And to think ZL1 was a great 427 at 1 time.

Interesting 2004GTO tidbits, but overall, highly useless list; nothing I haven't seen before.

Wow, you act all cool and such.
There is many things on that list you have not seen before, so stop being an arogent *****.

Long story short: you cannot generalize RPO's. The same exact RPO can mean two completely different things for two different years and models, etc.

Y84 is a good example: Y84 has meant at least FOUR different things that I'm aware of, depending on which year Firebird it was used on. And that's only for Firebirds; I'm sure other car lines have their own Y84 from time to time.

LQ9 is a good example of an engine code; used to be an Iron Duke variant, now it's a big honkin truck V8.

There has never been a complete and accurate RPO list. Ever. That PDF file is certainly not complete or accurate, by a long shot.

Don't be such a tool.

From looking at that list, I get the feeling that they recycle certain RPO's when they need to.

As for it being complete, I am sure it was whenever it was put together. Also, all the RPO codes are for PRODUCTION vehicles, any old ones that are there is just water under the bridge. Only current or future codes would seem to matter to GM anyways.

eh? For a "master list", it sure is a pretty pathetic master list; missing many times more than it contains.

Bonneville engines? 4.2L DOHC supercharged?


Sounds like the Supercharged Northstar they were using in the Evoq

RPOs get superseded. This is why we see the new, wrong ZL1 and not the original Camaro ZL1. Same with LS6 -- do you see the Chevelle engine option LS6 there, or the Corvette engine option?

Same goes for the LM1. It was initially the 350 V8 used from 1977-1982 in everything from Camaros and Impalas to certain Pontiacs, Buicks & Oldsmobiles.
