  • Chevrolet COPO Camaro Concept

    Chevrolet will put in production the Copo Camaro, which was the brand’s first purpose-built Camaro drag-racing specialty car designed to compete with the quickest in NHRA’s Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes.

    “The COPO Camaro is going to shake up the sportsman drag racing ranks this summer and give Chevy fans a great new reason to cheer on the Bowtie,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles & Motorsports.

    “COPO builds off the strengths that have made the Camaro the best-selling sports car in America. And while it was developed strictly for the drag strip, the COPO Camaro is infused with the same performance pedigree that every Camaro shares.”, he added.

    The engine range includes three superb power units: An LS7-based naturally aspirated 427 (7.0L) V-8, a supercharged, LSX-based 327 (5.3L) V-8 featuring a 2.9L supercharger and a supercharged, LSX-based 327 (5.3L) V-8 featuring a 4.0L supercharger.

    There will be five colors available: Flat Black, Summit White, Victory Red, Silver Ice Metallic and Ashen Gray Metallic.

    The COPO Camaro is designed to NHRA racing specifications including a solid axle and a full chrome moly roll cage. Inside, most of the standard sound deadening and power accessories have been deleted in order to optimize weight for NHRA racing. Also included is a pair of racing bucket seats (no rear seat), a safety harness for the driver, a competition floor shifter and Chevrolet Performance gauges.

    Pricing starts at $89 000 and only 69 units will be built for this year.
