1996 Camaro 3800 v6, no badges, no GFX, how do i tell if it's an RS, whats the RPO code ?

 

The RPO used to be Y86, don't know what it is now. They usually have an RS badge on it.

It's not an RS. The 3800 V6 was available as an option on regular production V6 camaros beginning in 1996. It was standard on the RS camaros, all of which is pretty much a handling/appearance package only. Some of these are pretty quick though, hell, they put out 200 horse stock, which isn't bad for a lil' ol' V6. No, it's not the same 3800 V6 as the Grand National/TTA's, and no, you can't add the GN or TTA turbo/intercooler to these, but you can strap an ATI or Vortech blower to them. Not a bad car, but it's not an RS.

I didn't think they called it RS once the 4th gen came around.
I thought there was Camaro, and Camaro Z28 or SS.

I think that's how it is.. I'm a thirdgen guy anyway.
RS would have GFX, RS badges, upper level wheels, and a 3 piece wraparound spoiler similar to ours on top of the 1 piece spoiler that was on like all the other maros.

 

Thanks guys - It really sucks to find out that my Camaro isn't an RS after all.

 

There definatly was a RS, my grilfriend has a 96RS.
