"For 10 years, the fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro dominated
Mustangs on the street and the strip as it bridged the gap between
GM's legacy small-block era and its LS powered future. Muscle car
fans in search of a good deal should focus on the initial Z28 with
the 275hp LT1 or the SS model with the 305hp V8 that came out three
years later. For those with a bigger budget, the 1998-2002 Camaros
borrow the Corvette's aluminum block 5.7-liter LS1, rated at up to
325 horsepower." Car and Driver, Sept. 2021, What to Buy
For consignment, a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS coupe showing 77,160
miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption.
This one has a few tweaks and an LS3 engine, bringing the power up
from the factory car's 325 horsepower to a dyno proven 425.73
ponies.
Exterior
Red and black is a common combination used in pop culture, design,
and branding. But we think it looks best on a fast car; case in
point, this SS dolled up in Bright Rally Red, a black cloth wrapped
C-pillar, hood scoop, and the fantastic addition the black 17-inch
wheels with not only a red trim ring, but enough air between the
spokes to reveal red Wilwood calipers. It makes for a bold
statement, capped by the black SS callouts on the fenders and tail
light panel. But wait, what's this? Robust black exhaust tips peek
out from the bumper, another nice attention to detail, all under
the shade of an epic integrated spoiler. Overall, the paint and
body are excellent. Imperfections noted include chips, so fading
and delamination of the red side molding, surface scratches,
various scuffs, and chin scrapes.
Interior
Basic black, formally known as ebony, is used on the interior
beginning with smooth paneled inner doors with plastic switchgear
and narrow storage bins, and both present cleanly. Black leather is
the material of choice for the bucket seats with some wear at the
entry point and wrinkles present on the driver's seat, but the
passenger and rear 2+2's are in very nice condition. The
monochromatic palette continues to the steering wheel with its few
integrated thumb buttons, and the instrument cluster, a basic
collection of only the most vital information. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD
player now resides in the center stack along with the standard A/C
panel while the automatic shifter rises from the plastic surrounds
of the center console which affords one cup holder for the
occupants to battle for. Charcoal carpet presents nicely as does
the headliner that surrounds the T-tops. The cargo area is sculpted
accept the t-tops and is spotless.
Drivetrain
Under the bridging strut tower brace sits a 6.2 liter 376ci LS3 V8,
with a mild cam, Livernois Motorsports heads, a FAST RHS LSX-R
intake and a FAST Big Mouth 92mm throttle body, but you don't have
to take our word for it; everything is labeled or engraved. Oh, and
showing cleanly. The 425 horsepower engine is backed by a 4L60E
4-speed automatic transmission and power is routed to a Strange
Dana S60 rear end. Headers begin the exhaust process.
Undercarriage
Clean conditions here as well where the red sway bars front and
rear, and the red rear torque arm dress things up a bit. The dual
exhaust leave from the headers and connects with a Speed
Engineering muffler which sends off two tailpipes ending in the
black tips. Power disc brakes are at all four wheels as we
discovered earlier, and suspension includes that torque arm with
coil springs in the back and coil springs in the front.
Drive-Ability
The fuel injection means an instant start and absolutely rocking
exhaust note. In stock form, the SS sounded pretty good but this
one is next level. It demonstrates power on demand in the field,
great handling, and perfect tracking on 275/40ZR17 tires that have
a late 2025 date code. All functions on board also work, and we
take this back inside before we get a ticket! While Classic Auto
Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of
our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working
at the time of your purchase.
This car takes an SS and dare we say, improves on some things the
factory attempted to do. Obviously, there's big power here and the
combination of black and red features on the exterior make this one
stand out from the crowd. The Camaro Nationals are coming to the
mall soon, so if this one interests you, best to call asap to beat
the Camaro devotees!
