4 liter supercharger? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok who makes this 4 Liter supercharger? And 3 speed trans?

Back at the 2012 SEMA event in Las Vegas, Chevrolet unveiled the car you see above, a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro COPO Convertible. Actually, that's not quite accurate – this car is THE 2012 Chevrolet Camaro COPO Convertible. As in, the only one ever sold. There was one more produced, but it's not leaving the GM Heritage Center any time soon. This one was just sold at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale for $400,000 exactly.

That sum will be donated to the American Heart Association, and the winner will take home this Inferno Orange Metallic COPO, complete with a 327-cubic-inch V8 topped by a 4.0-liter supercharger. The engine sends 550 horsepower to the rear drag slicks through a three-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.

See above?

I think the COPO use the 2.9L Whipple or the 4.0L Whipple.

The whipple 4.0L,as far as I know,they use it for marine use some sand drags,etc....
Theirs a 4.0L kit for the Mustangs too.

There is no 4.0 whipple available for the gen v.

I was told at SEMA that they are making 69 COPO verts and the buyers will be picked in a lottery which I entered while I was there.

A Powerglide is only a 2 speed.

ATI Transmission built all of the powerglides for the COPOs, the three speed option would be the TH350 or TH400.

Wrong

Not going to fit without cowl mod and an aftermarket hood, however.

Yeah. No bolt on kit. If there was one out I'd have it.

. It's more than just the physical fit. The accessories lining up was what they were working on last time I heard.

JLE58 · 01-20-2013, 07:42 PM

Pretty sure it's just a mis print. There is no th400 option.

A 4.0 whipple with a 2 3/4 extended snout fits just fine. The blower is made to accept snouts of different lengths that bolt on. You must have gotten bad information somewhere.

I think if it was possible for Jamie to have a 4.0, he would have it by now!
