Re: r/s or z28
It depends on the year. Initially Z-28s had 302s for SCCA T/A homologation. In 1970 they got 350s. Later Z-28s could have low performance 305s or 350s. None of the 1980s Z-28s performed well, even with the TPI 350. But, of-course, in 1993 they got the LT1 350 and performance was back.
The R/S package was not an engine option package. |

Re: r/s or z28
Agreed. The R/S was always an appearance package. True, from 1967-1969, a RS could have a bigger engine than a Z28, but from 1970 on, the Z28 always had the same or bigger engine than a RS.

Z28 has bigger motor
the z28 has a 350 in it stock, while the rs has a 305 or smaller motor in it...the rs is for the looks of the body kit and rims

1g1yy
Hey 1g1yy...My information is 100% correct considering I drive a 92 Camaro Rally Sport(305)...one of the members of Carolina Muscle Drives a 92 Camaro Z28(350), and another one drives 02 Camaro Z28 (LS1-350), and one drives a 82 Camaro Z28(350)...go to your local parts store or library, pick up a book about cars and learn something... mad yet?

Re: r/s or z28
Hey CMsecretary, your info is not 100% correct -- you are the one who needs to read up on cars. Sometimes a bit of personal experience does not give you COMPLETE knowledge about a subject! I had a couple of eighties Z-28s and guess what? Both had 305s in them stock!! Oh, and you can start your studying-up right here on this forum by reading the section on Z-28s. Most later eighties Z-28s came with 305s not 350s! I know this because when I went to look for my third one I had to look at a lot of cars before I found what I wanted -- and even then it was not a Z-28, but an '88 T/A GTA with the TPI 350. T/As also mostly came with 305s.
Again, if you want to add something make sure it is correct info. It is not foolish to not know something -- but it is foolish to think you know it all when it is obvious you don't! |

Re: r/s or z28
Camaro R/S means "Camaro Really Slow" and Z28 is the performance Camaro, 28 is the top speed.
If you have a '67 'Cuda you shouldn't be worrying about these cars. The only thing I worry about is if the guy in the next car is gonna blow his motor up and a piston comes through that rusty Fisher body and spoils my car...

Hey, Bleeddodge, a '67 Cuda is neither a pony car nor a muscle car. It is simply a sporty 60s economy car. It is one of the cars we used to laugh at in the sixties because some guys would "rice" them out and think they had something!! Usually they would jack the rear up and put glass packs on.

The Mustang was the first pony car -- why do you think they call them "pony" cars? Mustang -- pony Get it?
As for being on your shi. list, well my post wasn't even aimed at you -- I was razzing BleedDodge because of his post! Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you -- I meant to offend BleedDodge. As for me liking rice -- only Uncle Bens! |
