trooper camaro's are FAST!
This has nothing to do with me in my S2000, but thought it was a unique story anyway. Last night I was out with a friend in his trans-am Ws6 its damn fast. Not to sure of his mod's but I do know he has a stealth air box, and K&N filters a vortech supercharger, chip upgrade, borla exhaust, and some other odds and ends, supposedly putting down somewhere around 400-425whp. Don't hold me to it guys I havent seen dynos or anything. Runs low 12's at the local strip so go figure. Anyway we were out clowning around last night, and on our way home we are going down the Interstate at about 130-140m.h.p. When we noticed some headlights coming up, my friend slowed down a little to about 90m.h.p or so. When the car was close to us he nailed it not sure how fast we were but out of the blue the car behind us grabbed us a pulled up on his bumper like it wasn't nothing. we were awe strucken till the blue lights flashed on immediately followed by the loud speaker screaming pull your vehicle to the side of the road. Here's the sad part of the story we were taken down to the local station were I had my girlfriend pick me up and I ended up with a accessory to speeding ticket (I think it's BS, never even heard of this ticket), but my friend had to call his father to come bale him out. After it was all said and done he received a reckless driving & public endangerment ticket, no seat belt, and a speeding ticket 156 in a 70 zone. His car has been impounded. Not sure what goes on from here, since it just happened last night.

The camaros are usually a stock SS. Sometimes just the Z28 but not too often from what I have seen. So if you slowed down that was the mistake. Remember if a car is trying to catch up with you at any speed over the speed limit it is most likely a cop. Quote" If you see a cop don't stop." Get out of the way and get out of visibility on a side street and shut it down get out of the car before he even gets to you and act like you have been talking for a while. Usually works. As for the accessory ticket. Good thing he didn't put you in for street racing cuz that ticket would be a whole lot worse.

This is from Scott Stottlemeyer who is with F-Body program at GM.
Edit: B4C is Police Interceptor package.
Here is a fast police cruiser...

How does a B4C differ from a Z28?
Since 1998, the only real parts difference, overall is the rear trailing arms.
The packaging is different. From 1998 thru 2000, the B4C came with a Power Steering Cooler, whereas the Z28 offered the cooler as an option....however, the cooler was made standard on all V8s in 2001/ 2002.....
From 1998 thru 2000, the B4C included Eagle RS-A Tires..which meant the car was not speed limited to 110 (or thereabouts) as a standard Z28 with the standard Eagle GA tires. (Z28s with RS-A tires or GSCs were speed limited to 162mph as I recall.)
From 1998 thru 2002, the B4C had power windows, locks, mirrors, and driver's seat in the package along with, I believe, fog lamps cruise control, and a power hatch release. (this forces a heavier wiring harness in the body of the car.......) The B4C also came with the vinyl steering wheel and brake release handle unless you specifically ordered the leather wrapped wheel ('98/'99) or the "Duplicate Radio Controls" (00, 01, 02) which got you the leather wrapped wheel and brake release. The B4C also deleted the Z28 emblems and furthermore forced a body colored roof panel, rather than the black roof panel that Z28s came with. CC1 removable roof panels were not available. The 6-speed transmission WAS available. However, from Start of Production in the '98 model year, thru the end of January 2002, the B4C could only be ordered 'Fleet' and that required a 6-digit fleet code to do so. Starting in February of 2002, the B4C was opened up (quietly) to retail orders for a good reason: We told (thru our fleet operations) all B4C users that fleet orders would not be accepted after February 1 due to build out and the large number of sold orders. Naturally, we started getting calls from dealers/police departments wanting to "order one more car......."
No larger battery, no larger alternator, no special transmission or engine or brakes......
oh....a few other things....I believe we made the Monsoon system standard on the Z28 in 1998. (memory is fading...it's late.....) The B4C, on the other hand, got the standard radio ...but could be upgraded to the Monsoon as a free flow option.... and remote keyless entry, while in the upgrade package on the Z28 was a free flow option on the B4C. AND......depending on the number of orders, we would two-tone cars with B4C....required, as I recall, a 90 day lead time and line drawings would have to be submitted.....and the colors had to be existing RPO colors........paint lines would be established by body panels. Most usually had doors and hood the secondary color with the rest of the panels the primary color. There was a charge for this, and thus, most departments desiring special paint would do it locally once they received the cars.

Yea here in Greensboro there is a cop that has a Camaro Patrol Car that has had some extensive things done to it. There was an article in the newspaper about it, remember hearing something like he said "Theres nothing on the road that can outrun him" OSLT. Been atleast 2-5 years ago.

In order to have a modified police car the head honcho has to approve it. So does the department and you have to have a budget. However with the growing need for faster cars there is usually one or two per department. I noticed our state police playing with a street racing civic for their undercover department with a FMIC and the works. Seen it at a couple meets and soon later the cops show up.
