Built to comply with the NHRA Stock Eliminator drag racing, the model has a cowl-induction hood, a chromoly roll cage, a pair of bucket seats, a race-spec interior and Auto Meter gauges. There's also a coilover front suspension, a solid rear axle and unique wheels with rear radial racing slicks.
Engine options include: a supercharged 5.3-liter 327 lump or a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter 427. The engine can be paired to a 2-speed automatic, a 3-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual.
“The COPO Camaro is proof of what a Chevrolet Stock Eliminator entry cold look like”, said GM vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports Jim Campbell. Moreover, he revealed that it will make it past the concept stage, since “Chevrolet intends to homologate the Camaro for sportsman drag racing.”
