When I first looked as SS's on the lot, I asked the salesman if I could get an RS/SS...He flat out told me "NO, can't get RS. These cars ars SS's!"

As he turned away, I looked at the car we were standing by, SS (red), Rs stuff all over the window sticker.lol...Needless to say, I left immediately.

Luckily I havent had anyone question my SS/RS. Seems most people here know the SS = v8.

more often than not I get jealous friends joking that I got the Super Slow edition slomaro... I always throw them in the back seat and then head to freeway onramps that usually shuts them up pretty good!

Well for the later years of the 3rd gen, the RS could have a V8. Its meant different things at different times. But I get annoyed when people think they know more about my car than me, so id definitely get annoyed if i had an RS and people were being ignorant about it!

If it is a SS/RS then the SS badges are Red inside. Otherwise thee SS is White.
Only V-6 Camaros will sport the RS Badges. The RS is red dating back to the first gen camaros. This is why if you buy a SS/RS that the badges are red to identify them on the road.
