Yes and no, really
'69 COPOs were all
supposedly intended for drag-racing. ZL-1s were COPOs
Nothing really all that magical about the '69 COPOs; it was just to get around the corporate engine ban
There really were two COPOs in '69, the L72 and the ZL-1 but you are correct, both were street cars
But by offering a ZL-1 and a COPO Camaro now, Chevy is sort of saying: which part of the COPO legacy do you want? We can do either: street car that's good on the track, or a track-only car
But I think we find it easy to forget: ZL-1s
were COPOs
