The production motors do, but this one gets steel.

Did Stock go in as Powerglide only as the specs were released by GM?

How much lighter are the Drag Pacs than the street version? The COPOs are made strictly for drag racing! So who cares how much they weigh!!!

I know Bryan. I thought this weight issue has been covered multiple times with the mustangs and dodges. I'm thinking its people attempting to hate on chevy, but they can't find anything like crazy hp factors (Ford and Dodge). Even though they call it Govt. Motors, they arn't taking any handouts from our Govt. (NHRA).

Time will tell how close they are on the factoring. Just because they are rated higher HP doesn't mean that they are factored closer.

Bottom line on the weight issue is that it allows all brands to put weight where it is most beneficial!! Take a production car and start removing weight and you MIGHT be able to get to a minimum weight.

Glad to see GM back in the game.

1012 COPO vs 1969 COPO both factored the same. How close will this be looking at the specs??

Exactly the same way the DPs and the CJs did. Take anything that makes them street legal and leave it off.

427 cubic inch Chevy 425 horsepower. 360 Cubic inch Drag Pak 275 horsepower. Doesn't make sense to me!
