Not sure about the 45, but as well as a "red" SS emblem, there is also a "red" RS logo in the grille!...not sure if the 45th has that in the grille if its an RS....

not sure what you're trying to say but the 45th has the same badges as any other rs camaro. as in, if its a v8 it has a red ss in back and small red ss in grill. if its a v6 It's a red rs in back with small red rs in grill....

That's what I was trying to say...just thought there was confusion about whether or not the 45th SS/RS had an RS logo in the grill..

I actually had someone ask me why I had Rally on my license plate the other day. They thought it was supposed to mean the off road "rally" car...

This.

One thing I love about people who dont know cars, they see mine as just a sweet Camaro, and not, aww man, u just got the LS? LOL

One guy asked me if my car was a "really slow". I asked him what he meant and he said "well everyone knows RS' are slow compared to the SS".

As a rally fan without much interest in American cars it meant rallye sport, and if it was on a street car it was a homologation special or some facsimile (e.g. Ford Focus RS). Now I have a Camaro and know it means nice headlights, and no fog lights.

suplex · 04-20-2012, 06:55 AM

Let's make this more confusing. Imagine if you could "RS" an "LS", maybe you can

I remember, at first, there was just "LS", then...there was 1LS and 2LS, so now you can get the following.

1LS
2LS
1LT
2LT
1SS
2SS

...and I think, that all but the "LS" trims, can be "RS" packaged.

With Corvettes, there is: 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, & 4LT for the base model coupe.

So if you have a SS/RS then you must have a Super Rally Sport

Swacer · 04-20-2012, 08:49 AM

Thats why the back of my car says SS/RS, so they realize its just a package on the car.
