Interesting look to the Vicotria HP cars. They look almost taxi like.
It's interesting how and why they placed their badge logo on the upper rear door over the wheel well opening with part of it cut off. – A little stars and bars at the center!

Agency's here can't be as fancy in their paint schemes for marked patrol cars.

 

I have it on good authority that there was going to be a B4C until Chevy found out that Scott would be the test driver. They dropped the project like a rock!!!

 

Apparently somebody else was listening also...

Would seem so... although that's a Victoria license plate, the logo on the door is LAPD!

 

Sweet.

 

now that's just sad. thank goodness our local government is NOT allowed to buy foreign cars. i think i would have a lapse in judgment and accidentally ram into one of those if i saw it on the road.

......and I know where you live!!!!


The only thing that really needs done, I believe, is to 'repackage' the new Camaro for police Service........

It already has all the HD cooling components and killer brakes...........

 

i would imagine most,if using the camaro as cop cars, would get the v6 version without the rs package. probably have the black 18's on it.

 

Why? 4th gen B4Cs were V8s.

 

Well, 304 HP is more then enough for the needs of the police! Plus, that is the cheapest Camaro to mass order for police departments.

 

well the v6 are almost as powerful as the 4th gen v8, about 10k cheaper.i dont think the options on the ss are practical for the police. most ofthe time they order stripped down cars. i dont know. theres alot of charger cop cars around me, and all of them are se models.

not to mention after they get the cars into their shops ,they re tune the computer and get some serious power out of the motors. v6 or v8

 

Perfectly put!

 

Don't forget that the LS1 was underrated in the 4th-gen F-body. 304 horsepower and 274 pound-feet of torque isn't what I would call "almost as powerful as" 340 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque. If you want to compare the breadth of the powerband, the LS1 compares even more favorably.

Don't get me wrong -- the new V6 is one of the best V6s in the world. Just don't fool yourself by thinking that it's going to offer anything like LS1 performance.

Back to the point, I thought the thread was about whether there would be a B4C (a separate model), not whether cops would order what we currently call an SS. B4C would most likely be a separate, V8-equipped, no-frills model specifically created for police. That's what it was for the 4th gen.

I'm sure there are several other people here who would happily buy such a car.

Scott is the reason I got into B4C cars! I had the pleasure (thrill) of getting a ride with him at the 2001 Camaro SS press preview at the Silverdome in Pontiac. I had a 99 SS at the time and an SLP friend got me an invite.

At the Silverdome, Scott gave me a ride in his B4C demo that was a real thrill. We did a 180 degree U turn at 50 MPH. I may have stained the seat! Scott is quite the driver.

I had been watching the B4C scene, but that ride convinced me to get one. I bought a Florida Highway Patrol used unit in 2005 and sold it last year. Great car!

I now have a red, 12,000 mile 2002, six speed, factory chrome wheels and Hurst shifter B4C car that may be a 1 of 1. There were 18 six speed red B4C cars built that year - I have been able to locate 12 of the 18, currently none equipped like mine. Hope to find the other six. See pics in my signature below.
