-'''Irmscher Automobilbau [[GmbH]] & Co. [[Kommanditgesellschaft|KG]]''' is a [[Germany|German]] automobile [[car tuning|tuning]] and [[Manufacturing|manufacturing]] <ref>http://www.irmscher7.de/</ref><ref>http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/02/26/geneva-preview-irmscher-to-debut-473hp-opel-gt-saturn-sky/</ref> company specialising in [[Opel]] (and [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]], both belonging to [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]]) cars.
+'''9C1''' is [[Chevrolet]]'s Special Equipment Options (SEO) code for a police package vehicle. The 9C1 package has heavier-duty (HD) features over a non-police vehicle as well as some options specific to the installation of police equipment. The Chevrolet [[Chevrolet Nova|Nova]], [[Chevrolet Malibu|Malibu]], [[Chevrolet Caprice|Caprice]], [[Chevrolet Impala|Impala]], [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Tahoe]], and [[Chevrolet Camaro|Camaro]] have all been available with Police Package options. Some of the models are designated by different SEO codes, such as [[B4C]] for the Camaro Police vehicle.
-It was founded in 1968 in a double garage in the [[Swabia]]n town of [[Winnenden]] near [[Waiblingen]] in [[Rems-Murr-Kreis]] by [[rallying]] driver and motor mechanic [[Günther Irmscher]] Sr.
-Irmscher has retained close links to the [[Opel]] company by operating the works teams for Opel in many European automobile competitions, including the [[Opel Ascona|Ascona B i400 rally car]] and the [[Opel Omega|Omega]] raced in the discontinued [[V8Star]] competition in Germany. However, in the UK the Vauxhall teams are run by [[Triple 8]].
+HD features include full perimeter steel frame (there is debate as to whether the 9C1 Caprice uses a thicker frame than the civilian car; GM replacement frame part numbers for the civilian auto and the 9C1 Caprice are the same); oversized front and rear sway bars; full-size spare tire (in the case of the last-generation [[1994]]-[[1996|96]] Caprice Classic police car); high-output alternator; lifetime-rated green [[silicone]] coolant hoses; four-wheel disc brakes; HD steel wheels and speed-rated tires; separate engine, power steering and transmission oil coolers; certified digital speedometer; stiffer body mounts and more of them; true dual exhaust; anti-stab steel plates in the front seat backs; performance 3.08 final drive ratio (3.23 w/std. 200 hp/245&nbsp;ft·lbf L99 [[V8]] 4.3&nbsp;L (265&nbsp;cid) SFI engine); and extra wiring for the emergency equipment. The 260&nbsp;hp/330&nbsp;ft·lbf cast iron head, sequential multiport fuel injection, reverse-cooled, Corvette-derived [[LT1]] 5.7&nbsp;L (350&nbsp;cid) [[V8]] was a popular option for these final years and helped make the '94-'96 9C1 Chevrolet Caprice Classic one of the fastest and best-regarded police cars in US history.
-This has led them to create parts for [[GM Daewoo|Daewoo/Chevrolet]] <ref>http://www.irmscher.de/pdf/de/files/Prosp_Daewoo-Cad_09-04.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.irmscher.de/pdf/de/files/Captiva_Edition_irm_10_07.pdf</ref> models, the [[Cadillac CTS]] <ref>http://www.irmscher.de/pdf/de/files/Cadillac%20CTS%2003_06.pdf</ref> and wheels for the [[General Motors Corporation|GM]] based [[Saab Automobile|SAAB]] <ref>http://www.irmscher.de/pdf/de/files/Saab_Felgen_05_05.pdf</ref> models, although these are much rarer than the [[Opel]] and [[Vauxhall]] parts. Their distinctive customised parts include [[alloy wheels]], [[Body kit|bodykits]] and [[Internal combustion engine|exhausts]] as well as various interior fittings.
+C1 is also the code for "police pack" [[Holden Commodore]]s in Australia, which can be equipped with the 5.7 litre Chevrolet engine, that made the '''9C1''' so popular and has been touted as a possible Successor to replace the Crown Victoria in police fleets.
