Thumbs up = COPOs Camaro > 8-second quarter-mile runs.=>
First 2015 COPO Camaro to Be Auctioned for Charity at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach


April 14, 2015 at 4:52 pm by Alex Nunez


You know how bidding sometimes gets out of control at Barrett-Jackson. This is one of those times where you root for that to happen.
Chevy will build exactly 69 COPO Camaros in 2015, and #001 will cross the block on April 18 at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. You likely know the modern COPO story by now, but for those not up to speed, it’s a factory drag special with a 350-cubic-inch LSX V-8 supplemented by a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger. All told, the combo is good for 555 horsepower, which is sent to the live rear axle via a three-speed automatic racing gearbox.

An NHRA-certified roll cage and safety equipment are standard, and the wicked-looking COPOs are good for 8-second quarter-mile runs. It’s the GM guy’s answer to the equally knuckle-dragging Mustang Cobra Jet.All proceeds from the sale of serial #2015COPO001 will benefit the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans, which helps wounded warriors and other disabled athletes train for, gain access to, and compete in sporting events.

Hey Rick Hendrick, this thing looks like a million bucks well spent to us…
