I believe they had thicker sway bars and possibly lower gears, and if thats so they would have lower mpg.

No difference...ALL RS models had the same V6 unless it was a government service car (RPO B4C car). Otherwise known as a Police car.

Alright, this is lifted from camarosource.ca, but it explains pretty good.

The 2002 Camaro RS package offered by SLP could be added to V6-powered Camaro's for $849. It was available for cars finished in Artic White, Light Pewter Metallic, Silver Metallic. Navy Blue Metallic, Onyx Black, Monterey Maroon Metallic, Sunset Orange Metallic, Mystic Teal Metallic and Bright Rally Red. The RS content included a front grille with the Chevrolet bow-tie logo, an interior plaque with RS badge, 3 exterior RS badges, a dual-outlet exhaust system with a high-performance muffler (adds 5-hp and a throaty exhaust sound) and black or silver striping. The black striping was not available for Onyx Black or Navy Blue cars and the silver striping

The 02 was a special RS package from SLP, it was basicly a marketing thing, GM has alway concidered the RS package a Cosmedic package. Sometimes I have seen it confused with the Y87 package. Y87 is the preformance package for the V6.
