SS/RS or RS/SS ????

Here goes the stupid question of the day. I am Just trying to clear something up between a few friends once and for all.
What is the correct terminology for a Super Sport with the Rally Sport option? I hear people calling them RS/SS and SS/RS. I know a Z28 w/ Rally Sport Option is a RS/Z28 so I'm assuming a Super Sport with the Rally Sport option is an RS/SS.

The one I did up ten years ago and kept for about three years was always referred to by me as "RS/SS".

Of course, as you know, we Canucks always say or pronounce things a little different

I agree with you Don. RS/SS

Technically the SS option should proseed the RS option. So SS/RS is technically correct, but I like RS/SS.

I've always referred to them as a Z/28 w/RS option,and SS/RS.

I've always thought of it in a decending order of importance. .

The SS or Z-28 options are first being an 'absolute necessity' and the RS is really an 'un-necessary' glitz option....so SS/RS & Z-28/RS! .
Tomato..tomatto, potato..potatto....as long as the SS is there, call it what you like and

I vote RS/SS simply because of how Chevrolet marketed the "SS" Camaro in '67. My '67 RS/SS was badged "SS350" on the grill and horn cover so it would make more sense to say RS/SS350 than SS350/RS.

I always believed it was SS/RS. SS was more of a model, the RS more of a trim package. Plus, nomenclature shows SS supercedes RS.

SS took precedence in the badging (I.E. fenders/steering wheel). I'd say SS/RS.
