The factory-built drag racer, designed for NHRA’s Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes, adopts the styling of the 2014 Camaro range and also offers up a pair of new racing engine choices. The engine lineup includes a revised version of the naturally aspirated 427 engine and supercharged version of the 350 engine introduced for the 2013 COPO Camaro. It will feature a 2.9-liter Whipple screw-type compressor. Naturally aspirated 350 and 396 engines are also available.
Each COPO Camaro race car is built by hand starting with the basic chassis and shell from the Camaro’s plant in Oshawa, Canada. Each is fitted with an NHRA-approved roll cage and other safety equipment, along with racing chassis and suspension components--including a unique solid rear axle system in place of a regular-production Camaro’s independent rear axle.
The very first 2014 COPO Camaro will be auctioned by Chevrolet Performance at Barrett-Jackson’s annual January event in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds from the sale will go to benefit the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans.
