Default RS - Z28 - Iroc - Different?

What exactly is the difference in these body styles? i know the RS comes with a V6, and the others have V8s. but what was the RS built for? why is it different?

ok, i know the RS CAN have a V8. (duh, im putting one in :P lol.) but why was it not built with a V8? if it was not built for racing, what was it built FOR? thats how i shoulda phrased my question first. sorry. is it supposed to be the "Luxury" camaro?
