Late August 2012 saw the new Chevy COPO Camaro drag cars showing up at drag strips & races
Victor Cagnazzi Racing testing their LS7 powered 2012 COPO Camaro
The
2012 US Nationals was the 1st place to see the new Chevrolet COPO's competitively in Stock Eliminator and Super Stock drag racing.
Note: On the new Chevrolet COPO Camaro there is a build number, but no VIN, so it can't easily be registered, nor was it intended, for "on highway" use. It is a purpose-built, non-street legal muscle car drag racer. Also, the new COPO Camaro was released in 2012, but wasn't officially associated as being a 2012 model; it was simply the COPO Camaro. However, now that 2103 will see General Motors building another 69 COPO Camaro's the future will find the build year associated with the vehicle which for now means 2012 and 2013 COPO Camaro's.
The new 2012 and 2013 COPO Camaro automobile commemorates the original custom Chevy hot-rods and muscle cars of the late 60's or early 70's while at the same time being able to win races against today's competition. A few examples of the competition are the
Mopar Challenger V10 Drag Pak and the
Ford Mustang Cobra Jet. View Mopar Challenger
V10 Drag Pak video.
News (10-30-2012): Ford Racing is showing off a new 5.0 Twin Turbo Cobra Jet V-8 using their EcoBoost® technology.
