b4c's

i'd like to know more about the b4c's.a b4c is a police camaro, correct? what engines did they come with? i would probably guess none where v6. was the base option the TBI 305 like i have in my RS or was it a TPI engine? are any B4c's still in any active police force anywhere in the country. i own a camaro RS 305 so i am well aware of how these cars handle and perform. if i was driving an everyday car like a cavalier, ect i would think twice before would try to outrun one.

All B4Cs are TPI motors. Some are still left in service, I know the Oregon Highway Patrol is still using one.

Now that I think about it this car did have a sticker saying it was confiscated in a bust. Still it is nice to see a thirdgen police car, as long as they are not flagging me down.

SWEET, i'll keep an eye out for him! ALSO BTW Oregon's "highway Patrol" is called the "State Police" or "State Troopers"... it's odd how some states have a Highway Patrol, and some have "state police".

I saw him in the Portland area right by the Washington state line. It was all purple and I only saw it for a second, but it had a lightbar and all the emblems. I couldn't remember if you had Highway Patrol or Staters :-)
