GMs new COPO camaro

[06 pitbull]

looks bad ass...glad to see GM build a real drag car for the new camaros.. I bet its gona be expensive... $$.. wish I could afford 1... any of em.... drag car... not a street car..



& the road track car...

Supercharged 6.2 big block against a naturally aspirated 302 is not even fair.
Put that ZL1 against a 2013 GT500 pumpin 650 horse
Im a ford fan Pitbull, never owned a chebby...
440 out of that coyote motor is more impressive to me.

no problem foggdog.... we all got faults.....

no problem foggdog.... we all got faults.....if you watch the video on the road course agin..it stated the camaro wasnt that much ahead of the ford due to HP...it just out handled it,,& out stoped it... the extra power is there cause the camaro is a little heavy.... I know ford is comming out with a high HP mustang this yr.. but give it to chevy for a late model drag car.... I got a 23 ford tbucket.... does that make you feel better??..... but its all chevy running gear........ chevy is the heart beat....

wait ford made the best car... 33 ford & carroll shelby(rip) made the cobra.... & not the mustang.... I think those are the best fords ever made....

Camaro for a drag car? You know as of last year, you could go to the parts counter at Ford and buy a complete Mustang set-up for drag racing. It isn't even street legal, so you get no title or vin number.

I don't know all the details, but it sounds like GM is playing catch-up on this one...again.

Ford Mustang Boss 302R: The Boss Is Back For $129,000!

the copo is the same not a street car.... but its turn key......... thay built it for a super stock nhra class...I'm not saying its cheeper.. just that the mfg is getting involved... building factory drag cars agin... thay do have street versions to..just not the copo

wow a mustang for ONLY 129K....

For the price of either car i would rather have a used well maintained Z 06 corvette.

The supercharged 5.3 is targeted for AA/SS (Super Stock) competition pending approval.

The 427 will be the (stock eliminator) option.

And this has a four link set up on it and it's a COPO car.

So if you get one you can hit all the stock suspension classes with a true racing four link and be legal because that's the way it came from the factory

I was on an email list from GM, for interested buyers,......before they verified that they were actually going through with the program. Kept sending me surveys, asking if I had a drag license, what motor comboi I'd be interested in, etc,......etc,.....

[FRANKTHECRANK]

First day at the drags, it ran A 9.69 AT 140 mph, (and that was leaving soft, watch the video). Not bad for taking a stab at a converter and gears.

That was with the 327ci engine with Whipple 2.9L supercharger, LSX block, LS7 heads, 9:1 compression, and big ass camshaft.

The next day it was with the 427ci with LS7 heads, big camshaft, Holley intake, and big compression.

ok so lets have our own car shoot out. I own a ford and like mopars but chubbys have their place so I like the three.

So Lets say all three cars (Camaro, Mustang, Challenger) go head to head what do you all think will win? Motors have to be close (Chevys 350, Fords 331, Dodge's 360)

Chevy's 1SS 6.2L 426-hp V-8 (SS)
Ford 5.0L 412-hp V-8 DOHC (GT)
Dodge 6.4L 470-HP V-8 Hemi (SRT)

This is the Base 8's all three 2011 models I found online.

I kinda dig the shit outta the dodge

Here's one of the emails I received..............


REMINDER NOTICE - PLEASE BE SURE TO RESPOND BY THIS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2012*************
