That's just not right (IMO)!!! That's not how the original COPO's were. GM....please make this STREET-LEGAL just like the original COPO's were!!!

I also found these statements on the GMPP website....talking about the original COPO's:

"Unlike other race-only exotics, a COPO Camaro was a true dual-purpose machine, with the hardware to win at the track and the presence to own the drive-in."

"This order code substituted the transistor ignition-equipped all-aluminum ZL1 427/430 V-8 for the L72 427 V-8 found in COPO 9561, creating the Ultimate Weapon for track or street."
It's all about corporate responsibility. State and local government wouldn't want to have to deal with a potential 800+ HP car running around on city streets just off the dealer's lot. Local law enforcement would have serious acid reflux over it. Too bad, this is going to be a Pony killer out of the box. Imagine what a little tweaking will do!
