2014 COPO

mrays · #1 08-15-2014, 03:14 AM

I was at a cruise-in this evening and came across this brand new COPO Camaro. The owner said he just picked it up two weeks ago. They took it to the track as is the first weekend they had it and ran a best of 8.96 at over 150 mph. He got on it a little when he left and it sounded pretty good.

Here's another COPO I saw at the track recently. I believe this was a 2013.

Here's one I saw at the Super Chevy in Maple Grove in 2011. The owner said he ordered the body panels and interior from GM and hung them on a full tube chassis. It had a full interior with power windows and a 600ci big block running on alcohol. I believe it ran 8.50's that weekend.

Owner says he's taking it to Osceola Dragway tomorrow (Friday) to get some more times on it. Looks really good up close too. We'll see how quick it goes at Osceola.

They are impressive, for sure, but the wheels on the black one are brutally ugly, eek.

The black car is actually a beautiful dark blue, and not only are the wheels super uggo, they are heavier than the base wheels. Base wheels are reportedly 8 pounds each lighter for the fronts and 12 pounds each lighter for the rears. That's 40 pounds heavier overall for the ugly. Owner reports he had originally ordered the base wheels and a different color, but with the same supercharged 350 engine. When this car became available earlier, it was offered to our buyer here in town. Being as he could get this car sooner, he jumped at the chance, ugly wheels and all. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/

Why did I think the COPO's were 427's?

Oh, and X10 on those wheels, my goodness - they would force a train onto a dirt road! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

I believe there are 4 different engine options on the 2014 COPO's. I believe the 427 is only available in naturally aspirated form. I believe the 350 is available naturally aspirated or with two different sizes of supercharagers. This 14 COPO has the top dog engine. I think the owner said it makes over 1,000hp at the flywheel. The color is Blue Ray Metallic, the same color as my 14 Impala 2LTZ.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood, for going to the track that is. The '14 blown blue 350 Copo cranked out it's best yet time of 8.69 @ 155 mph in mediocre air. There are some video's, but I haven't seen them yet. If they get them to me I will see if I can post them here.

Here's some of the videos. No sound yet on a couple of them and crappy cell phone video, but you will get the drift.
