Wow! Chevy power

Killer time, daaaaamn. I am so freakin happy to see Ford, Dodge and now Chevy with brand new factory hot rods back in the NHRA sportman classes. Now lets see how much more HP the engine builders can get out of the Copo's skirting the on the egde of the rule book. These are gonna fast hot rods indeed.

tpower · 08-15-2012, 10:55 AM

I think I soiled myself DAMN thats HOT

fastfreddie · 08-15-2012, 11:33 AM

That is BAD!...I hope they have some TV coverage on this when they air the U.S. Nationals.

Great drag times are being set with automatics.

Automatic vs manual: If you like to row get a manual, if you want to go fast get an automatic.

Note to GM: Replace the L99 engine in SS Camaro automatics with an LS3 or better.

I want an automatic but I'm not buying a Camaro with an L99.

I won;t say the COPO isn't great, and I won;t say that the auto trans has nothing to do with its ET

But re: manual trans...the world is not a 1/4 strip

Also...uh, how long was that track the COPO ran on?

henarie21 · 08-15-2012, 05:11 PM

rock out with your COPO out!!!

SC2150 · 08-15-2012, 06:35 PM

5.3 iron block truck motor=327. dished pistons already in them for anyone wanting to duplicate it....add a take out Z06 cam (LS6 C5 ZO6) and add some boost and these motors are freaking unreal.

As far as the trans, it is an ATI glide.....in all the drag racing we do I only know of 3 racers out of thousands running manual trans in stock or super stock....and thay are amazing, but near impossible to race competively with a manual.

joes407 · 08-15-2012, 07:11 PM

looks like chevy's answer to the new cobra in the quarter mile

Baltimorejohn1 · 08-15-2012, 08:31 PM

Testing out that Z28 engine huh..... NICE!!!

I also know a few super stock stick racers. they always seem to be adjusting the clutch weights. lol. we run power glides, the less shifting the better!

Oh Shit!!!

Dan @ Pro Custom Products · 08-16-2012, 07:20 AM

Hope to see one at BIR tomorrow.

ImBlown · 08-16-2012, 09:11 AM

I don't think the 4.0 Whipple is mentioned in GM's parts catalog...I think the Cobra Jets with the 5.0 are using a 2.9 Whipple and running low 9's, but it has been mentioned they will be upgrading them to the 4.0 like the earlier examples of the breed...They will definitely be faster than the COPOs with the bigger blower, because the heads will outshine the LS heads.

But it still amazing these manual guys can run as consistant as they do! Few and far between though.

All our dragsters, roadsters, etc. all run glides. The only ones we dont are the footbrake LS cars.

werelooking for someone wanting to turn their SS into a COPO clone with the same ET's.
