Must be a B4C police package or non stock engine. GM gave the B4C RS' the L98 to give the cops an insurance break or something like that.

Get the VIN and run it through the decoder. Even better, try and find the RPO sheet.

Was it a dealer or a private seller?

If memory serves me right, the rally sports only came with 305's. The only 350's were in the z28's with the AT transmission in the years 90-92? Not postive ...

RS's could have a V6 or 305, unless ya got a B4C packaged RS - then you got L98 power

I got the '91 RS, and found out a lot about "after" I bought it. Too bad... It's not a bad ride, but I should have got a Z. When I got it I though the RS was sorta like the SS. Shortly after I bought it I found out the reality of it. B4C is the only one that you can get the 350 in. All others in '91 are 305 TBI (LO3) or V6. Check and see if it's TBI or TPI. The 350 should have TPI no question. Remember, some of the ppl selling don't know much about there car. I've seen ppl selling a car as a 350 with 305HP. Sure that's what a '98 maro has, but not a '91. You gotta watch for that. Are you pos. it is a 350? or did they just tell you it is? They look almost the same... well 305-350 TPI.

Yeah its is a 350 TPI, I am happy with what they are willing to give me for my car.. but I Have decided that A camaro just does not cut it... Sorry Camaro people If I going to trade I think it has to be a Trans Am or GTA.

I beg to differ. The interior in my '91 RS is the best that Chevy put in any 3rdgen Camaro! I've got leather, factory CD, and all power options. The one you looked at must have been a plain-Jane model.

------------------
'91 Camaro RS - dark red metallic - '91-'92 Z28 wheels - leather - all power options (except power seat) - t-tops - Clarion head unit - Pioneer 4way 200watt 6x9s - Rockford Fosgate Punch amp and 2 Fosgate 12" subs - Edelbrock open element w/ K&N filter - Random Technology highflow cat - some free mods, more coming soon...

Hey RSFreak, your car is probably just as sweet looking on the inside and out, but the car I looked at just didn't have the same feeling on the inside as my bird does... I guess its preference.

BTW thanx for your reponses everyone, but since I'm not interested in the car anymore ... topic can be locked

Actually, right now the inside looks much nicer than the outside! Since I got the Pull-A-Part fender of it, it needs paint badly!

Well, if it wasn't for the leather, it would look like your basic well optioned Camaro interior. This is the first one I've had with a grey interior. Its very light which makes it hard to keep clean. My other 3rdgens had black or dark blue interiors.
