I'd love to see a series of Chevy commericals based from the old Camaro and Vette adds but have a twist to them how the Cobalt and Corvette commericals were when the Cobalt first came out. Have the Cobalt SS, Camaro SS, and Corvette all in the commerical showing off trying to outdo each other.
Also if we wanted to get into the Z designation you could take the Z28, Z06 and a 350hp turbo AWD Cobalt Z24 and put them in a commercial bragging about the Z cars saying they are inspired by the track but made to tame the streets The ultimate in Chevy Preformance just look for a Z car.
But in my opinion the Z28 should be in line with the Z06, just anything less wouldn't make as much sense since there is no SS corvette......and SS is mainstream preformance whereas a Z06 is extreme preformance.
If the RS designation was to come back I'd be willing to bet it would most likley involve a hi-po V6 with over 300hp to offer a V6 with an V8 attitude.

RS can now be more. RS can give the V6 car different style AND performance over regular V6's. I would bet that just having that option, that the majority of V6 Camaro's will opt for the RS package.

LTZ - Performance V6 w/ Deluxe interior options, wheels and trim
SS - Perfomance V8 w/ additional trim levels
Z28 - Ultra Z06-like performance w/ additional trim levels

There isn't much confusion. Probably most people associate RS with the option package on the 3rd gen than some random trim you could get on any 1st gen. RS as a performance package for the V6 is probably the best bet anyway. Also there is no reason to make a Camaro LTZ, or an LT. The Camaro shouldn't have the same generic trim levels as an Aveo, Malibu, or Impala.

Or spoilers and ground effects on some 3rd and 4th gens.

They kind of went out of style in the 1980's... along with mullet hair and t-tops.

... my car got the "Sports Appearance Package", that is the same body kit as the RS. Maybe it's not for everybody, but I like it 
. Since no Chevy dealer ever kept much of a stock of Camaros sitting on their lots, it was hard enough to find one around. When I stumbled across my car at the dealership, and it was sitting there, in nice shiny black, fully loaded with the leather, T-tops, and the ground effects ..... my jaw pretty much hit the floor, and I had to have it! (automatic tranny and all!!! ..... though I've "fixed" that since)
Just to spite you, I can't wait 'til GM slaps some GFX onto the 5th-gen!!!!
