1996 Camaro SS

Wallpaper Description:

The return of the Camaro SS in 1996 was marked with a bold hood scoop, taller rear spoiler and ZR1-style 17-inch wheels – as well as more horsepower. The 5.7L LT1 engine was fed more fresh air by the hood scoop, which helped push horsepower from the Z28’s standard 285 hp to 305 hp. Additional performance optional equipment included a Hurst short throw shifter, a “cat-back” exhaust system, a Torsen limited-slip differential and a “Level II” suspension package that include track-oriented 1LE components. The cars were transformed from Z28 models to the SS by SLP Engineering, of Tom’s River, N.J., at a secondary assembly facility. Only 2,269 examples were built that inaugural year. This example is owned by Carl Lins and is #240 of the production run. It is one of only 115 Arctic White hardtops – and only 73 of them, like this car, were equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission
