Gas Monkey Built COPOs? - Page 2

SuperCarFan · 10-02-2013, 09:25 PM

How can Gas Monkey say they bought / built up 14 of the 20 Competition Rollers? Thought they only bought six? Looks like a bit of "creative" advertising by saying "SOLD" for all the ones they had nothing to do with.

Those guys are too much. I'd be surprised if they sell any of them.

Heres a Javelin they are trying to sell on Ebay. Another bit of a stretch to say the least.

That $100K Javelin is the biggest joke I've ever seen! They have a "NASCAR" plate (is it real?), a VIN # and a tag on an intake. After that, they've got a real POS Javelin with no real documentation. Only hype. Good luck with that sale!

But, Jeff,,,The best part is >
Don't you want to be seen on T.V buying it (getting hosed)?
That is cheap for T.V. time...

Did it say 1-5 months delivery time? Must not be building these on show,they drag out of weeds and finish them in a week on the show,LOL. Going by that a COPO should'nt be over 1-2 hour job for them LOL

I've been told not to commit business suicide and get into a pissing contest with the *** monkeys. But I've never really been one to listen
(hehehe) so here goes
1st It is not a COPO quit saying it is.
2nd all the COPO'S are gone.
3rd Being someone who was lucky enough to get 1 of the CRC(#007) cars before you screwed the pouch on this. I would like to thank you for guaranteeing that there wont be anymore built but at the same time you have screwed the chance of many racers of ever getting one. They were built for the racer who has his own engine combo to put in and race class with. All of the COPOS are long gone and so are the CRC cars.
4th the cars cost 55k plus tax 5500.plus transportation 1200.00? about $62000. and your asking 85k for rolling chassis **** bring me 80k and you can have mine.(mine wont have *** monkey stickers)
I guess here goes the suicide part
Richard you give real car guys a bad name all of us are not TV hero's like you. We work hard on our cars and charge a fair price for what we do and we do it with our MONEY NOT SOMEONE ELSES.Well jmo

The GM build center COPO Camaros are professionally built, race ready drag cars finished to the highest level of quality to deliver performance and be safe. The dedication of the entire staff up in Michigan putting these cars together is inspiring and these guys sincerely are looking for owners to have success in racing these awesome cars. I have experienced great support long after my delivery when I had questions or needed assistance to correct issues or get faster. From what I can see based on their TV show, the GMG cars will not be anywhere close to what a real COPO is. And let's be clear........these are NOT COPO Camaros.
