RS - V6 3.8l 200 hp w/ ground effects (body kit)
SS - V8 350 chevy small block 325*-HP (not sure hp) 350cc engine.

Huge difference. Others around here will fill you in on the details.

The SS is not a 350. 346ci LS1 GM gen III smallblock.

On average, the SS is 2.5-3 seconds faster in the 1/4.

Some of those facts are a touch off. Close though.

Most decent drivers can get an LS1 car down the track somewhere in the low 13's. There have been stock cars to break the 12's.
The 0-60 is close. From everything I have read and by driving my own, it is VERY close to a dead even 5 seconds. The calculations on this are difficult. And vary from car to car.
Axle ratio......3.42 is for the M6 cars. M6 = 6 speed. Auto's are either 2.73 or 3.23.
My redline is 6,000.

i think 350 cubic centimeters is an understatement, dont you mean 350 cubic inches.

LT1 SS is 305 hp
LS1 SS is 325 hp

if you have the choice between an rs and an ss, the ss is definitely the right choice.

Unless you're interested in being one of the few who does what othes say cannot be done... (Run one of them stock LS1s against my friend James's 97 firebird v6, you'll be vey surprised)
