First Round Of Chevrolet COPO Camaros Headed To Owners (With Video)

When it comes to Camaro versus Mustang, we’re currently seeing the most exciting and diversified pound-for-pound war between the two American darling cars in nearly 50 years. For every one of Ford’s Mustang variants; the V6, GT, Boss 302, GT500 and Jet, there’s the Camaro V6, SS, 1LE, ZL1 and now, the COPO.

These examples are numbers 3,5,7 and 9. Each of them have been chassis certified by the NHRA, and are 100% eligible for sanctioned competition. The video below features one being loaded into the carrier, where we’re teased by listening to its healthy idle.

Cannot be titld or licensed.To quote Chevrolet…It is specifically offered for off-highway, competitive NHRA use only. It cannot be registered, titled, licensed, or driven on public roads or highways. 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: a pair of racing bucket seats (no rear seat), a safety harness for the driver, a competition floor shifter, and Chevrolet Performance gauges.
