The real difference is the 310hp/340tq in the Z28 versus the 325hp/350tq in the SS. Did i forget to mention the SS looks a hundred times better.

JD1969's photo gallery 		Sorry to bring back a dead post. There is no real world performance difference, ALL LS1 cars got the LS6 intake in 01. The SS is an apperance package mostly the main difference is the SS got slightly different shocks and springs and a different sway bar. The ram air does not add any power. I have seen dozens of these cars on a dyno and can tell you first hand, Z28's and SS's will all dyno within a few hp of each other. I agree that the SS looks better, thats why I bought one.

Status: offline 		you guys are all talking factory hp ratings. 1st the 01' 02' are 350hp cars add another 20-25 for the s.s. for the airbox and exhaust. g.m. had no intensions building the cars past the 2000 model year, but what do you do when you have all these ls-1 motors sitting around for the corvette that they knew a new motor was in developement.(put it in the f-body)all of us lucky bastards with 01-02 f-bodys we have 350hp vette motors with the z-06 emmisons and better intakes then the 98 to 2000 cars.

JD1969's photo gallery 		SS cars did not come with detroit locker rear ends, the ram air hood has little to no affect on HP. Like I said it is 99% cosmetic. 15% of 01 and 02 cars got the LS6 block, all 01-02 cars had LS6 intake, no f-bodys had the LS6 heads or cam. The 01-02 LS1's were all pretty much the same, they put down about 330-340 hp at the flywheel. Look I own an 01 SS and really likeit, but I know what it is. Go ask this question on LS1tech.com and see what kind of answers you get.
