V6 to Y87
Correct me if I am wrong but the only thing the Y87 package (a.k.a. RS package) has that would improve 1/4 mile times is 3.42 gears. In this case the 1/4 miles wouldn't be very different and should dyno the same.
In 97 that was the last year that it was offered as an option. But I belive it was 00 and on that the RS was offered again, as an option. I'm not mistaken the Y-87 package was standard and SLP put togeather the RS package as an option.

Nooo...I did those myself...my car was just a regular Camaro Convertible before I started modding it. But say I get 3.42 gears, then would it be "acceptable" to put RS badges on the car since its basically and RS. I'm not saying i'm going to do that I just curious about other peoples opinion.
From 98 up the RS package in the previous cars was named "The Sport Appearence package" and was optional. This was so they could offer the sport appearence package on the Z28. The Y87 package is the "V6 performance package" and features in A4 cars a 3.42 POSI rear, sport steering gear, and dual exhaust. Generally dealers ordered both options togethor...hence the confusion.
The Camaro RS that was made by SLP had a few performance tweaks to get it to 220HP, stripes, and no ground effcts. They are pretty rare.

I believe this has already been identified but Chevrolet did not offer the y87 and RS packages together. It was either one or the other, and it was SLP that put the RS package together. Previous notes indicate what came with the RS package.
The 00 RS came with the 97SS wheels, stripes, RS grill, and a dual exhaust outlet with the Z tips.
Just my $0.02
