My Camaro collegue and I have had this debate for the last few months:

SS RS

- or -

RS SS

Your thoughts?

John Farnen · 09-08-2009, 10:26 PM

I would say RSSS, as I've always called my 69 convert. It's an SS with an RS description

bluch · 09-08-2009, 10:27 PM

SS RS FTW

ljustin293 · 09-08-2009, 10:28 PM

SS/RS for sure

ajp · 09-08-2009, 10:40 PM

SS/RS

TJ91 · 09-08-2009, 11:29 PM

definitly SS/RS

Sierra · 09-08-2009, 11:32 PM

its SS/RS for the 2010. If I not mistaken the !st generation went by rs/ss

djsnoflake · 09-09-2009, 01:42 AM

It's an SS with the RS package.

so SS/RS

You don't go, "Yeah this baby has the RS package. Oh yeah and a V8." You say, "This is the SS with an RS package"

This thread started 2 days after I order "SS/RS" for my license plate

SS trumps a RS. SS is a performance package and RS is an apperance package. That's why SS in red denotes that is a SS with RS package. SS RS is correct>

camaro99 · 09-09-2009, 01:31 PM

ss is the model then rs is the option
wish they had put both instead of color code and on fender as wellunder camaro

Typically, in her Majesty's English, a 'descriptor' goes before the item being described. Ie: I have a "yellow Camaro", therefore, I have an RS SS, since the RS describes the additional package on the subject, being the SS.

To say I have an SS RS is like saying, I have a Camaro yellow...

In Gen 1's it was whacky how you could order cars and it could be more confusing then but in the modern Gen 5 it is simple.

The RS with no SS is a V6

The SS with no RS is a V8

So in my thinking it could NEVER be a RS/SS....ONLY SS/RS
