Selection Process
The COPO Camaro concept was first shown at the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market
Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, where the overwhelming response by more
than 2,000 racing enthusiasts shaped the decision to produce a limited number of
COPO Camaros.
To ensure fair access to the limited number of COPO Camaros, an independent
third party was used to identify the first individuals who would be offered the
opportunity to buy one of the new COPO Camaros. Those selected will receive a
confirmation letter with instructions on how to fulfill the purchase contract,
choose the engine option for their intended racing class, and take delivery.
Designed to Win
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.
The three engines offered in the COPO Camaro program were developed to align
with the top classes in NHRA's various Stock Eliminator and Super Stock ranks.
They are:
* An LS7-based naturally aspirated 427 (7.0L) V-8
* A supercharged, LSX-based 327 (5.3L) V-8 featuring a 2.9L supercharger
* A supercharged, LSX-based 327 (5.3L) V-8 featuring a 4.0L supercharger
The 2012 COPO Camaro is being offered as a performance part, with a specific
part number (P/N 20129562). It cannot be registered, titled, licensed, or driven
on public roads or highways. COPO is specifically offered for off-highway,
competitive NHRA use only.
