RS package also included LED tail lamps on the 2014s. Which look great.

And I do like the color HUD a lot.

Anyway, like I said, not 100% sure of that claim and too lazy to search right now, but throwing it out there for the community to confirm/deny.

While it's true that the Camaro's top speeds (at least for the SS and V6 models) coincide with the tire ratings, the RS package isn't the key.

ANY Camaro with wheels 19" or larger has at least a 155mph top speed. That means all SSs, all 2LTs, and any 1LT that either has the RS package or the optional 19" wheels.

Because it has nothing to do with the RS package. It's a 2LT, 2SS, or ZL1 trim level feature.

Good advice if your only concern is the fact that they're summer tires.

In my case, I was also concerned with the higher cost of 20" replacement tires down the road.

Is your spoiler just really hard to see in that picture, or did you remove it?

Just curious.

Really?

Looking at TireRack, the 20" PZeros on the RS (fronts, 245/40-20) are $198 each. Didn't look up what the 275/40-20 that go on the rears cost, but I'm guessing it's not less.

The 19" PZero Neros that come on my 2LT (245/45-19 at all 4 corners) are $168 each.

Standard equipment on the 2LT/2SS. Also included in the "Convenience & Connectivity" package for other trims, when that package existed.

In 2013 C&C was discontinued, and it became standard equipment on the 1LT and 1SS as well.

Yep. I like it in the winter.

Edited my post while you were writing, to include this (since you have a '13):

In 2013 C&C was discontinued, and it became standard equipment on the 1LT and 1SS as well.

Thanx! you have great info. I went to the garage just to check if I still had the remote start . So, I was just about to ask you what was the connectivity and what it exist of. I was hoping that it didn't have anything to do with Instate LOL. Because I had discontinued that service but I'm happy it still work.

I wouldn't buy a Camaro without the RS package. For me it has to have the 20" wheels. The RS badges are cool too.

But your roads really suck in the winter time... especially during frost heave times. Who the hell would want to subject their beautiful Camaro to that?

Beautiful state though. I lived in Manchester for a while, many moons ago.
