92 B4C

I am wondering if my 92 B4C originally had fog lights or not. The car was wrecked and a new bumper installed before I bought it. Also was wanting to know what tag might have been on the car when it was a police car. Interceptor? Pursuit vehicle? or something else?

Re: 92 B4C

It shouldn't have had fog lights stock. They could have been added on later but that wasn't part of the B4C package.

What makes the 1992 B4C cars special is that they got the 1LE and B4C packages combined together. Not all of the 1991 B4C cars got the 1LE package if I'm remembering correctly.

The B4C cars are factory thirdgen sleapers in my opinion. You get the Z28 top level powertrain LB9/T-5/3.42 posi rear or the L98/700r4/3.23 posi rear and all of the factory performance G92 option hardware that went along with it.

The 1LE option is special because you got the bigger 12 inch front disc brakes with dual piston aluminum calipers in addition to the upgraded 11 inch PBR calipers that made their debut in 1989. This was the best factory brake set up that you could get on a thirdgen. There were other options associated with the 1LE package but, the larger front brakes were the main selling point and an important improvement over the stock 10.5 disc single piston iron caliper set up.

All of the high performance factory thirdgens should have had this brake set up from the start. This is also the basis for which the aftermarket kits are compared to. There are bigger brake kits that you can buy now in the aftermarket but, the standard that they have to meet is that they have to perform at least as good or better than the factory GM 1LE setup.

So with a B4C car you got all of "the best of the best" factory performance hardware in a plane jane Camaro RS wrapper. The 1989-1992 Camaro RS models were never available from the factory with fog lights - this was a trend that contiued with the 1991-1992 B4C Camaros as well.
