It seemed GM was mainly using the broadcast to plug other vehicles coming out. Just taking advantage of the high volume of interest in the Camaro. Could not even see any detail in the interior for the 20 seconds the camera kind of pointed into it.

Edmunds is saying that the RS package will be available on the SS.
So will the V6 RS camaros look like the SS/RS camaros?

The RS is available on both the V6 AND V8. It comes with HID headlights, 20in wheels, spoiler, slightly different tail lights.

As of now the SS is the only V8 model, but has two V8's. The LS3 (422hp) for the M6, and the L99 (400hp) for the A6.

No SS photos, and still no damn pricing!

I'll tell you though, the LT with the RS package and 300 horsepower V6/M6 would make a nice DD.

RS Appearance Package available on LT and SS, with HID headlamps with integrated halo ring feature, spoiler, specific taillamps and 20-inch wheels2

So far it appears that the reveal and these threads are a waste of bandwidth in regards to what was already leaked Friday.

Might as well lock them down.

Wonder what Ford is going to show at the L.A. auto show regarding the Mustang . . .
