I've wanted the red drawing exactly as shown, but in black ever since I saw it in Popular Hot Rodding Mag (over the summer?) and I want it to be called an RS/SS.

According to Hot Rod Mag's Camaro options the RS package will not be available on the Z28 sorry guys (Yes I realize Hot Rod is only guessing and has no idea what they're talking about...)

 

I agree. I'd like the red one as presented (if they can't cover the headlights that won't bother me, but I do like the look of it in the pic) right down to the wheels.

Only Silver or White for me please.

 

I'm wondering, since the avalability of an RS package is pretty much a given, what about a V6 performance package? Can the two co-exist?

 

Another reason why the friggin DOT needs to be abolished. If I want to throw my tax money in a garbage can, I don`t need them to do it for me!

Ok so I am venting a little...

Seriously though, I know this is true. I used to have the GTS covers over my 94 Z28`s headlights, and I know I could have been pulled over, even though they were completely clear!!!! A freind of mine actually got pulled over twice for having them, and once the officer stood over his shoulder while he was taking them off!
Can someone tell me why this law is even in effect/enforced? I can understand having standards on this, but how much harm would having blockage like what you see in the photochops be?

If I had my way, I would buy a fully optioned Z/28 RS.

 

I would love to see an RS package on the new Camaro.

 

I would love for my Camaro to be an AFM variant LS3 6 speed with an RS appearance package. That would just make my day.

 

Indeed on the first gens. RS was an appearence only package, foldaway headlights, different tail lights with backup light moved below the back bumper, special chrome trim below the doors, RS steering wheel, RS emblems, etc., it had nothing to do with drivetrain/suspension. When I bought a RS in 1967 it was a 327cid 2v with a three speed manual. When I bought my '69 Z/28 it did not have the RS package on it, though ones that did certainly looked a little better to me. I'll take my '09/'10 Z/28 with or without an RS package, I'm far more concerned about overall performance/hp/suspension to be concerned with whether or not it has RS available.

I've spend a few k so far converting my 68 to have all of the RS equipment. My answer is yes

 

It depends A LOT on how it looks. If it's a good looking package, I'll buy it as long as it's not crazy expensive.

 

[QUOTE=guionM;4060174]How about this Saleen? I just saw one the other day at a car show

 

Ok so covering the headlights might not be allowed so someone(who is better than I) photoshop some "Hide away" running lights, ok looking at the concept that might not work unless thee bottom grill is wider.

Anyway I'd spend the money on it as long as it looked good.
ID also like to see it include more of the comfort and styling options rolled into one package, keeping the Z28 and or SS packages to include only performance packages/options.

 

[QUOTE=1997FormulaBird;4804201]To answer your question, no that is not a Boss. Ford wouldnt allow it. It is a Saleen "Parnelli Jones" edition. PJ is on the steering wheel. That is why you see it has 302 above the strip rather than Boss. It is modeled after the Boss very closely and essentially it kinda is a boss. Having said that its real name is Parnelli Jones after the race car driver of the 70's Boss as Ford owns the Boss name.

 

I would love to see hideaways....
How are hideaway headlights (doors) any different than pop-up (as far as the laws are concerned)?

 

Well, pop-ups like on older Vettes would cause more serious injuries if you happened to accidentally hit someone. It's a public health issue. Instead of getting splattered ont he hood, you get your skull or leg cracked by a headlight thta doesn't necesarily have ot be up at all.

Hide-aways, though, I've never seen a video of them in operation to say if I like them or not. I can't see what the hustle about it is though, besides from the retro-1st gen crowd.

An RS package, of course there will be one. Look at the Cobalt. Look at any car. They all have appearance packages nowadays. You just might have to buy some extra to get it.

 

Argh! Z/28 stripes on an SS? Somebody shoot me.
Purists are sensitive on the order... RS or Rally Sport was an appearance package added to the base, SS or Z/28 Camaros.

It's SS-RS, or Z/28-RS, or just plain RS. (I used to get it wrong myself for years until I was corrected. )

I'd have to see what the package includes and what it looks like on the car before I can decide if I like it or not.
