The whole concept behind the Pony Cars from Detroit was that they could be optioned across a wide spread of price and performance.
By the third generation of Chevrolet's Camaro, they no longer shared much in the way of mechanicals with any sedans, rear-wheel drive cars being seen as atavistic throwbacks by then, and the number of trim levels had dwindled, but they still could be had in flavors from mild to wild.
While the sportier Z28 got all the ink, the base RS version was the bread and butter of the lineup.
For '91 the Camaro got a light styling refresh, despite its successor already waiting in the wings. The RS got new ground effects and standard 15" alloy rims from the now-extinct IROC-Z.
Base motor was the port fuel injected corporate 3.1L pushrod V-6 making 140 SAE net horsepower, and it could be backed with a standard 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed slushbox.
This Arctic White example is pretty well optioned. It has t-tops and the red cloth buckets with height-adjustable headrests were an extra cost option. Moreover, those five-spoke 16" alloy wheels were only available with the optional LO3 throttle-body injected 5.0L V-8, rated at 170 horsepower.
This one was photographed in September of 2021 using a Nikon D7000 and a 16-80mm f/2.8-4E zoom lens.
