Yep, the RS doesn't have the (I'm going to eat your lunch) look for the SS - but it shouldn't anyway - has to be some differentiation. Must of it seemed to be in the stance - then there is the tale tell front scoop over the nose on the SS that tells you it means business. The wheels make a difference too.
Both of them sit too high for my taste, and I'm sure we'll see them slammed soon enough. The wheels wells are HUGE - and make the 21" optional rims almost look like they aren't enough - but lowering it will solve that visual aspect.
The back seat is only usable if the driver is under 5'6" or so - but that is the same for the Mustang...and prior Camaro.
Right now I see them going over sticker on e-bay - so as long as that love fest is going on...I can't even consider it.
HOWEVER, I'd love to pick one up (burgundy) and paint the same stripes on the hood and trunk as my 69 - and have a "matching" pair so the wife has a reliable cool vehicle. Right now she drives our 07 Silverado - so the gas mileage bill wouldn't be any worse - just more smiles for the miles in a SS.
