Just curious. I know they didn't produce an ungodly amount of SSs, but I see them all over the place here in Cincy, OH. Wondering if anyone else has the same effect. There alot of LT1 style Zs and such, prolly a handful LT1 style SSs, but the LS1 body I see TONS of them. Almost everyone that has a LS1 Camaro on our local boards is an SS.
So like I said, just curious. . .

I know of about 10 of various years here in town. I'm sure there are more.
Posted by DanPazich (Member # 1352) on :
In the Harrisburg Area, since I bought my car almost 2 years ago I have seen a total of 5-7 specific 98+ SS's. One is a 35th that I have seen twice but cant track him down. There are a lot of 93-97 Z28's though, that's the primary Camaro I see of the 4th generation. Posted by Harry (Member # 1834) on :
I have a co-worker who has a 2000 SS coupe, but other than that, they are as rare as hen's teeth around here
Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :
I see quite a few Camaros of different types around here. From the V6 version all the way to the 35th Anniversary model. Including all years of the 4th generation.

i feel your pain....same here....my 'hood is a combination of "soccermomville" & "ghettoland"! i rarely see ANY other SSs, nor does my car get many 2nd glances....*sniff* Posted by vargod (Member # 1116) on :
When I got my 99 HOSS, I never saw another SS. Then when I got my 97 30th SS, I started seeing a few more. There afr very few around this area. Now if I go to the Virginia BEach area I could see allot more. In fact, I saw my first Firehawk in this area yesterday, 2 actually.
Posted by Robbie-97SS2902 (Member # 206) on :
Very rare around here. I think we have 3 or 4 in the local club.

We had 1 other 96/97 at the SLP Picnic back in april,(75 cars) as there are only about 5k of these made, you won't see many. Think the production #'s for the 02' are what?, 11k with 3k being the LE's. I see alot more 00'+ models than the earlier ones, which is right for the production #'s. I've got the production #'s for each yr. if you want them.

We have at least 12 in our little city. I'm sure that there are probably double that number, but I have not met them yet!

There are a few in my area that seem to make it over to my house from time to time. Posted by Camaroman_99 (Member # 1972) on :
I know of 2 other SS's in my area, lots of regular Camaros, An SS is a rare site
Posted by Sweden SS (Member # 1747) on :
I know of one in my hometown, a 96 or 97 black vert, and one here in Stockholm, a red 98 t-top. I've heard rumors that there are only five LS1 SS's in the whole country... my car included.
Posted by Jim Mac (Member # 113) on :
Not that rare - hell, even Bonte has one!
Posted by MaryandRalph (Member # 244) on :
Not many around here at all. 5 total that I know of. More Firehawks and Trans-Ams than the SS' Lots of z-28 though.
Posted by NATESS (Member # 982) on :
not too many here, but i do see them here and there. probably an average of 1-3 every 2 weeks or so.

I would like to see the #'s for 96'/97'. It is very rare to see an LT1/SS. I LS1 everywhere.
Posted by Brians-SS (Member # 1988) on :
Theres one down the street of me(just appeared in the area) never met the guy. saw a NBM once, and a SOM the other day. to have an SS in my area is very rare i think they are all invisible, hehe

They're not TOO rare, although you don't see too many out and about around here. There's about a half dozen or so that I've seen in the area, but there may be more hiding in garages.....but none exactly like mine. Posted by Voiceguy (Member # 844) on :
There are lots around here. At the local Camaro club meets, maybe ten turn out. There are a number north of San Diego, in and around San Marcos and Poway. Down here in Chula Vista, there's a nice Arctic White 'vert, and another black SS with either a chambered exhaust or the LM. I'd have to say there are close to 30 in the area.

Production numbers for SS Camaro 4th gen 96 - 2,263 97 - 3,108

Posted by helloween (Member # 1506) on :
well mine is a 96' production #0716. Black, w/T-tops, 6 speed.
Now which is it 2,263 or 2,410. I looked it up one time and the numbers i saw were closer to the 2,200 range.
Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :
I am kind of surprised that only 11,000 SS' were made in 2002. I thought there would be more with it being its last year of production. Posted by TomK (Member # 501) on :
They're fairly rare here in the Charlotte, NC area.

