I've thought about going but I'm not sure what the specifics are for showing up.

I'm due to. I have 35,000 miles now.

Well, Everyone it looks like my time with my SS is coming to an end soon. I have a buyer that is very excited about getting my Camaro and we have our banks currently working out the details. The new buyer is out of the Pheonix area and is looking forward to joining the site and the club soon.

So with that, Sean I will have to back out of the show at DM UNLESS for some strange course of events happens with my ZL-1 order.

Yes some of you know that I have one on order, but with the current shut down I doubt it will be built before it's needed for the show. If you're wondering what I ordered, here goes.

2012 ZL-1
Manual
Inferno Orange
Suade interior package
Exposed Carbon fiber hood

Everything else on the vehicle will be stock. I have no plans on modifing the car at all for the first 3 years, as I want to keep the warranty availabile if needed.

So there you have it. I can't wait and I hope the new owners enjoy the SS as much as I have.

Got my DVD and photo discs of the trip to Laughlin and the London Bridge from The PIcture Gal this afternoon! Hundreds of photos, and Troy, David and I are in the start of many of the video shots. We somehow ended up in the front of may of the launches. Great shots of all the different mods on the cars.

Hey Derek those look awesome! What company makes these?

The option to buy with all three engine packages (one installed)???

BigSis, meet BiggerSis... this has you written all over it!!!

It's official: Chevrolet will build 69 COPOs for 2012, the first purpose-built Camaro drag-racing specialty car designed to compete with the quickest in NHRA's Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes. National records for quarter-mile times in these contests are in the 9-second range.

"The COPO Camaro is going to shake up the sportsman drag-racing ranks this summer and give Chevy fans a great new reason to cheer on the Bowtie," said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. Vice President of Performance Vehicles & Motorsports. "And while it was developed strictly for the drag strip, the COPO Camaro is infused with the same performance pedigree that every Camaro shares." The 69-car production for the 2012 COPO Camaro matches the original number of ZL-1 COPO Camaros made in 1969. COPO stands for Central Office Production Order and was Chevrolet's special-order system used by dealers to build high-performance models in the 1960s. Engines will be assembled in Wixom, Mich., at GM's Performance Build Center, where the buyer can opt to participate in the engine assembly similar to Chevrolet's Corvette Engine Build Experience and the Chevrolet Performance Build Your Own Crate Engine programs. A special collector's package will be offered that includes the purchase of all three engines with the COPO – including one installed in the car at delivery – with each engine serial number matched to the car.

The COPO Camaro concept was first shown at SEMA last year, 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, 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 confirmation early this year, with instructions on how to fulfill the purchase contract, choose the engine option for their intended racing class, and take delivery.

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. 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 are 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:
• 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

FUEL will keep you posted on COPO production updates, as will Chevrolet Performance's Facebook page. In the meantime,go here to watch it in action.

Here is the info for the door lights i got. Really easy to install them.


Part# 92228416 is what is used in the IOM, but the light description is "red". It's the IOM door panel that makes them orange. They're listed on GMpartsdirect.com for $10.16 each.
