34k-Mile Supercharged 1997 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

When the all-new 1993 Camaro Z28 outran the 1993 Mustang Cobra in a Car and Driver comparison test, the GM faithful knew they had something special. Its high-tech LT1 V8 easily revved past five grand, providing big torque and surprising horsepower. Beneath the fourth-generation Camaro’s wedge-shaped body was a track-ready front short/long arm and rear torque arm suspension with monotube shocks, four-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch wheels, and sticky tires. And the interior felt more like a cockpit with low, bolstered buckets and a hooded instrument cluster with full analog gauges.

Even though the 1993-97 Z28 had dominated the pony car wars, GM wasn’t done: it contracted with aftermarket powerhouse SLP to create the faster, more exclusive Camaro SS. Major upgrades included an aggressive hood with cold air induction, ZR-1 style wheels, a rear spoiler, and SS badging. With the optional exhaust system, the SS put out 310 horses and 325 lb-ft of torque, and Car and Driver exclaimed, “The SS chalked up a 0-to-60-mph clocking of 4.9 seconds, smack dab in Corvette ZR-1 territory at half the price.”

This 1997 Camaro SS is one of only 3,137 built that year, and it wears additional SLP upgrades and a ProCharger supercharger for even more performance.
