darn, I changed channels a minute too soon! I hope they have one at the Super Bowl this year too. That'll get a much bigger audience watching than this past World Series.

thats because that car isnt supposed to be like that. the poduction model cars in a v6 rs have a red RS badge, the v8 rs has a red SS badge. i know the red rs is a v6 body but a v8 motor. that is because they changed it after they decided to show the v6 as the main vehicle first.

Not trying to get into a pissing match my friend; agreed- we both know better. It was your post that said "if you saw an rs badge it was a V6." Maybe I misunderstood- just clarifying it for others...

Well then I wish I was his brother.

Im not a phillys fan, but i believe hes 24, not 21.

But still

However the one given to the baseball player will be this exact car which may be one of a kind as being a V8 LS3 stick with the body of a V6/RS.. GM is not taking the car back and giving a production one later.. I would have rather had them have a raffle at the game and auction off the Camaro than give it to someone who already has many exotic cars.
