1997 SS RPO codes

The Hammer28 · 09-07-2008, 10:45 PM

I just picked up a 97 SS that has both the RT7 code and WU8 code. I thought that the WU8 code was exclusive to LS1 SS cars. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks.

From my 1997 30th Anniversary SS, I have neither the R7T nor the WU8 . . .

This is what mine has:

I have R7A and WU9 . . . ?

But from what I have found and noted . .

The R7T was the RPO code for the SS package in 1997 . . .

The R7A was a SLP option code . .

The WU8 was linked to the SS package . . . .

The WU9 was linked to the 30th Anniversary SS package . .

I only found one other website stating that it can have both RPO's, but it didn't go into much detail. My SS doesn't have a factory CD player or traction control, which I also thought was wierd.

Andy,
My 97 LT4's SPI sticker reads identical to yours exept for two codes (mine=IP3, 103) (Yours=IPC,10C)

Sorry, I can't help on the codes in question.

I have the same RPO codes on my 97 SS. I searched the internet awhile ago about this topic, but I didn’t find anything. I do have a cassette player though with the 12 disc changer in the trunk. I also do not have traction control.

I have the R7A, R7T, and WU8 on my car.
