>>DOWNLOAD IN HIGH-RES FOR YOUR DESKTOP (1920x1200)<<

Looking for the real scoop on the new COPO Camaro? GM High Tech Performance gained exclusive inside access to the top secret testing conducted yesterday and we've got loads of behind the scenes coverage coming soon!

Today, we can tell you with certainty that the proof of concept COPO Camaro is an easy 9-second contender and clicked off a 9.90@138 on its maiden voyage down the dragstrip. That's right, a 9.90 on the very first pass! After that, we watched as the COPO Development team, which consists of Russ O'Blenes, Robin Wright, Scott Roslund, and Cliff Cohen, make a series of changes, taking the COPO from a 9.90 to a string of 9.70s. With slow 60-foot times (1.40-second range) the COPO has more in it but managed a 9.69-second pass at 140-mph on its best run. As you would expect from the editors of GM High Tech Performance and Camaro Now, we've got a lot more information to come... but you are going to have to wait for a future issue of the magazine to find out more!!
