Talking 2015 COPO Camaro

I got a unused 2015 COPO Camaro. I bought it for one thing! To race it! The car is awesome to drive. I had to get a licence, to drive the car. I;ve been racing it, off and on for the past month. Some results, second race. Was a 1/8 mile race. I dailed a 6;05 ran a 6;05.5 The 60ft times are good. 1;29-1;30 if the track is good. My best time, at Numedia, almost a factored track, was a 9;43 at 141 MPH. not to bad, for still getting use to the car. Thanks, The Flying Dutchman

Dave (PROTREE68) bought a couple of the new COPOs and said they are a blast to race... launches straight and true and just goes like hell.

They are a bargain if you are aiming to run sub 10 second 1/4's as it would be hard to build a similar combo which is certified, sorted, and reliable for the money.

John, I got the 427 NA. I think I should be able to get into the low nines. At Atco or Cecil, before the years out. The car hooks great, and goes straight. Dave barton said, left hand at nine o;clock right hand on the shifter. And enjoy the ride. The Dutchman
