So I saw an add for an '01 Camaro RS, heres a cpl pics:

Features: ABS, Air Conditioning, Alloy Wheels, AM/FM Radio, CD Player, Cruise Control, Driver-Side Airbag, Leather Interior, **Low Mileage**, Passenger-Side AirBag, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Remote Keyless Entry, Tilt Wheel T-TOPS
Standard Equipment: Pass key Security System, Air Conditioning, 16 inch Rim Size, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Dual front air bags/active belts, AM/FM Cassette, 231 Cubic Inch Displacement, Daytime Running Lights, Tilt Wheel, 4 wheel standard Anti-lock Brakes, 6 Cylinders

Mileage: 58,136
Body Style: Coupe
Exterior Color: Red
Interior Color: black

Engine: 6 Cylinders
Transmission: automatic
Drivetrain: RWD
Doors: 2

first of all, does this sound legit?.. is this really an "RS" or is it a base, badged as an RS with painted on stripes?..

Second..my car is failing more & more day after day. (Ford Taurus, go figure)
And previously I had spoken to my mom about her helping me get a camaro, and she seemed, slightly optimistic. Main thing is.. I wanted it to be white..or black..not red =/, but this one in particular has great milage on it, and its only 8,800.

Third: what makes an RS unique from the base camaro? besides just the stripes...I know its supposed to be an "Appearance" package..for this particular gen camaro, but I don't see anything besides the stripes (which I dont really care for anyway)
It's the seemingly best camaro in my area thats listed...but again i didn't want it red, and dont want the stripes..
I'd be getting this car for daily activities (work/school etc) if I were to get it..
eventually I want a 5th gen but it'll probably be quite a few years before I can even get one.
any suggestions?/thoughts?.. would be much appreciated.
Our taurus is currently in the shop for the 3rd time since we got our "New" transmission. and my mom is getting literally FED UP.
I think this may be a good time to try to go for a 4th gen...
as for it being "T-Tops" do those really deteriorate as badly as I'm assuming?..
those rather turn me off, they're cool, but..I'd rather not go for it if they are as big of as hassle as they seem...

I honestly have never even Seen a 4th gen RS on the road, nor have I heard much of any information regarding it.

anyway thanks in advance for any advice =)
