B4C Camaro's
Do the B4C Camaro's come tuned or with any other modifications? One of my brother's friends just got one, and he put a Borla on it but thats all he's done to it so far...I ran with him just through a couple gears yesterday, and I pulled about half a car on him right away, but he hung with me better than I thought he would for a stock auto. Granted I'm almost stock, but I have a cutout and a tune.

You're pretty much stock, and him keeping up with you shouldn't come as much of a surprise. They are nothing special, i believe they have tranny coolers so they run longer. Not sure what else, i would assume an upgraded suspension package?

B4C.....they were built before Christ. they are totally immortal and only the car Gods can properly judge the B4C cars, therefore none of us have any right to shed light upon the specifics of the almighty B4C Chevrolet Camaro.

Lol. I didn't think they were amazing god-like cars ever. I was just curious about anything different being done to them. haha...I guess I should have picked up on the sarcism there, you were laying it on pretty thick.

WhiteKnight is pretty much right. PS cooler, high output Alternator, GU5 rear axle (for A4's, which were 90+% of B4C's), body color roof and mirrors.
They were NOT strippers and they did not (at least mine did not) come with a tranny cooler. All suspension parts seem to be OEM Z28 stuff, nothing special.
Mine came with an engine block heater... because it was a Colorado Hwy Patrol Interceptor and up in the mountains during the winter they would plug those bitches in overnight.
OK, I'm done fighting the ignorance that will not die.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that they were "stripped" down versions of Z28s, they were for all purposes 1LE's except only offered to government a special service or fleet vehicles and could have been equiped with larger sway bars, and were equiped with 1LE rear control arms, power stearing cooler and body colored roofs. The Z28 badges and fog lights were deleted (until 98 i presume). Everything else was optional. Both of my B4C's don't have that retched key release button in the ignition and don't have cruz control they both have tranny coolers and the 94 has an oil cooler. the 6-spd was optional as well

Most departments wouldn't go for anything "special" in the way of tuning or tolerate or even want a high maintenance car. They want something that gets the job done and safely. It's a depreciating asset too. If you read some of the excellent books that are available on police cars, you'll find that departments prefer reliability and want OEM supplier parts.
Most of your "interceptor" packages even back in the 60's would only have a single 4bbl carb over the multi-carb systems that were options at that period in history because of the maintenance and budget constraints.
Hope I helped.
