The day before the 2011 SEMA Show opened in Las Vegas, the folks from General Motors invited a select group of media to meet just outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center for the debut of a new product that turned out to be the new Chevrolet COPO Camaro Concept – and now GM has offered up a video of this new drag strip monster on the track.
If you are somehow unfamiliar with the Chevy COPO Camaro Concept, it is a purpose built race car set to compete with the likes of the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet and the Dodge Challenger V10 Drag Pak. The new COPO Camaro is fitted with interior and exterior modifications to make it legal and ideal for stock and super stock drag racing including a full roll cage, removal of non-essential items (radio, heating/air conditioning items, a back seat) but more importantly – there is a 2-speed PowerGlide transmission, a solid rear axle and the buyers’ choice of two high performance GM crate motors. The first engine is the supercharged 327 cubic inch LSX engine fitted with a 2.9L Whipple supercharger and the second is 427 cubic inch LS7 borrowed from the Corvette Z06 with modifications made to allow it to fit into the stock eliminator racing class.
