There was actually a big difference between the SS and Z28 in the 60's. The SS was the high horsepower straight line muscle car. While the Z28 was a high reving light weight track car built to compete in the Trans Am series. As for the RS, it was nothing more than an appearance package. That is why you had RS/SS Camaros and RS/Z28 Camaros.

Thanks for the history lesson. My education in the first couple generations is sadly lacking :(

Technically that's true. The concpet was called the Tahoe SS, but when it went to production (model year 2000's I believe), it came out as the Tahoe Limited. All of them were black 2WD, slightly lowered with the same 345HP engine as the Trailblazer SS and the Silverado SS.

I can't find a Trailblazer SS prior to the slightly de-tuned 395hp LS2 in 2006.
The 03-06 EXT model had an optional 5.3L 290-300hp V8 though. 07-08 made the 5.3 optional on the regular Trailblazer as they discontinued the EXT.
