RS heavier than IROC

Im thinking about buying a third gen, but it is going to be geared towards performance. Im getting a new engine for whatever I get, so I was thinking about getting a v6 RS or something for insurance purposes. Are there any differences between the IROCS and RS's besides the engine. Weight differences??

Don't know for sure but minus the engine/tranny, I'd bet they are virtually identical.
