floor mats, engine
cold air assembly, or the car cover listed on the option sheet that
link these two famous badges. To further strengthen your feelings
that 1996 was the only Z28 SS year, I found this 1996 press release
by SLP founder Ed Hamburger, a noted drag race champion and
businessman noted initially for his Hamburger's racing oil pans.
"When SLP received approval from Chevrolet in 1996 to offer the SS
base package and other options on the Camaro Z28 model, it marked
the re-introduction of the SS nameplate after a 24-year absence.
Right from the start, response from the entire Chevy team and its
dealers, performance enthusiasts and media has been, and continues
to be, overwhelmingly positive," said Ed Hamburger, founder and
president of SLP Engineering, Inc. "The 1996 Camaro SS instantly
became the new benchmark in affordable F-car high performance. Rear
