Re: 5TH Gen COPO Camaro
 
So what is all the Hoop-La?

When and if Chevy building the COPO?
How many$$$$?
What is HP rating?
What is shipping weight?
Who will build these cars for Chevy?
How many will they build?
When will NHRA approve? After all 50 are built?

It would seem there are more unanswered Questions than Answered?

Seems as though SEMA show was a fishing trip for GM execs!

If you go on the GM performance web site it says plainly that this is a concept car and you can have them contact you if and when it is built.

The new Camaro has been in the guides for quite a while. The stick shift is classified wrong. It is a natural B car. I actually purchased a zero option V8 car just to see! I'd bet that the automatic is the same.

Chevrolet Camaro Aces Crash Test


Published November 15, 2011
| FoxNews.comBoy, that Bumblebee can sure take a hit.
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is the first car to get a perfect score on [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]the [COLOR=blue !important]National
[COLOR=blue !important]Highway [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]Traffic [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]Safety [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]Administration[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] (NHTSA) 5-Star Safety Rating test since a more rigorous testing procedure was instituted last year. The two-door coupe received five stars in all categories, including frontal, side and rollover collisions.
So far only a couple of dozen cars have been put through the new tests, making it likely that more will ace it in the coming months, but that doesn’t make the Camaro’s results any less impressive. For comparison, the similar in size 2012 Ford Mustang only managed to get a four-star overall rating.
The results come out just as Chevrolet announces the official performance specifications of its new super-[COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Camaro[/COLOR][/COLOR], the ZL1. According to the automaker, the 580 hp muscle car can accelerate from 0-60 mph and has a top speed of 184 mph. Prices will start at $54,995 when it goes on sale early next year.

I'll see your 580hp, 184mph "might show up someday" camaro and raise you,

650hp, 600tq, 200+ mph 2013 Shelby mustang, available at your local Ford dealer!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/15/2...straight-from/

"Six hundred and fifty horsepower. Six hundred pound-feet of torque. Over 200 miles per hour. With specs like these, you don't need long-form introductions. This is the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500, and all we can say is, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has officially been put on notice."

Just a couple of pictures of the prototype at SEMA that I finally took off of my phone. If you don't like Mopar, and you aren't crazy about Ford, then you have to love this potential Mustang Killer.

I took a shot of the underside too, but it did not come out well. So I will just tell you that the rear suspension looks very familar as in just like my Drag Pak. But it does come with an anti roll bar, that we had to add to our car.

Gump , who is going to build them ?

It's still a case of if they build them, but I would say the chance is much better that it will happen. The Chevrolet guys are pretty pumped about it. They got a ton of hits on their web page and a lot of guys showed-up ready to write checks. From what I saw, I doubt that they would have any problem selling 50 cars.

Thanks Mickey. Couldn't agree more although I didn't want to be the first to say it here. The COPO version certainly doesn't help. The aspect ratio is simply miserable.

I may be a Mopar guy but agree with you 1000%. Truly a classic. I would love to have one if they weren't so expensive.

Re: 5TH Gen COPO Camaro
 
WHOOO 9's right out of the box.

The Chevrolet COPO Camaro development group was in Bradenton, Fla., with the prototype version of the factory-prepared race car making shakedown runs on Monday. The group kept the car’s performance under a shroud of secrecy as they made several runs with the scoreboards turned off.
Longtime class racer Mike Pustelny is the driver putting the new Chevrolet through its paces. We are told the car has already made it into the 9's despite a mild launch. A source tells CompetitionPlus.com that this COPO was built at Pustelny's MPR Race Cars shop with direction from Russ O'Blenes, Robin Wright, and Mark Kent of Chevrolet Performance.

when I take my shoes and socks off and do the math the 427 with a 4.125" bore and 4.100" stroke is 438 cubic inches. The Factorys are even taking care of the cheating for us now.

hmmm, 16 sec video, seems to "leave" at 8 sec, lifts at finish line (or sooner?), at 16=8?

Re: 5TH Gen COPO Camaro
 
Troy, you seemed to have made a mistake on the spec sheet. The hp numbers were incorrectly labelled as cam duration;
Cam duration (deg.)
233/276 @ 50
244/255 @ 50
244/255 @ 50

is actually
HP Rating (net)
233hp/276tq@ 5000rpm
244hp/255tq@5000rpm
244hp/255tq@5000rpm

Although I do understand chev has been waiting to see how the car performs before it announces the hp numbers so weight can be adjusted to beat the mustang....or try anyway. LOL!

GUMP 12-06-2011 12:32 PM

Re: 5TH Gen COPO Camaro
 
I think that GM has made it pretty clear that they are aimed at A and AA (and the new classes). They are interested in going heads-up with the Cobra Jet and Drag Pak. Not one person at GM has suggested otherwise.

I think you are meaning A and CC. AA would be sure enough hauling the mail. The mustangs with the hits they have been taking look to be a BB combo now.
