So many people will be like "Dude, you have a cop car, it must have a special engine in it". Just a z without badges and t-tops. I believe they did have larger capacity radiator to allow for additional cooling, oil coolers, and tranny cooler but may be getting confused about Crown Vics. Either way it is a F-Body with a V-8, that is all that is really important. I thought it did have larger alternator also, but may be incorrect. I am sure someone here has GM list of what option included.

My 2000 Colo. State Patrol B4C had a standard off the rack, altenator.
In 118k miles it had 3-4 Alts installed due to high volume of elect eq.
Some of the states do have chips in them but mostly are just those hot Z28's.
I love my 2002 Fl. H/P Camaro.
Believe it or not retired w/56k miles.

4th Gen FAQ:

Everything on that list is the same as a Z28, or optional on a Z28.
"Chips".... how do they "chip" PCM with no removable chip (94-02)?

Q: What's included in the B4C police package?
A: According to "The Genuine Camaro White Book" by Michael Antonick, on a 93 Camaro, the B4C "special service" option included:
LT1 engine
6 speed manual transmission
3.23:1 ratio limited slip rear axle
Single exhaust and converter with dual tail pipes
16 inch aluminum wheels
P245/50ZR16 blackwalls
4 wheels disc brakes
124 amp alternator (140 amp for '94 and on)
150 mph speedometer
Air conditioning
525cca battery
Engine oil cooler
Performance suspension
The term "performance suspension" refers to the suspension which normally comes on a Z28, as opposed to the suspension which comes on the base non-Z28 Camaro or on the 1LE Z28. One other enticing thing is the package is cheaper than the regular Z28 options in order to give law enforcement and local government a break. Good luck trying to order one though. First, you have to find a dealer who will do a fleet order for you. The B4C is a "special services package" that is only orderable under a fleet number. It has no "stated" restrictions in the order book, but currently Chevy will not build one for a non-police department. And that means providing documentation indicating delivery to a police station.

Maybe someone watched the COPS episode and heard the wrong information from the narrator....
