2012 Camaro Copo

[yellowrs]

I just the honor of looking at a 2012 Copo @ Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix AZ.
There are only 69 of those in the world.
1100 hp and not street legal. :(
Sorry about the bad pics.
Enjoy
Yellowrs.

Awesome car but it is not 1100 horsepower. I believe that is the 427 all aluminum which gm rates at 425 hp at 4,000 rpm.

Most likely it is between 500 plus at the wheels though

Beautiful car

Well that is what the sales person told me on the floor.


425 hp seems awful slow for a race car??

It's 425hp per NHRA spec's.

It's about 700rwhp.

HP doesn't mean anything.
It's all about weight and planting power to the ground.

A 400rwhp 2900lbs car is faster than a 700rwhp 4100lbs car.

So am I going to be the one to say that it isn't a copo? Or doesn't look like the ones it they made?

That is awesome, I don't like the new one's that are planned for 2013, less power than the ZL1, I don't really understand the purpose of an SS, 1LE, COPO and ZL1.... I guess it just means that there will be two models that I for sure won't be able to afford lol

What makes you think it isn't a COPO?

Looks like one to me.

from my understanding all but the final 2 are white, and the final 2 are IOM or red convertibles?

Not true

If ever a car made us think of mullets, Cragars, racing suits and Natty Light, this is it. And we don't mean that in a bad way. The COPO Camaro concept that Chevrolet showed off at SEMA last year is officially becoming a production reality for everyone; however, only 69 people will be able to own it. In celebration of the 69 COPO Camaro ZL1s built in 1969, Chevrolet is building just that many of its modern drag-strip-only racer.

Two engine choices have been mentioned previously: a 427-cubic-inch V8 for AA Stock racing and a 327-cubic-inch V8 with a 4.0-liter supercharger for A Stock racing. Now, a third engine choice has been added: another 327-cubic-inch engine but with a 2.9-liter supercharger for B Stock. If you want all three engines Chevy will install one and provide the other two, all with matching numbers. Shifting is handled with a Powerglide automatic, and color schemes include Metallic White, Semi-Gloss Black, Inferno Orange Metallic and Chevy Racing Blue.

The price of entry is $89,000. How can you be one of the lucky? Chevrolet isn't saying. An "independent third party" chose the initial buyers, but it isn't clear how many slots are left or how they'll be distributed. Follow the jump for a press release with more info.

Aren't the white HOOSIER letters usually facing to the outside of the car... ?

On what planet? The n/a copo will put down about 430rwhp through the powerglide, they make just over 740 at the engine. What planet are you people getting your numbers from?

I own #33. Above red is a COPO 427 like mine...

Not all white at all...
Mine is black with orange.
