Re: what is the Y87 performance package?

in 1996 the Y87 package was:

four-wheel disk brake, limited slip rear axle, quicker steering ratio (14.4:1) and dual muffler outlets!
Retail: 400$ in 1996 (L36 only)

hope this helps

alright i guess i didnt get that then because i bought it with single outlet exhaust and it has drum brakes, so what makes my car so different that makes it an "RS"!?

okay, the RS (Rally Sport Coupe or Convertible) was a new model in 96 with front and rear facias, ground-effects side molding and a unique three-piece rear spoiler!

Somebody could've taken off the ground FX......either that, or it's just another regular V6. Does it have RS badges on it?

....then I think, you have "only" a base coupe L36 and no RS.......
btw: there is no RPO Code for "RS" in my white book, so the dealer can tell you everything......

but the body side moldings have an RPO Code: B84 (if they are taken off...)

Re: what is the Y87 performance package?

Both the Carfax report and insurance say "Camaro/RS" (or something along those lines) for my sport coupe. That just means it's not a Z28.



"RS" was an appearance package, and (as far as I'm aware) doesn't make a difference to insurance companies.
