How much horse power does a stock 2001 V6 Camaro have?

 

The 231ci (L36) was 200HP

 

yep...200hp/225tq

they usually dyno 165-170 rwhp depending on the transmission

 

is it true that the actual "rs" came with a different muffler and was rated at 205?

 

not to steel the tread but then whats the difference between and regular v6 or some with rs tags. i have seen some regular camaro's with rs tags but without ground effects.............

 

ok here's the deal...

RS = Appearance Package (Ground Effects and 3 Piece Rear Spoiler)

3800GT (or Y87) = V6 Performance Package (3.42 Gears, Auburn or Zexel Torsen Limited Slip Differential, Four Wheel Disc Brakes, 14.4:1 Sport Steering Ratio, Dual Outlet Muffler)

If you look on your insurance, it probably says "Camaro RS"...however, if you do not have the GFX and spoiler, you don't have an RS camaro...just some technical thing. Both RS and Y87 and Base Camaros (3.8) all have 200hp/225tq. The dual outlet muffler is basically for looks. However, a Y87 car may run a little bit faster just because of the improved gearing and LSD.

 

My insurance company ran the vin on my car and said I have an RS.I don't have any of that stuff.So I don't know.

 

and i know of an old man who has a 97 with rs tags from the dealer with no ground effects or t tops. and he never tuched the car to make it "custom".

 

ALL V6 camaros (for alot of years) say Camaro RS on the registration...however they DO NOT have the RS package...IDK why GM did it like this, but If your car does not have RS Ground Effects and an RS Spoiler...it is not a true RS

 

what if it is a z28, with a ss hood, and ground effects.and rs tags on the sides, with a single outlet muffler? and y87 package.
