Greetings all, I just purchased my 8th F-body, an absolutely beautiful Sunset Orange '01 SS. I thought I pretty much knew all there was to know about these but with this one I find myself asking a few questions I hope you fellow F-body gearheads can answer. They may be petty, but I'm still curious nonetheless:
1. Right beside the foglight and ASR switch, there's a CAMARO nameplate. On some SSs I've seen it say CAMARO SS, but mine doesn't. I know on the 02s they all had the "35th Anniversary Camaro". Which ones had the CAMARO SS?
2. If an SS had the SLP wxhaust, does that mean it has the SS grille also? Because mine has the SLP exhaust but the standard grille.
3. Any way to find out production numbers on the SLP-equipped SSs?
Thanks all for your assistance.

Welcome! My current Camaro is also my 8th f-body.
1.) the Camaro SS nameplate was a Y2Y (SLP) option. You can still get one through SLP though.
2.) The SS grill was also another Y2Y option Each option would be a seperate charge.
3.) Im sure someone here will be able to get you those production numbers and you can also check over on the SLP message board. www.slpeng.com

Here's a link to some production totals, but I'm still working on locating the SS breakdowns by year.
Welcome! 8th F-body,that is pretty cool! Posted by Steve da Wrench (Member # 1301) on :
Welcome!
Feel free to ask questions, it gives us something to do around here.
The exhaust is a separate option from the grille, and so are the dash plaque/key fobs. Each item (along with quite a few others that were available) had to be ordered seperatly.
does this mean you currently have 8 F bodies? or have had in the past? Welcome aboard! Posted by 01SunsetOrangeSS (Member # 846) on :
Please ask questions, I get board just saying welcome all the time. I also have an 01 SOM SS 1 of 234 made in 2001.

Welcome to the family Crush. Sorry I am a little late and hope you enjoy yourself here. Everyone is great. Posted by CrushSS2001 (Member # 1911) on :
Thanks for the warm welcome, "y'all" (lol). Anyway I did some research with SLP, my car was build # 4148. It does have the Center-mounted exhaust and is supposed to have the SS grille but it doesn't. The car was bought new in Texas and that's where I got it, I'm guessing since TX has a 2-plate law, a front plate wouldn't work on an SS grille so that's why it has a standard Camaro Grille (?) So I need to get the grille, the key-fobs, floor mats and CAMARO SS dash plaque.
Steve, I don't have 8 F-bodies (wish I could afford to!). My previous 7 were:
Did you nick name it Hennery!!

You got it! Almost didn't post, thought it might be a bit of a stretch. Glad to know I'm not the only "old ****" on this board.
Posted by CrushSS2001 (Member # 1911) on :
Ohhhhhhhhhhh I get it now, how did I EVER miss that one..? lol No, Henry - or Hennery, as you put it, isn't the car's name - it's been nicknamed "Crush".
Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :
LOL Z. Yeah I just showed my age on that one. Oh well I still can move like I was a kid.
Ah heck I am a kid just experienced life for a while. Posted by Showgun (Member # 1930) on :
