Sorry I know this is a non chevelle question but my son just bought his first new car and it is a 91 RS Camaro.

My son is away at college so my wife took care of the insurance work for it, off of the VIN number.

My insurance agent listed it as a Z-28 because of the VIN number. A Z-28 has a higher premium cost. Is this insurance agent trying to pull something off here? Does the Vin number tell the difference between a RS and a Z-28?

Something is wrong here and I want to know what I am talking about when I call him today, as the car is a RS.

Thanks Bill

Someone at the sister site, Camaros.net (http://www.camaros.net/) would probably know.

Welll the Z28 was the only 1991 Camaro to come with a 350 engine..

Here is a Site (http://www.camaro3rdgen.20m.com/1991.html) to check out.

Check the 8th digit in the VIN, if its an 8 its a 350 Z28 engine.

The 8th digit is the letter E. :confused:

Thanks Bill

E is s 305 (5.0L)

According to info I have, E is the code for a non-Z28 engine. Maybe the agent got the E confused with an 8 and thats the problem or else you did?

My 96 camaro is a regular V6 (non-RS) but the VIN and title reads "Camaro RS" I wonder if i am paying more because of this? :(
