The Chevrolet COPO Camaro is a purpose built vehicle meant for one thing:
Meant for the NHRA Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes, the COPO Camaro will be the fastest Camaro built to date. The COPO Camaro is designed to meet NHRA specifications with a solid axle and full chrome moly roll cage.
This drag raced focused car will not even be street legal, making it even more niche.
Technical Specifications
From it's engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity.
This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation. The power unit combined with a 6 speed transversal manual sequential synchronised gearbox is designed to satisfy the most ambitious drivers.
The central carbon chassis will incorporate a roll cage and a rubber racing fuel tank with 4 fuel pumps and quick refuel filler like on GT race cars.
