Used Car of the Day: 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS SLP

The 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS SLP is one of those cars I used to geek out on when I picked up a buff book back during my college days. So naturally, I picked this one for today's UCOTD.


This car has T-tops, the factory Hurst shifter, a factory Monsoon stereo, and factory leather. It also has a lot of mods. Still, according to the seller, it's a great daily driver and has only been to the track once.

The car has been garage-kept and hasn't been driven a ton, though it does appear to have about 111,000 miles (not shocking for a car old enough to drink).

Mods include LS6 heads, a C Motion cam, an upgraded intake, an upgraded exhaust, an upgraded rear-end with a 4:10 ratio, and more.

It makes 435 horsepower, runs 93 pump gas, and the compression ratio is 11:3.

The paint is apparently in good shape, and defects seem limited to an ABS light that can't be turned off and a foggy headlamp.

The asking price for this Texas-based car is $15,900.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    “Only been to the track once” is quite a statement one should consider much more then they probably intended when they added it in the ad. Just Saying…

    That's a lot of automobile for the money.

  • Lorenzo You can't sell an old man's car to a young man, but you CAN sell a young man's car to an old man (pardon the sexism, it's not my quote).Solution: Young man styling, but old man amenities, hidden if necessary, like easier entry/exit (young men gradually turn into old men, and will appreciate them).
  • Wjtinfwb Hmmm. Given that most Ford designs are doing relatively well in the marketplace, if this was forced I'd bet it was over the S650 Mustang. It's not a bad looking car but some angles seem very derivative of other makes, never a good trait for a car as distinctive as Mustang. And if he had anything to do with the abysmal dashboard, that's reason enough. Mustang doesn't need the "Tokyo by Night" dash arrangement of a more boring car. Analog gauges, a screen big enough for GPS, not Netflix and some decent quality plastics is plenty. The current set-up would be enough to dissuade me from considering a new Mustang.
  • Lorenzo Aw, they don't need a designer - just put modern underpinnings on a 1955 Ford Fairlane. Stellantis could revive Chrysler and Dodge by putting modern mechanicals on a 1955 Imperial and 1955 Dodge Coronet.
  • Lorenzo For both models, and their larger Accord/Camry models, the crash test ratings are very close, but only for late year models. The pre-2010 Civic and Corolla both fold like a cheap suit in a crash. If you're looking for a safer 10 year old vehicle, buy a truck.
  • L&L I have a 2004 Xb right now the odometer reads 265,000 miles no mayor issues ,pay 14,500 . you don't need complaints about this lunch box the best .
