Re: Live from Oxford,Michigan - the Camaro COPO story
 

Since I posted this morning about Jim Boburka testing this past weekend my phone has been ringing off the hook .Some of you thought I intentionally left out info - like his ET amd MPH .Here's the real skinny - as anyone who knows me will tell you - I don't post what I think - I post what I can prove or back up ...............and like they say - a picture is worth a thousand words .And many thanks to Mr.Boburka for proof.

And for those of you naysayers out there this ET and MPH came easy ......maybe it came in a short amount of time but not without much hard work .Way to go Jimmy ..............

Very nicely done on the performance! It always seems easy when someone else is doing it. When you're the one doing it you know how hard it really was.

Ford Racing took orders for anyone interested in buying CJ engines so that they could gear up for production. I was just curious if GM Performance Parts did the same. The 427 would have a lot of appeal to others outside of the Stock and Super Stock world. Of course I haven thumbed through the GM catalog since "um well ever". It's kinda neat how each of the manufactures approached and excecuted its drag cars.

Making good power very cool!

What engine ran those times?

Re: Live from Oxford,Michigan - the Camaro COPO story
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's the 427.

Natural "CC" car at 7.52 lbs/hp. As of now, that combination can run BB, CC, and A/SA. Looks like the first HP hit will remove it from A.

Thanks for all the updates, Jack! Can't wait to see the COPO's at Indy!

Re: Live from Oxford,Michigan - the Camaro COPO story
 

COPO Parts are on the way... I've been told, they should be in the next catalog.

Jack was the car at CC/AA weight ? I have heard they only weight 2950lbs wet with out driver . Rumor is the cars need weight for CC and A stock ? We all want to know

Re: Live from Oxford,Michigan - the Camaro COPO story
 

Bo - Scales were not open during testing - I've not seen any real numbers on their actual weight .I'll try and hunt some up ..........

Re: Live from Oxford,Michigan - the Camaro COPO story
