Usually yes. But not always.
Quite a few people don't like big white letter tires.
As long as the tires are not "directional", you can mount them with the white letters on the inside.

That's the first time I've ever seen that grille COPO emblem. Pretty cool!

So that's about 40% power train loss?

Are you sure YOUR numbers are correct?

What planet are YOU living on. 20-25% drivetrain loss. IF and only IF the copo is putting down 430 rwph then the crank would be around 550hp.

I do have a feeling that the N/A is most likely putting down 500 hp at the wheels tho.

you are talking about a 310 hp loss

425 hp seems awful slow for a race car??

A salesman on the floor told me my IBM 2010 1SS/RS M6 is rare and that by 2035 it will be worth much more than what I paid for it. I can hardly wait.

Yea me too. The guy was trying too hard to sell me a car that was already sold to me the moment I saw it on the lot. He wasted his time and his nose.

I told him that the value of this Camaro in 25 years didn't matter to me because I only had 1 year to live. That made him stop talking real fast.

Awesome! I should stop by the dealer when I'm up in Phoenix next weekend for the NASCAR race. I plan on going to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Jaunary too. COPO #69 will be on the auction block there.
For eveyone wondering about the COPO numbers, here they are:

With the final 2012 COPO Camaro produced, Chevrolet has tallied the production numbers for the special run. Of the 69 vehicles produced:

I am going to post a fake Rolex next
This is a car some people never ever going to see in their lifetime.

Lucky to have one at my dealership.

Thanks for the great reply. BTW I noticed that the paint those car have are different. I believe the have some type of fire retarder in it.
Looks like orange peel.
Let me know when you are in Phoenix, we having a real cool car show this weekend which will include that car.
Cheers
