slp did make special versions of the v6, they are extremely rare. however the car in the craigslist ad is not one of them

But what about the 2001 to 2002 Camaro RS? SLP was solely responsible for them. They were quite limited in production, with only 398 being made in 2001 and 443 in 2002. The SLP RS could not be ordered with RPO Y87 (Performance Handling Package and limited slip differential) which was normally an option for V6 Camaros allowing them to have the Z28's improved steering and limited slip differential [need verification of this]. The RS was also not available with the Y3F Sport Appearance Package, so it could not be had with ground effects [need verification of this]. There is an unconfirmed rumor of one 2002 SLP RS having Y3F [need verification of this]. In California and Florida, 5-Speed manual cars were not available [need verification of this].
The 2001-2002 RS package is identified by the RPO code Y3B, started at $849, and consisted of...
- The same dual exhaust and muffler* as what came standard on the Z28; raising horsepower by five to a total of 205 hp.
- No additional engine enhancements despite other sites claiming them.
- Black or silver heritage stripes on the hood, roof, and rear spoiler.
Hardtop cars received roof stripes
T-top cars received T-top stripes
Convertibles received only hood, front bumper, and spoiler stripes
- SLP front grill replacement in gloss black with a red bowtie in the center.
- Three exterior RS badges; one on the rear, one on each side.
- One interior RS badge which was optional to install, (SLP did not install this, they left the plastic "Camaro" one for 2001, and the plastic "35th Anniversary Camaro" one for 2002). It was up to the owner to install this if those chose to do so.
Additional SLP options that could be had with an SLP RS were...
- 16" x 8" ZR-1 style wheels ($699) (silver painted or chrome Z28 wheels were standard on SLP RS--see pictures far down the page)
- "Rally Sport Suspension Package" -- Z28 suspension pieces* ($299) (front and rear stabilizer "sway" bars and end links)
* = These parts were likely parts GM or SLP would remove from Z28s and SSes shipped to SLP for additional SLP content. This has not been verified, but it's likely they made good use of performance parts removed from Z28s and SSes that would have otherwise ended up in a scrap heap.
All SLP RSes would have a sticker similar to this one on their driver's side door, stating most importantly, the month and year your car was modified by SLP.
SLP RSes with additional options did NOT receive RPO code Y2Y, which is a code denoting an SLP options sticker (often referred to as a "2nd options sticker") on the passenger door for SS Camaros. Cars with the optional wheels or suspension did in fact receive a 2nd content sticker, which is located on the passenger door. In typical SLP fashion, the descriptions are very vague. The second sticker was encompassed as just being a part of the Y3B code, and there is not a separate code defining the appearance of this sticker.
The SLP RS package could be applied to ANY V6 Camaro coupe or convertible, but the color of stripe was limited to certain colors.
For 2001, the colors were:
Available with black stripes:
-Bright Rally Red
-Arctic White
-Light Pewter
-Sunset Orange
-Monterey Maroon
-Sebring Silver
-Mystic Teal
Available with silver stripes:
-Bright Rally Red
-Arctic White
-Onyx Black
-Navy Blue
-Monterey Maroon
-Mystic Teal
For 2002, the colors were exactly the same, but Mystic Teal was not available for ANY 2002 Camaro (discontinued):
Available with black stripes:
-Bright Rally Red
-Arctic White
-Light Pewter
-Sunset Orange
-Monterey Maroon
-Sebring Silver
Available with silver stripes:
-Bright Rally Red
-Arctic White
-Onyx Black
-Navy Blue
-Monterey Maroon
All in all, the 2001-2002 RSes are very rare, and may one day be very desirable. They look great, and with the right set of options, would handle the road nearly as nicely as a Z28. They came standard with the same 5-speed manual as the base Camaro, and were available with an automatic 4-speed transmission (same as base model).
Specs:
-231 cubic inch L36 V6 engine (same as base model Camaro)
-205 hp (5 more than base Camaro thanks to Z28 cat-back exhaust)
-225 lb ft of torque
Specs from Car & Driver:
-Zero to 60 in 7.5 seconds
-Zero to 100 in 22.5 seconds
-Street start, 5-60 mph in 7.8 seconds
-Standing 1/4-mile in 15.8 sec @ 86 mph
-Braking, 70-0 mph: 178 ft
-Roadholding, 300-ft-diameter skidpad (without Rally Sport Suspension Package) 0.81 g
-EPA city driving: 19 mpg
-C/D-observed fuel economy: 25 mpg
RPO Codes that identify SLP RS [let me know if you are an owner and have a SLP RS that lacks CAE]:
-CAE - HANDLING CHARGE GM ST THERESE TO SLP LASALLE QUEBEC FOR UPFITTER CONVERSION
-Y3B - SALES PACKAGE CAMARO RS DUAL LABEL
