COPO's for 2009 Camaro

[Keith Tedford]

I was talking to a tool & die maker who is working on the Camaro project in Oshawa. He heard that the big hp Z/28 Camaro has been cancelled. With the COPO cars in the old days, GM used what was available. There wasn't really anything major that they had to come up with. I've said all along that they should use their top dog 427, which they have in the Vette, and call it a COPO Camaro. That would probably get the Camaro more attention than anything else they could do. To succeed this car will have to stand out and GM had better figure out how. Being the most expensive didn't work the last time.
