i have a 2002 b4c camaro from the Flordia Highway patrol. I no the b4c camaro is is almost the same as z28, but i was wonder what excactly is the diffrence between the z28 and the b4c...thank you

 

I bought a FHP B4C in January and have done a lot of research on how the 2002 B4C compares to the 2002 Z28 (other years may be different). As best I can determine so far they are the same except for the ticket light in the B4C. One post said the B4C had a more powerful alternator but that may not have been true for 2002. Mine has RPO K43 GENERATOR 102 AMP; I don't know what is standard on the Z28. The "Camaro White Book" says the 2002 has 1LE rear (lower) control arms but other posters have said this is not correct. Of course the 2002 B4C is a hardtop and has a GU5 3.23 rear end.

It would be nice if someone could verify what differences, if any, there actually are between the 2002 B4C and Z28.

My daytime running lights are disabled and yours are probably the same.

Surely somebody knows what the standard alternator is on a 2002 Z28.

 

102 amp...

 

I'm not sure, but I think 97 B4C's were the last to have the 140A alternator. It was a lot easier to replace than the LS1's too! (But that's about the only easy thing on the LT1!)

 

Thanks for the confirmation. It seems, then, that the 2002 B4C is identical to the 2002 Z28 except for the ticket light and the lack of badges (and possibly the lower control arms if the White Book is accurate).

 

i think there the same but my car runs strong as hell my 98 a4 runs down my buddys o2 ss a4

 

So, let's start a rumor that all B4Cs are faster than SSs because the B4Cs got used to running fast catching speeding Mustangs.

 

yesterday i was looking under my hood and my number 8 spark plug wire was barely in the coil no where near snapped in and i went 13.50 1st pass ever after i plugged the wire in my coil the car feels much faster with 140k miles

 

No his point is that a 98 is quicker than a 02 which is just not true. There's no difference in the motors of same year LS1 powered SSs', Z28s, B4Cs, Trans Ams and Firehawks. There was something wrong with the 02.

 

yeah right something wrong with his car i doubt it with 13,000 miles i only pull like a car on him my car is very capable of low 13 sec passes nothing wrong with his car or mine dont get hurt i didnt say im faster then all of the 02's *** no im not saying i have a freak just a well taken care of 98 ls1.