Well it was a lot more than previous years. Still..I guess they weren't selling...tis the fact they are now defunct Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :
Very true Dan. I had heard though that when customers heard that the Camaro was ending, that many people were putting orders in and production couldn't keep up. Now I am wondering if that was true? Posted by Rhino (Member # 920) on :
They're pretty rare around here. Only 2 others that I know of. They're both EXACTLY the same as well. T-tops, black ext, ebony int, m6 cars.
Mine is a little different.

Hey Badrag,
Could you break mine down for me? It's a '99 coupe, no tt's, a4, sebring silver metallic, grey leather interior, cd changer.
Also, if anybody knows; why don't I have a camaro ss badge by my asr switch? I thought all ss's had that.
While I have you all here, also how do I tell the maker of my brakes? I bought the car used and it has cross-drilled rotors. Any way to tell who made them?
Thanks John
Posted by 30AnnySS (Member # 1985) on :
Camaros are rare around here period... this being due to the fact that about 9 months out of the year they are literally impossible to drive. (4 feet of snow) SS's are super rare, and the only 2 i can think of ever seeing is a red convertible, and a white "fake" 3oth anniversary. It seems to be a real SS, but has silver painted ZR1 wheels and gray interior. Stripes apparently were added later.

They are fairly rare around here... There is a SOM 'vert I see in Budd Lake fairly often, and a red Firehawk that I see only when the weather is crappy
Other than that... oh yeah and Jim's old rusty '98 Posted by gauSSian (Member # 2027) on :
They are as rare as Z06's are around here. 3.7 million C5's, but 2 or 3 SS's and 2 or 3 Z06's and no 'Hawks.
(perhaps I exxagerated a bit on the C5 #, but...)
Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :
Hopefully there will be several Camaro SS' at my house tomorrow for the BBQ. I will take pictures to share also. Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :
decent # of SS here in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake VA!
Posted by davelw (Member # 1991) on :
Couple SSs around here, used to have a neighbor that had an orange (00 I think) one, only seen 1 Hawk though.
Posted by STONES_SS (Member # 1694) on :
Here is Calhoun, there are 2 black, 2 red, 1 pewter, 1 Silver and one Hugger.
My wifes, 1 red and the Hugger are the only ones I'd consider an SS. The others have been ragged something awful and I can't remeber the last time I've seen them clean.

Rare here in the NW Philly suburbs. Only 3 in Harleysville (pop. 10,000+) that I know of. A lot more Firehawks than SS's, but I wave to 'em all.
If I wanted dime-a-dozen pony car, I would have bought a Rustang... OK, that's a stretch! (j/k, my Ford friends) Posted by Y2KSS1363 (Member # 1564) on :

San Marcos checking in. How's #31 Andy?
Posted by Voiceguy (Member # 844) on :
Hi there, Steve! #31 is just fine. I'm still running your chrome intake grill. You know, I come from the eastern part of Canada, and I'm thinking there MUST be at least one SS in that area, but there are none anywhere to be seen on the net! I'd love to see just one member from east of Quebec. Andy

Around where I live I never see any other Camaro SS's. I see some V-6's and Z28's but mine is the only SS around here.

The Camaro SS badge youre talking about was the "Key Fobs & Plaque" option for the SS. You can order it if you want(will cost round $50) and it comes with 2 keyfobs, and the Camaro SS dash plaque(has 3m adhesive to attatch). Will have to call the SLP office in Troy for that part, and have your VIN# ready.
for the break down of your car. there were 15 Bright Silver(thats the color on the sheet I have) A4's. dont have any numbers for leather, or cd changer, but i have the numbers for the SLP options. Here they are for 1999 A4's: ZR-1 Wheels : 2 were made with them Bilsten Suspension: 5 Auburn Differental: 0 Floor Mats: 4 Car Cover: 3 Castrol Oil Option: 3 SLP Performance Exaust: 4 Key Fobs: dont have the numbers, sorry You have a rare car, even without the SLP options im jealous, hehe. jus kiddin! hope this info is what you were lookin for. oh and i dont know bout the rotors sorry maybe they might have the name on the back or fronts in the center, Im not certain bout that.
Posted by Camaro_Woody (Member # 1619) on :
Very rare here. I know the only other 3 that I have seen in north orange county. Badrag, what you got for a 02 blue t-top 6 speed with stock rims and leather, with everything but the 6 disk player? how many made? Thanks
