It’s best to read as there are many little differences between the two and am not sure what your wanting. Both sites give you a run down on the conusmer review and the differences between the two, including seat configuration and engine output.

Q: What is the difference between a Chevy Camaro and a Camaro RS?
I need to know the difference between the trim of a regular Camaro and a RS. Thank You.
This is a 1997 Chevy Camaro Z28 clone w/ T-tops.

A: Camaro – base model which comes with a Series II 3800 3.8L V6 engine rated at 200 HP. Prior to 1996, the standard engine was a 3.4L V6 with 160 HP with the 3.8L being an option in mid-1995. A 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic (4L60E) transmission is available. A performance package (Y87) is also available starting in 1996 which includes a posi rear, rear disc brakes, 3.42 gearing in the A4, exhaust pipes/tips on both sides, and sport steering ratio.

RS – appearance package available starting in 1996 for the base Camaro (V6) only. It includes ground effects and an up-level spoiler. “RS” badges are located on the front fenders and rear passenger bumper.

Then, there was the Z28 and the SS above the RS models.

Z28 – high end model which comes with the 5.7L V8 (LT1) engine rated at 285 HP. Prior to 1996, it was 275 HP, but the a second catalytic converter added 10 more HP. A black roof treatment was standard on all 1993 and 1994 Z28s, and 1995 models and later offered a roof that was the same color as the rest of the body as an option. A 6-speed (Borg-Warner T-56) or 4-speed automatic (4L60E) transmission is available. The suspension and brakes are enhanced for improved handling. Two available Preferred Equipment Groups make the car either moderately or fully loaded. “Z28″ badges are located on the front fenders and rear passenger bumper. In 1993, an Indy 500 Pace Car version (with automatic transmission) was made with a black and white paint scheme and mutli-colored paint stripes along each side of the car.

SS – available as an upgrade to the Z28 model starting in late-1995 (as a 1996 model). The package include a functional ram air hood scoop and reworked exhaust manifolds resulting in 305 HP and 335 ft-lbs of torque. An optional freer flowing exhaust system brings HP to 315 and torque to 342 ft-lbs. The stock wheels and tires are replaced with 5-spoke 17″ ZR-1 style wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires. Hurst shifter and Torsen differential were available options. Bilstein shocks, stiffer rate springs/bushings, and a larger front sway bar make up the optional Level-II suspension. The stock spoiler is replaced with sleeker looking one. “SS” badges replace the “Z28″ badges on the front fenders and rear passenger bumper. All cars were shipped as stock Z28s to Street Legal Performance (SLP) Engineering where the above modifications were made through 1997. After that, GM made the modifications on its own assembly line.

Q: What is the best way to turn an automatic 1997 Camaro into a standard/manual?
I’ve had my camaro for a few years now, and decided to strip it out, barebone. I also wanted to change it from an automatic to a standard, and I wanted to know the cheapest , most efficient, do-it myself way. I know you can buy a shift kit for a camaro, but is it possible to just go to a junk yard, find an f-body camaro and interchange the manual transmission? Any ideas, helpful hints and links will be amazing.

A: You’ll need to get a bell housing and drive shaft for a manual tranny, and the shift kit, as well as all the clutch parts, and maybe the cross member. It’s been a while, so you might want to do a search on it.

Q: Why does a 2002 camaro z28 beat a 2010 camaro v6 in fuel economy and performance?
The new v6 camaro gets 26 mpg on the highway, 300 hp, and a 0-60 time of 6.1. A 2002 camaro z28 gets 26 mpg highway, 305 hp, and a 0-60 time of 5.3.

A: First off, despite being rated at 305hp, they actually make 350hp. Second, those numbers are ESTIMATES. A lot of variables decide the fuel economy of vehicles.

Q: What’s the difference between the chevy camaro LS and the chevy camaro SS?
I really like the chevy camaro but I’m not sure the difference between the LS and the SS?
I really like the 2010 chevy camaro but I’m not sure the difference between the LS and the SS?

A: The SS is sportier. Check out the details here:

http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Spec_Glance.aspx?year=2010&make=Chevrolet&model=Camaro&trimid=-1

This tells you every detail you need to know, including mpg difference, interior features such as leather wrapped steering wheel, and external features such as fog lights (which do not come on an LS).

Q: What colors did my 83 camaro come stock with?
I have an 83 z28 camaro and its light blue with silver stripes. It has t-tops also. Did this blue come stock? If so what color blue is it or where can I find out? Also, it has a blueish color fabric interior and I’d also like to know the name of that color is. Is there a web site that says the color combinations that came with the car?

