Camaro SS Info
"After a 24-year absence, the Camaro SS is back! And the reaction from the media consumers at auto shows and the response at Chevy dealerships has been outstanding." |

"SS", arguably the most legendary letters in the history of American muscle cars are again united with a vehicle worthy of that unique badge; the 1996 Z28 SS.
Produced by SLP Engineering, Inc. (SLP), and available at Chevrolet dealerships nationwide, Z28 SS offers the all-around powertrain performance, head-turning styling and value true to its distinctive nameplate.
Following in the footsteps of the famed Camaro SS's of the late 1960's is a daunting challenge. But one test drive will convince skeptics that Z28 SS has recaptured and refined the special magic of SS's of the past.
That was the consensus reached by many of the nation's top automotive writers who recently tested the high performance sports car during its debut at Elkhart Lake's Road America race track. Media were impressed by a comprehensive list of standard exterior, interior and underhood features which set Z28 SS apart from the production Z28."

What so special about a Camaro Z28 SS?
A total of 2,263 Camaro Z28 SS's were produced in 1996. Black then Red being the most popular colors, Teal being the least ordered. For 1997, the Anniversary Model was produced (white with orange racing stripes, black and white hounds-tooth seats and white wheels), but the name was changed to Camaro SS, dropping the Z28 designation. No console plaques were attached to the console, nor was the sequential number system used, only for the SLP paper invoice.
