To clarify the Firebird/Camaro thing...
ALL Camaros and Firebirds start off as a Camaro or Firebird, and they all have steps after that...
1st Step:
Camaro or Firebird, ONLY offered with the V6 engine
2nd Step:
Z28 or Formula (NOT Formula 1), ONLY offered with the V8 engine
3rd Step:
No third step for the Camaro, third step for the Firebird is the Trans Am, which has the same V8 engine, but has the appearance package, Formulas look like V6 Firebirds, Trans Ams look like Trans Ams
4th Step:
Camaro gets no fourth step either, and the Trans Am can get the WS6 package which adds a little bit bigger sway bars and the ram air hood
5th Step:
This is the SLP optioned cars, the SS and the Firehawk. Same engine as the Z28 and Formula, just appearance mods mostly, although they do have options for some suspension work and the like.
the last SLP camaro SS was rated at something like 340 hp IIRC.....
it has to be alot more than appearance mods and suspension work to achieve that.... (I know the exhaust is done nicely, but theres gotta be some engine work, no?)
edit: yes I'm THAT considerate to post 9 times in a row like a moron..... I wish I knew how to quote multiple times in one post
