1LE vs. B4C w/ 1LE

Is there a difference?
1LE was a race car for street with lots more than upgraded brakes.
B4C with the 1LE brakes were built for cops.
So were the cop cars exactly like the race cars?

Re: 1LE vs. B4C w/ 1LE

1LE is brakes and A/C delet for the most part.
The rest of the parts were used on many other F cars. Not much special about them other than lower production numbers.

Re: 1LE vs. B4C w/ 1LE

From what I've seen about the 1LE that was built for racing but had to be street legal and available to the public, there was a lot of upgrades, like...
Big brakes, A/C delete, aluminum drive shaft, baffled gas tank, different gear in 5th on standards, and a few more that escapes me.

Just wondering what the cop cars didnt have that the 1LE cars had?

Re: 1LE vs. B4C w/ 1LE

Do the 1LE cars have 1LE on the SPID?
Anyone able to post up a pic of that?

Yes, 1LE is an RPO just like any other.

Just wondering what the cop cars didnt have that the 1LE cars had?
A/C delet, any car can have,
aluminum driveshaft, any car can have,
baffled tank, all 90?-91-2cars have them
twin cats, all 89-92 305 5spd an 350 cars got them

The cop cars had everything the 1LEs have but have A/C. (firehawks also have 1LE and A/C).
1LE is a option package that made some of the higher end (WS6 parts) and performance items standard and deleted the comfy creature feature items.

As I said, its reeally reeally not that special. The big front brakes are the only thing you couldn't order by itself.
