I bought a 97 b4c earlier this year. the thing is wicked fast. The only mod I have is an lt4 knock sensor prom installed, the rest is stock from gm. I am planing on getting it dyno'ed some time in the next few months. I can post the results here when i get it done.

Yes,of course i can name a fast cheap car! A Evo 8. $30,000 for that much performance,it seems cheap...I bet you anything a camaro cop car will not keep up with the Evo at the track...And now days,everyone who has money is importing Skylines to the USA, I bet it'll take more than a camaro cop car to get that thing...why dont they use a Vette? A Z06.. that will have much more chances of getting cars in hot persuits...

the evo sucks for 30,000K you can do alot more with a camaro. That and they are not as fast as everyone says. Mid 14's to low 15's bone stock. Thats the fastest that I have seen them run

word on the street is that they do have a pursuit corvette. most popular rumor in the mid atlantic is that virginia and DC have corvettes that are just waitin for the big runners. i dont necessarily believe it just cause ive never seen one, but you hear from enough people and it becomes worth lookin into. i havent found anything on it but anyone else have any hard evidence on that.

also, im gonna agree with hypsi. i havent seen the evo's run any faster than 14's

Yeah it defenetely has 350 horse power I saw this documental in which a camaro was persuing a bmw turbocgarge (they were runing over 140) (not at 140) doing turns and even so it couln't get away from the camaro in the prosses they explained that that camaro had 350hp with a high performance ship included.

Besides that I heard some of my buddies speculate that police camaro were supercharged and that they had nitrous. But I defenetly do desagreed is just not wuite possible from them(police).

Besides they also have a good start because once i was in Key West and in front of me was one and no matter how fast and hard i stteped in the gas pedal (just couln't reach it).

By the way yes i wish I could buy one of those but I don't think it will happen in some time.

The B4C Camaro does not have 350hp, or any kind of power adder. I hope your being sarcastic, but incase your not.....

From 93-95 it is rated at 275hp, from 96-97 it has 285hp, from 98-99 rating is 305hp, from 00-02 the rating is 310hp. Now, the LS1 engine in the 98-02 F-bodys is underrated, it is really about 330-340hp.

I saw the video your talking about, the narrator sucks. In another chace they were talking about how blazingly fast a Talon is, and how a 3rd gen has a monstorus V8 power. (no offence to you 3rd gen guys )

First of all, an Evo runs about the same as a stock LT1. Nowadays, camaro cop cars are LS1's so they eat the Evo's for lunch. Also, the B4C Camaro's with LT1's were had for about $24k, which is much less than an evo.

BTW, as far as the "many people importing skylines" To import one cost like $100,000 after all the emissions bullshit and taxation. Not to mention, even the jap spec skyline is only 290 stock, which is not really that much more than the stock lt1's especially since they are torqueless. and it is much less than a stock LS1 cop car...

They don't use a Z06 cause it is too damn expensive...

Also, you have to realize, the cops don't need the fastest car, they have radios. Someone is always going to have a faster car than the police, that's just a fact of life. They picked the camaro cause it hauls balls compared to like 90% of other cars out there on the road in stock trim. Sure a modded up car can take the camaro, but no fukin shit sherlock...

You guys can talk HP numbers all you like. But when that Utah camaro walked away from me that was a hell of alot more then 305-310. Shit I had just over 400 HP without the bottle and saw he could catch me. In the long run that is. See the thing is not all the cop cars out there stay stock Take the 3rd gen camaros I saw being sold. They had droped 454's in 3rd gen camaros. That was never done by GM for 3rd gen yet they had um
Put it this way. He walked away from this.

When we where over 100 MPH side by side.

[Chevyracincamaro]

carguy is right on one point. the cops that get those b4c's generally dont keep em stock. heck, there's been an officer in this forum with a b4c and he was askin what he could do to it.

[bboyz28]

I'm agree they are no stupid enough to leave the camaro stock they know what we do to cars and they are no stupid enough to take that to the street knowing that there are faster cars out there.

[Genopsyde]

Evo's are some ugly ass cars.

[89IROC&RS]

ok for the record, yes there are corvette pursut cars here in va, ive worked on them at the dealership. i have yet to see an unmarked one, but they do have them.

also, have you noticed that import guys always bash corvettes, and say that with the money they save on the import they can make it faster than the vette?? well with the money i would save ona police auctioned B4C, as opposed to the 30K evo 8, i would give a skyline a run for its money. and thats no shit. i mean im looking at spending maybe 10k on my IROC and ill be running at LEAST 11 second quarter mile times. so imagine what i could do with 20k more twin turbo setup anyone? just to start. and yes, evos are ugly, its a grocery getter, with lots of ricer body parts, and a decent tune up witha powerplant to actually make it somewhat serious on the street. and hot red keeps bringing up the point that wont sink in, they have radios, so they dont need to dump a shit load of money, and the camaro is faster than 90% if not more of the general popluations cars. go to L.A. and they have the highway pursuit cars for suped up cars like you are talking about. also have helo's. but how fast of a car do you really need to pull over the SUV's of the world???????

oh and chevyracin, just figured, the only people i had heard use hella were from norcal drove me nuts lol.

[Cop with a Camaro]

Very few police chases are a flatout drag race. Most of the offenders try to out manuveur you in the corners. The handling of the car is far more important than the top end, although you do need a stout engine, good brakes and an intelligent driver.

Here is a Oklahoma camaro highpo that took a little hit.
