This is from what I know.

These 3 letter/number variations are pretty much abbreviations for the options you have.

There are some sites out there that you can type in your RPO codes and get a description of what it is.

The RPO codes can be found in some places in the car.It is a paper with a many RPO Codes.

Mine is in the rear locking compartment.(in the hatch)

Some people i believe have them between one of the doors or in the console compartment.

I have just looked up some of mine on

http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/rpo/rpo.html - You can just click Edit>Find on this Page on Internet Explorer and just type them in.

ANother site is Camarosource.ca
He has a decoder but i think the page is down.

I Think its interesting , seeing all of the options your car had/has.

This site is a fantastic resource.. There's more to it than just a bulletin board

Here's a link to the technical data on every year of 3rd gen Camaro and Firebird.. Body styles.. engines etc..
