He did turn the flashers on for us but (obviously) they don't show well in a still shot...



There is no "technicality" (as you put it) about the car in the pictures. It is not a B4C.

I question if the car was "provided" to "them" since I don't know who "them" is, so I can perhaps find out some background on the car.

There have been plenty of instances where certain new vehicles have been provided to a law enforcement agency for either evaluations or as part of an accelerated shakedown of a car's durability. However, these cars are given to agencies famous for high demands on their cars in extreme conditions, mainly California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. If Chevrolet ever decided to bring a B4C back, those are the 4 state agencies to watch who would be the 1st to get cars "provided" to run with and give input.

The California Highway Patrol wound up with a couple of Volvos about 10 years ago, and when the Thunderbird Supercoupe came out back in 1989, the Arizona State Police and the Texas Public Safety Department scored at least 1 Thunderbird each from Ford.

But back on subject, there isn't a B4C program that I'm currently aware of. Even if there was, until one winds up in the hands of one of the mentioned state highway enforcement agencies, it's not close to reality.

But then again, like I mentioned before, it's not as if you can walk into your Chevy showroom and order one.

I would agree, this car is not a "B4C".
My point was not to imply it was or wasn't a true "B4C" but moreso that I am not aware if this specific car had the modifications to it that a typical B4C would have gotten.

My mistake for posting this non-B4C car, ...besides it's too late for a 2010 B4C

I'd imagine that the small trunk opening would be a problem on a B4C Camaro.

That, Charlie, I think would blow the 5th gen out of consideration.

In the SS Mustangs I had, the CHP would store safety equptment in the trunk. Also stored back there are any additional weapons, or supplies. Things that need to be quiclky accessed.

While the Challenger has a large easily accessable trunk, and the Mustang's trunk opening is like popping open both the side and the top of the trunk at once, the Camaro's trunk opening is very small, and not designed where you could get something out quickly in a matter that might be life and death.

The only alternative I could think of would be to pull the back seat out and mount equptment back there, but it would be far easier to simply get a Challenger or Mustang if a department was going to use the car for actual law enforcement (as opposed to community relations or recruting) work.
