RS = "RennSport" in German = Race Sport (loose translation - better than the literal "Run Sport")

haha i dont know how many times i have asked a question to a car sales man whether im buying a car for me or one of my parents or friends are buying one i always ahve more than 3 tehy dont know and that per car. I love when teh fight with me and my dad says its sad he knows more than u about what u sell. Get me a better salesman. Haha i laugh.
i had a sales manager, the manager, at the audi dealership in milwaukee try and tell me that the 2000 a6 2.7t had a 300hp engine, if he was wrong he knocked an additional 100 off the asking price. Needless to say, i came up 100 bucks outta the deal

The RS for a Camaro stands for Rally Sport, just wondering, has anyone ever seen a Camaro rally?

ral·ly
To rouse or revive from inactivity

Chevy has been using Rally Sport since the 60's, and not meaning the same definition as the Rally Races you may picture
