The Quarter-Mile Gladiator: Chevrolet’s Tribute to Drag Racing Heritage

The 2016 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is a factory-built drag racer, limited to just 69 units, designed for NHRA Stock and Super Stock Eliminator classes.

Under the hood, buyers could choose from three formidable V8 engines: a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter, a supercharged 5.7-liter, or a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter, all paired with a race-prepped Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission.

The COPO Camaro's interior is stripped down for racing, featuring lightweight bucket seats with five-point harnesses, a chrome-moly roll cage, and a competition switch panel.

In testing, the 2016 COPO Camaro demonstrated impressive performance, achieving quarter-mile times in the 9-second range, with some runs dipping into the 8s.

The 2016 COPO Camaro stands as a testament to Chevrolet's commitment to high-performance engineering, blending heritage with modern technology to dominate the drag strip.
