2012 Camaro in the NHRA Classguide

[Michael Beard]

Someone asked is there 2 seconds in the CTS-V. Well, the Mustang GT (which is in the video) a like car just qualified #10 at Cordova Ill. with a very impressive 8.910 in AAA/SA trim on a 9.70 index. Do the math.

Math: The COPO is rated at 435, making it about 900 pounds lighter in the same class.

While it would be nice if every single car combination ever built was in the Guide and available for racers to decide for themselves what they do and do not want to race, realistically it is the factory's ball (ie., finances, marketing, etc.). While the CTS-V is not 'in competition' with the COPO, it would not show itself in a favorable light in S/SS competition. The factories choose to market their different products in different venues.

As a sidebar, one of my all-time favorite Stockers is Ray Golanka's Q/SA Cadillac.
