can somebody please explain first-gen option packages to me.

I'm talking about like RS/SS, SS/SS, RS/Z28 and whatever other ones there was. I'm kinda confused because I'm used to the new packages were RS is the bottom line and SS is the top of the line. How come you could get two packages in one like RS/SS? Is it like a suspension/engine thing or what?

somebody please help me learn a little more about camaro history.

RS was an appearance package(hideaway headlights)and could be ordered with any engine.
SS was a performance package(295hp 350 base)
Z28 was a performance package(290hp 302)
The performance package was listed last,like
RS/SS or RS/Z28.