A: Nick please use the link posted.This is one of the best camaro sites on the web.Camaro specs,colors,trim and tons of info on your 1983 camaro.Best of luck. http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new_site.php?url=open_new_layout.htm

Q: Does a 1983 Camaro have a shoulder strap for the seatbelt?
I recently bought a 1983 Camaro with T-tops and all there is a lap belt. I have had three Camaros before but none with T- tops and I never been in a Camaro of that year with T-Tops. I looked around the car to see if it was just missing but it doesn’t look like it.

A: 1965 was the first year for seat belts had to be in the car buy law, 1969 was the first year for shoulder belts had to be in the car and again by law.

so yes 1983 camaros do or should have them.

it should be on the b-post just behind where the door closes about half way up the window.

Q: What ignition systems were typically put on a 1978 Camaro RS?
I have a 1978 Camaro RS, but I don’t know what type of ignition it has nor do I have it right now to go look at it. Can anyone tell me what ignition systems were typically put on this year and package of Camaro?

A: it was called an H.E.I. system [ High Energy Ignition] …it contained a ignition module , a pick up coil , a rotor ,a mechanical advance, a distributor cap , & a large ignition coil mounted on the top, with a plastic cover over it. some model,s were equipped with a vacuum advance pod & some were not…they discontinued the vacuum advance because it would move the distributor back & forth effectively breaking the pick up coil wiring , these unit,s were good ignition system,s but were too high in voltage..there were many report,s of spark arcing through the rotor & around the inside of the cap…high temperature,s caused module failure often…the use of a dielectric silicone compound or gel helped to alleviate this problem….I hope this was enough information….good luck with your camaro.

Q: How many MPG does the 2010 Camaro go with automatic transmission?
im planning on getting a 2010 camaro with good mpg. i just want to know.

A: Are you gettin the V6 version?
or the V8 version.

the V8 gets 26mpg
and the V6 gets an average of 29mpg.

Thats really good for a car with 426 horsepower.

Q: 88 camaro 350 tbi stumbles and stuters when i start driving up hills?
88 camaro 350 tbi stumbles and stuters when i start driving up hills or a pass?
i have to pull over every 25feet or so or crawl at like 15 miles an hr to make it up the hill, then i guess its ok on flats but feels pretty sluggish. its almost like its a fuel problem?

A: i would definetly check timing. and fuel pressure

and do a nice tuneup..

maybe get the injectors on the tbi flow tested to see how there working

those tbi units are terrible. ive had nothing but problems with them

FYI: i usually dont bash on other people answers..but sandra obviously has no clue what shes talking about…no carburator because your tbi…from how your describing it is not a transmission problem and i have no clue what else there talking about

Q: By what time will 2010 Camaro be available for a certified buy?
I want to buy a 2010 Certified Chevrolet Camaro. Not a new one, neither a used one. So i wanted to get an idea of how long does it usually take for a car to come to the certified market after it came to the market. 2010 camaro started selling in April 09, so its been 10 months now. How long before it comes to the certified market?

A: they are already out, dealers can get them at the auction and then go through the certification process, there are plenty of them running through the auctions.

Q: My 95 Camaro is missing real bad when I drive since replacing the serpentine belt?
About two weeks ago the serpentine belt on my Camaro snapped upon ignition (it was really cold and the belt was obviously bad). Now when I drive, the car is missing really bad. Almost sounds like a backfire, it shakes all the time (gotten worse over time, wasn’t all that bad at first) and upon start up I smell gas inside the cabin. Is it just out of time real bad or something worse? Please help, I love this car!

A: First of all, there is ABSOLUTELY no need to check the damn timing after putting on ANY serpentine belt. As far as the broken belt knocking off a wire….no! That is impossible on one of those engines be it 6 or 8 cylinder.
Take it to a shop and have it looked at. You either inadvertently disconnected something or you have a new unrelated problem.

Q: What generation era of the Camaro do you all think looks the best?
I have a 3rd Generation Camaro & it’s the awesome small block 350 with some mods. I have the 88 IROC-Z & in my opinion it looks better than the 4th Generation Camaro’s. I like them all except for the 70’s look. Tell me what you all think.

A: i think that the new camaro is hot! but i like the 85-91 camaros better. i have a ‘87 iroc-z with ttops andi love that car….

Q: What kind of modifications will be needed to fit 4l60e out of 95 camaro into 91 camaro rs?
The car it was taken out of is a 1995 Chevy Camaro LT1 5.7L . I want to put it in my 91 Camaro rs 305 tbi. What will i need to do to make this work?

A: I am not sure excactly what you will need but here is a link going over how it was done.

Here are some other links that may be of use.

In my oppinion it should be fairly easy, your 91 probably has a 700R4 (these are the same as 4L60e except for electronic shifting) which they put in Camaros from 1984 -1993 .

Is your Transmission in the 1991 bad? Becasue the only difference between the 2 transmissions, that I am aware of is the 4L60e has the electronic shifter.
