New COPO Camaro, boing!

[CBT]

I think the new Camaro's are butt-ugly but this is HOT.

Thoughts? Opinions? At least it doesn't have a Hemi?

[RacerX]

I don't think you'll see the kid on the tricycle in the road? :D

[CBT]

Wonder if that new Shelby will stomp it?

[LANDY]

Me no like! I like my 4th gen better
With those tires and graphics it shouldn't be called a COPO.

[TAKEDOWN]

At least they got the cowl hood angle right!

[1stMerc]

I like it better without the hood.

[guspech750]

I like the idea of it. And cool options would be sweet.

Too bad the current Camaro looks like ass.

4th gens FTW!!

Ford is claiming the 013 GT 500 will push the 200mph mark.:burnout:

[Joe Walsh]

Sorry....As Joe said:

That thing looks even worse than a "normal" Camaro.....:puke:

It looks so chunky, especially with those gun slit windows that are trying to emulate the f*ggly Chrysler 300's gangster look.

Then add in a set of 70's looking Cragars and you have the ultimate macho mullet machine!

There....That's my opinion on the COPO Camaro!

[wickedmerc]

Eh, I agree with others...rather bulky.

They should make that the Z/28 and make a COPO what a COPO was: a chance to get a stripped-down car and add as many go-fast/heavy-duty parts as you want, offered from the factory. And no badging, to keep it interesting. Then I'd be impressed.

[SpartaPerformance]

Guys the COPO is a straight dragster like the Cobra Jet.

I'm actually digging those rims. Something different, even if slightly retro.

Good arguement, damn good arguement.

Well that sucks, so once again the Camaro owner has to buy a Corvette to keep up with a Mustang?

[guspech750]

ultimate macho mullet machine!
:lol: they should call it CUMM!! Cheverolet Ultimate Mullet Machine.

Do you miss disco? Do you miss mullets? How about not dating any chicks?

Well then. You need to buy the new Chevy CUMM. Because you will forever continue the ways of being a loser if you buy CUMM.

Order one today at your nearest Government owned Chevy dealer today!!

Keep in mind GM had the throne from '93 to '02.

[Joe Walsh]

True,

But the new Camaro, especially that new COPO Camaro, looks like something that gets dropped from the porcelain throne!

[justbob]

Looks okay, lose the 15" Cragars though.:puke:

But COPO???? Where? I remember a stripped down, no frills, beast. This screams "look at me".

[DOOM]

:down: :puke:

[MCAT]

93 to 02 ?
back in 92 my stock 91 Z28 would take anything Ford (stock) had to offer in 91 or 92.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

They found a way to make it even harder to see out of the front of the car.

LOL.....Yep, visibility out of the new Camaro is a friggin' joke....just like the interior and the 'massive' trunk opening!

Lmao! Specially the ZL1, so much for the car that was gonna throw the shelby out the game.

Those Camaro Nation vids were brutal, lol.

[Mr. Man]

Chevy is giving buyers choices on how to build their COPO's; I think the dumbasses at Chevy ought to go look up what a Copo car actually was.:shake::shake:

[Spectragod]

I like it better without the hood.

I think it would look much more attractive on fire.

And there's my #1 reason NOT to buy a Chevrolet product.

[boatmangc]

Freakin Fugly

And a slap in the face to real COPO owners.

[4drcbra]

No sir, i do not like it. It may blow the doors off my MM but atleast i still look cool and not payin $700 month for it

[Ozark Marauder]

You speak and give details about that awesome specimen as if you have a personal connection to the car (??)

I imagine even those that bleed Ford blue gotta respect that '69 Camaro ZL1.

[guspech750]

And let's not forget the Smokey Yunick 302 Hemi 1968/69 Camaro.

Even Yenko had some aluminum 427 blocks made up by Winters Foundry too.

2002 ZL-1 FTW. 600hp 575tq no power adder.

The one off Helen Gibb ZL-1 made for Helen Gibb.

This new COPO is junk.

Sheeeeeeet. Give me a 1987 IROC or Formula 1LE and I'd be happier.

Growing up in St. Louis, most of my friends Dads worked at the auto plants around there, Ford, (which incidentally is where the Marauder was assembled in 1963-65 and in 69-70), Chevrolet and Chrysler.

Anyway.....My Best friends Dad worked at the Corvette Plant, was a "gearhead". He had about eight Chevy muscle cars as I remember, he had one of these....We always tried to sneak it out of the garage, we were 16 at the time. We tried everything, but he would only let us start it, back it out, wash it and wax it. What a machine, the sound alone reverberating in the garage was demonic. We would go with him to MAR (Mid-America Raceway) in Wentzville, and watch him run it. I guess that's what got me into performance cars...........

BTW...he's 81 now and drives a CTS-V, has a mint 63 split window coupe, but the COPO was sold in '79

[yjmud]

it is a good attempt to get back in the ring with the cobra jet and direct connection but the graphics are ugly
the only option should be the ugly graphics just like the cobra jet

Yep!

That is a COPO Camaro!, and I certainly do respect an all aluminum big block 427...:bows:

That's cool, thanks for sharing.

Personally I really enjoy stories like that. People recalling stories of their close encounter with cars that, at the time, just seemed "kinda cool". Not even dreaming that 25-35 years down the road, they'd be the mega-buck SS, R/T, GSX, Boss, COPO, W-Machine cars so desired today.

Boy I'd love to know how much he sold the COPO for in 1979!?!? Talk about kicking yourself!

[chevsmoker]

i can honestly say that the new "copo" camaro looks like crap i like my f-body IROC z28 in tripple black ;) but i agree with most of you guys the copo should be what chevy had it as back in the day.

[Joe Walsh]

I have to shake my head and toss my mullet from side to side everytime I look at that picture of the new COPO Camaro......:shake:
White looks like crap, do you think they will offer it in Marlboro Red!
Maybe Chevy will option the interior in denim...cut-off denim of course!

Maybe some genuine pleather?? A picture of Def Lepperd with torn jeans on the cover of the owners manual. A moose can holder for their big haired girlfriend , if he's that lucky.
