Mentor, Ohio In 2002, Chevrolet bid a fond farewell to the Camaro. At the time, they didn't know whether it was forever or just a temporary separation, but the 2002s were the pinnacle of 35 years of F-body performance, refinement, and styling. The SS models were the top of the Camaro food chain in 2002, and packed a 325-horsepower punch thanks to the Corvette's LS-1 engine fed by a ram-air intake that made an extra 15 horses over the Z28. Alas, sales continued to slip, and until recently, General Motors couldn't make a decent business case for their incredibly potent pony car's survival. But the fact that they went out of production doesn't mean that Gen-4 Camaros aren't great cars—they're about the biggest bang for your buck in the entire automobile kingdom, even nearly 8 years later. And when they're loaded with options and have unbelievably low mileage like this one, it's like getting a second chance to own a new one all over again. Looking spectacular in its Sunset Orange Metallic paint over an ebony leather interior, this 2002 Camaro SS displays just 3074 miles from new and still shows perfectly in every way. It is one of only 263 6-speed SS coupes in that color, making it incredibly rare and incredibly attractive, especially with the optional chrome-plated 17-inch SS wheels. It is fully documented, with both original window stickers (GM's and SLP's), owner's manuals and booklets, the Camaro retrospective book that came with all 2002 Camaros, and the letter from the Camaro team managers. This car also includes a Diablosport Predator programmer designed to modify the car's computer for even more performance. However, we don't think you'll be disappointed with this car's performance in stock condition. Although GM rated the Camaro's engine at a lower level than the Corvette's, performance seems to suggest that it was really just a numbers game on paper. With 5-second 0-60 runs, and quarter mile times in the low-13s, the SS Camaros were a lot faster than 325 horsepower suggested—they act more like 350, which is about what the Corvettes were making. Hmmmm... And by 2002, the suspension had been tamed, making this car not only a terrific straight-line performer, but a formidable corner-carver, too, thanks in part to giant 275/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS tires. On an almost 8-year-old car, you might be worried about condition, but with this SS, you can be assured that it is almost as-new in every way. With less than 500 miles per year, this car just hasn't had the opportunity to get into trouble and as such, everything is perfect. The leather-trimmed seats are unmarked, there isn't a speck of road rash anywhere on the nose, and even the tires have 99.5% of their tread remaining. Look underneath, and it's clear that this car has never seen the rain and that the previous owner was absolutely meticulous about maintenance. It's also packed with options. Beyond the goodies that you get on a standard SS, this car also carries the Preferred Equipment Group, T-Tops, leather seats, a Hurst shifter for the 6-speed manual, and a rear defroster. In terms of pony cars, this one is about as loaded as you can get. When comparing the Camaro SS to a Mustang SVT Cobra, Motor Trend magazine had this to say: "Working the Camaro through the corners is like shooting a .44 Magnum: Grip, aim, pucker, then fire. The best way through the corners is to let the engine do its thing in the straight parts, then brake hard, carry as much speed as you can through a corner without seeing ghosts, then power out. And we do mean power out: The SS' cannon-like grunt really helps launch the car out of corners, gear choice be damned." Continual upgrades over the years have made it more driver-friendly, but there's no getting around the fact that this car's best attribute is going fast. A few hard runs through the gears is all it takes to remind yourself that the Camaro's LS-1 V8 is one of the most incredible eight-cylinder engines available anywhere, in any car. The power starts early and never stops, and it's always delivered with a throaty growl that makes you want to pin it to redline at every opportunity. The optional Hurst shifter makes banging though the gears that much more fun. Looking back on the long history of the Camaro, there's little doubt that this final-year SS is one of the fastest, best-handling, and most collectable Camaros of all time. This car's condition and six speed transmission make for a car that's perfect for putting away while the low-but-not-too-low mileage means you can enjoy it on the open road, too! |
