Following the development of the Zeta architecture and because of its position as the GM global center of RWD development, GM Holden in Australia led the final design, engineering, and development of the Camaro. Production of the coupé began on March 16, 2009, in LS, LT, and SS trim levels.[21][22] LS and LT models are powered by a 3.6 L (220 cu in) V6 producing 312 hp (233 kW) for the 2010 & 2011 model mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with manual shift. The SS is powered by the 6.2 L (376 cu in) LS3 V8 producing 426 hp (318 kW) and is paired with a 6-speed manual. The automatic SS gets the L99 V8 with 400 hp (300 kW). The RS appearance package is available on both the LT and SS and features 20-inch wheels with a darker gray tone, halo rings around xenon headlamps, a unique spoiler, and red RS or SS badges.

Why are you so worried about what other people say?
 

If little things like this drive you batty, you're going to be upset about something all your life. Chill out and enjoy life.

Everyone has pet peeves and this is one of mine. And for the record, even with my pet peeves I still enjoy life.

It's okay for you to call yours an SS/RS? When it's really an SS with the RS option. Seems the same to me.

I've owned almost every camaro model now!
 

Actually yes it is since I'm posting my model and option in an avatar. It's and SS with the RS option. I'm not saying my model is an RS. It someone asks what model I have I'll say I have an SS, I don't say SS/RS. When I had my 2LT/RS and someone asked what I had I said I had a V6. I did not say an RS.

I beg you to fine me a dealer selling a model listed as an RS because you won't.


Felix - Speeding in my SS!

i dunno what to say.... :bonk:

Agree 100% with you. The RS is an appearance option package, as the 1LE is a performance option package for the SS but folks here use the 1LE term as if it was a separate model. Heck, this forum even gave it its own section. ;)
