Performance cars of the 90’s continued to gain horsepower, and the top speeds exceeded what a Chevrolet Caprice Police cruiser was capable of. Police departments sought a vehicle that was safer at higher speeds and would make speeders think twice. Enter the B4C, which was a variant of the Fourth Generation Camaro. Although the same RPO code was used as the previous generation, this Special Service Package (SSP) was a cut above. While early versions utilized the LT-1 V8, 1998 and later versions utilized the LS-1. Both transmissions were avaible including the TKO 6 Speed manual and the 4L60E 4 speed automatic. Cloth seats were most, an common, and some departments removed the passenger seat so extra computer equipment could be utilized. The 5.7L LT-1 V8 motor used in the 4th Gen Z28 was the engine first featured in the B4C before the use of the LS-1 V8. These models were purposely stripped-down air-conditioned hardtops, they also had heavy duty batteries and alternators installed. The B4C had many 1LE high performance handling components, a limited slip differential, 4-wheel disc brakes, a transmission oil cooler (on automatics), engine oil cooler, and initailly a 150mph speedometer. The 2000-2002 models were only available with an automatic transmission.
