Could be anything. The B4C package was designed for the Police, it's basicaly a stripped Z28. Has all the go faster goodies with few other options. So one of those would be a V8. But they may also have used V6's for other reasons.

I have seen a B4C with a cd player. Im not sure what options it has and doesnt have but it has no badges I know. I highly doubt there are V6 cop cars that are Camaros.

They're all Z28's. The B4C is a special package only on the Z28 that had no emblems, and heavy duty cooling and suspension package. I can't remember the other specs on it right now.

My 1998 camaro is a former oklahoma highway patrol car.
It's legally a z28 (for insurance, etc.).
My brother bought it back in 2001? with over 100,000 miles on it.
I think he paid around 9,000 for it back then.
Now I have it, and it has over 180,000 miles, still going strong.
As far as I know it's identical to any other z28, except no z28 badges - it's a sleeper ;-)

Thats wrong.

B4Cs are LS1 cars that ARE NOT Z28s. B4Cs have body color tops and there is no t top option. Other than that you could option it any way you wanted (6 speed, leather, Monsoon, traction control) most B4Cs were "no option cars" which is diffrent than "strippers." B4Cs usualy were cloth interior, tape deck, foam (not leather wrapped) steering wheel, bare rubber shifter (autos), and had rear defroster, fog lights and block heater. All auto B4Cs came with 3.23s and aluminum driveshafts. (2.73 Z28s didnt have aluminum drive shafts but all 3.23 cars did). There are no Z28 badges (because its not a Z28).

now some police departments ordered their cars diffrently, some came ordered them with traction control, but usualy if a car has options (M6, leather etc) it was never a police car. Some police departments (we have a V6 that Indiana State Police used as a motor pool car) used V6 cars, but they arent anything special, they are just regular V6 Camaros. Other police departments even use Z28s, but B4Cs are what I said above.

In 2002 they opened up B4C orders so anyone could order one, not just cops. Most of the ZL1's built were from B4C cars.

actualy only dealers who had fleet order capablity could order a B4C, they were able to be bought by those dealers only, and if you could talk one into ordering you a B4C they would. they could be ordered 98-02, but it wasnt untill later that it really got out that you could order one. B4Cs arent anything special though, just painted hard tops and no Z28 emblems, and in the rpo codes it says B4C and dosent say Z28

i belive all ZL1 cars and all the Berger and other GMMG cars were B4Cs

Sort of related. A few years a go CHP (California Highway Patrol) orded a ton of SS Camaro's. Like stated above the Department gets to choose what they want.

To date, no Dale Earnhardt Intimidators, Tom Henrys or 02 Performance Edition SS cars are know to exist with RPO B4C. Its possible that some may surface in the future. About half of the 02 "Hot Rod" edition Camaros are B4C.

Its well known that most, if not all 02 ZL1s were equipped with B4C.

The year was 2002 and the number was about 150. See them frequently on Highway 101.

Several states bought B4C Camaros over the years. Most went to the respective state Highway Patrol departments. Often, they were called 'Police Pursuit Vehicles'.

The RPO was first offered in 1991 on iron motor LT1s. It was availabe to anyone that wanted it with the help of a knowlegable GM dealer.

(but usualy if a car has options (M6, leather etc) it was never a police car.)

I would stress USUALLY. My car IS a 6 speed B4C. I have all legal papers to prove it. I got everything from the police department that bought it brand new. B4C camaros are hard to explain, you have to go out and research credible sources to find out accurate info about them. Im not saying that anyone here is not credible, its just hard to get all of the facts right.
