Default Re: SS/RS or RS/SS ????

I always believed it was SS/RS. SS was more of a model, the RS more of a trim package. Plus, nomenclature shows SS supercedes RS.

SS took precedence in the badging (I.E. fenders/steering wheel). I'd say SS/RS.

I think RS/SS sounds much more appealing. Besides, its alphabetical order.

I look at this way. When we say the name(s), we say
Rally SS or Rally Z/28, not SS Rally or Z/28 rally.

RS/SS & R/Z-28 seem to flow better.

That's my thinking as well. Since they are all RPO's it doesn't really matter.

That is the conventional wisdom regarding why the SS or Z28 should come first.
