cus while SuperSport sounds better than Z28, the ranking is actually the reverse. Z28 is the top dog as far as the RPO codes go.

tho the 4th gens did only have the v-6 and z28 models to start with, they did have factory modified Z28s that were badged as SS's. but that was due to the part on GM only offering the base model and Z28 to start with.

but RS is the Z26 code
SS is the Z27 code
Z28 is the.... Z28 code


Does that mean that the Z71 is the top dog? oh wait there is the Z82 truck...
I do not know which should be the 'top', but in 1969 was a SS-396 or Z/28 302 superior/ Did it not depend on the purpose? Z/28 for curves-trans am racing, and 396 just flat out fast.

Z/28 is an identity to Camaro, I would not want to see it limited to a few 550 hp special production cars. I also like the SS but GM has put SS on 40 years worth of cars, as an upgrade, sometimes the only improvement were the letters S and S.

RS would be good for the 'premium' V6 or a base V8 if we get 3, like the
3.6 - Berlinetta----just kidding
LLT - LT (it did exist- 70s) check: Type LT for the years with no Z/28
L76 - RS
LS3 - Z/28
LSA/6/7/9 - SUPER Z
