Chevrolet COPO Camaro Goes From Concept to Production

Stock Eliminator drag racer the quickest Camaro ever offered by Chevrolet

Chevrolet has announced it will build 69 COPO Camaros for 2012, Chevy's first purpose-built drag-racing Camaro specialty car designed to compete with the quickest in NHRA's Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes since the '69 model ZL1. The current national quarter-mile records in these classes are in the nine-second range. This will earn the new COPO the moniker of the fastest factory Camaro ever built.
"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. "COPO builds off the strengths that have made the Camaro the best-selling sports car in America. 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 run for the 2012 COPO Camaro matches the 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 '60s and early '70s.

The new COPO Camaros will be built using factory "body-in-white" units produced at the Oshawa, Ontario plant where regular-production Camaros are built. They are the same body-in-white body shells available to all racers under Chevrolet Performance part number 19243374.
Customers will order and complete the transaction for their COPO Camaro at their preferred Chevrolet dealer, with delivery at the General Motors Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich. Deliveries will begin early this summer.


Highlights of the new COPO Camaro program include:

• A sequenced build number matched to the engine but sold without a Vehicle Identification Number and cannot be registered for highway use
• Three racing-class engine are available, including a naturally aspirated 427 (7.0L) and two supercharged 327 (5.3L) V-8 engines
• Engine assembly 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
• Engines pairing with a Powerglide automatic transmission designed for drag racing
• Five colors: Flat Black, Summit White, Victory Red, Silver Ice Metallic and Ashen Gray Metallic
• A COPO graphics package similar to the one introduced on the concept vehicle available in Metallic White, Semi-Gloss Black, Inferno Orange Metallic and Chevy Racing Blue
• Pricing starting at $89,000
• A special collector's package offering the purchase of all three engines with the COPO Camaro - including one installed in the car at delivery - with each engine serial number matched to the car

Selection process
The COPO Camaro concept was first shown at the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, 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 to the limited number of COPO Camaros, 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 a confirmation letter with instructions on how to fulfill the purchase contract, choose the engine option for theirintended racing class, and take delivery.

Designed to win
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 is 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. They are:

• 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

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.

Racing enthusiasts interested in more information can go to E-ROD LS3 | Hot Rod with Crate Engine | GM Performance Parts to sign up for COPO Camaro updates through the Fuel online newsletter. Production updates will also be posted on Chevrolet Performance's Facebook page.

The 1970 Buick GSX was a monster!

 

Pulled for the Cuda, but would prefer a 70 Plymouth GTX had been on the list....Had a 64 Lemans, White with a red interior and the 326 motor, that was back in 72 when I was 16

 

Space everybody makes a mistake from time to time. I wouldn't sweat it.
A few more details about the second gen Dodge Charger. The reason there were supposed to be 500 69 Dodge Charger 500's built was to comply with NASCAR regulations. There was some controversy over the numbers. NASCAR wanted 500 cars built in addition to the race cars. Chrysler didn't achieve the desired results on the track. They went back to the drawing board and created the 69 Dodge Charger Daytona with its huge adjustable wing on the rear and it's pointy nose. Richard Petty whom was a Plymouth driver wanted a Daytona to race. Chrysler denied his request and he defected to Ford in 69 to drive a Torino Talledega. In an efforts to get Richard Petty back for the next season, Chrysler created the 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird. NASCAR increased the homogation rules to 2000 cars on the street for a special race model. That is shy Superbirds out number both the Charger 500 and Charger Daytona.
Not all of the Dukes Of Hazzard Chargers were 69's. The show could not get enough 69's in a timely fashion to stay in production. Therefore they also used many 68 and 70's and converted them to appear like 69's.

 

What if chevy decided to come back with the Chevelle for a few years like Dodge has with the Challenger and Pontiac with the GTO... How many people would **** there pants??? How many people would buy it???

 

I would love go see one of the car companies build an old car. I would like Chevy to build a new 70 Chevelle so that it appears to be an updated copy. Leave all the dimensions the same. Front engine, rear drive. Make it a unibody to lighten it up a little, add a modern fuel injected engine, disk brakes on all four corners with ABS and air bags to satisfy all the safety idiots in the government. With the lighter weight and the more fuel efficient engines it would get better gas mileage than the original and I think it would sell. Why can't the car companies bring back a classic design as it was, just with updates to today's standards.

 

That yellow Buick is Awesome, but I went with the Charger. Honestly I would drive any of the above.

 

I AGREE IT WOULD BE GENIUS!! you cant tell me people wouldnt buy it!!
