Comparing an Eight Cylinder Camaro and a Six Cylinder Camaro

The purpose of this report is to compare the six-cylinder Camaro (RS), to the eight-cylinder Camaro (Z/28) to see which one is most suitable.

The specific areas I studied, based on primary and secondary sources are Performance, Gas Mileage and Price of each automobile.

The Z/28 and the R/S are simply two models of a Chevrolet sport-car based on options. The Camaro has become a legend dominating the market for more than three decades. Each model adds excitement and fun to driving along with a durable and comfortable ride. Whether the buyer is looking for the power or the style of the Camaro, they will be sure to turn heads.

Either car is a buyers deal, but one through my experiences is superior over the other. Through personal observations of each model, test driving the cars, I have concluded that the Z/28 is most suitable.

The power of the 305 horsepower V8 LT1 engine was the deciding factor which model, I believe was the better of the two models. The decision of which model whether, the Z/28 or the R/S was determined by the options the Z/28 has to offer.
