The wrecked '96 SPECIAL SERVICE package Z/28 (undercover police car) that I got provided me with my 4 bolt main LT1 motor and freshened 6spd. I believe that would be consistent with most police/special service package LT1 cars. Well maintained engines

...or it could have come that way. Some cars got 4 bolt blocks, probably because that is what they had on the shelf when the car came down the assembly line.

I happen to have bought a 1996 chevy camaro highway patrol... Vehicle... Interceptor.. Whatever.. and my camaro first of all has 390 bhp/ 420 ft lbs tourqu (stock modifications). Now i see that most of you have talked about how it's not different. Well, i assure u gentalmen that it is indeed different. The camaro anyway, And i do agree that all camaros that do go up for re-sale are stripped of the modifications that have been specified from highway patrol. But for those special fiew, like me. Who happen chance got a camaro from a retired police officer do not have the car stripped of it's special add on's. I have a manifest form that tells me all the special parts and what part number to order the parts from GM i will upload later. The officer also told me that what makes the car faster for the most part is larger fuel injectors, a shift kit, exhost, transmission, and reprogamming the ecu to dump more fuel into the motor.

well, we wouldn't want to tip the bad guys off with advertising all the super duper high performance "interceptor" stuff, would we? Then the bad guys would be driving "deceptor interceptor" cars and the cops would never catch the bad guys cause they know exactly what mods the cops have. Duh!!

I think the cop told you some BS to sell the car, unless these are mods they, themselves performed. To come from the factory like that,

Geez and all these years we thought we had to replace heads and cam to get 100hp and torque, when all we had to do was dump more fuel in the motor and do an "exhost" mod...
If you buy a B4C package you are prol just getting a car that was prol taken care of maintance-wise, but was more than likely driven hard and put away wet more than once.
As a cop I can tell you the Crown Vics are pigs...Impalas with the 3.9 V6 will outrun the CV- The only true cop car you should have to worry about is the Charger. Even the V6 Charger outperforms the CV and Impala in every catagory and when it has the HEMI, not even close.
The Charger is by far the fastest cop car out there- Gone 150mph in one and still climbing, Impalas run out of steam at about 130-135ish depending on the lightbar- CV's seem to fall on their faces above 100 mph compared to the other two....

This has to be a troll, can't really be anyone out there this foolish.
The b-body LT1 police cars had a 148mph speed limiter IF they got the good tire option, they would just manage to hit that too.

This has been very comical to me. I have always found it rather funny how people seem to think cop cars are so much faster than their civilian counterparts. Its obviously a result of the society we have all grown up in with TV shows like cops where the bad guy never gets away. But what makes this so funny is when it turned into a debate. Some people are very stubborn with the whole "cop cars are really fast" thing. I can assure you. Police cars are not all that different than the ones you can buy at the dealership. There is no Batmobile technology under the hoods of these cars.

John Belushi (Jake Blues): ... this car has a lot of pickup ...
Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues): ... its got a cop moter of 440 cubic inch plan, its got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks ... the model made before catalytic converters so it will run good on regular gas ... what do you say, is it the new Blues Mobile or what?
John Belushi: ... fix the cigarette lighter ...

Here is the original manifest order form from GM that the highway patrol "special order". And Here is a little thing that i picked up that explains to you what the vehicle identification number means just for those idiots who seem to think they know all about camaro interceptors. The manifest form is kinda fadded cause of a crappy scanner but check it out... http://img401.imageshack.us/i/manifestorder.jpg/ http://img401.imageshack.us/i/titlefy.jpg/ http://img269.imageshack.us/i/vehicl...icationme.jpg/ http://img197.imageshack.us/i/vehicl...icationme.jpg/ .... take a closer look at the identification number... please dont hate on my camaro just simply because i only paid 3500 for it and its fast already 
... it's as simple as this.. it's a custom car for highway patrol and every highway patrol car that is resold must have the car stripped and put back togeather with the standard package that individual car came with when it was sold.. dont be mad that you didnt get the interceptor package.
