SLP excelled in making the most of Chevy’s small block V8s, and thanks to a few time-tested tricks, this SS was the fastest, nastiest pony car on the market in 1997. The most notable upgrade is, of course, that functional ram-air hood, which includes a massive air filter right under the scoop, which force-feeds the LT1 nice, cool air. Other tweaks include a special cat-back exhaust system that gives this Camaro a rebellious roar instead of a stock mumble, and a few other tweaks to add a few ponies here and there. The engine bay is extremely clean with all the factory parts still intact and sings of careful maintenance that keeps it in top mechanical condition without spoiling its authenticity. Recent service includes a new A/C compressor and dryer, a fresh water pump, and new belts. A 4-speed automatic transmission snaps through the gears like you’re power-shifting it yourself and the hunkered-down suspension is far more capable than you’d expect from a car with a live rear axle. You’ll note that the floors are immaculate with factory overspray and no signs that this car has ever seen snow. Classic 5-spoke “A-mold” wheels are one of Chevy’s very best designs, with these wearing 275/40/17 BFGoodrich rubber with plenty of life left.
