It’s been only a few months since Chevrolet debuted the sixth-generation Camaro, and the all-new COPO Camaro drag racer was unveiled at the 2015 SEMA Show. Displayed alongside many Camaro-based concept cars, the 2016 COPO Camaro is the fifth modern-day iteration of the race car, which was revived in 2012 based on the previous-generation muscle car.
Built around the sixth-gen Camaro, the new COPO is a major departure from its predecessors. There’s a new design language and a revamped interior, but, more importantly, it is significantly lighter and boasts increased structural rigidity. The sixth-gen Camaro’s body structure is 28-percent stronger than the previous model, while curb weight has been reduced by more than 100 pounds. These features benefit the COPO Camaro as well, making it a better race car.
Much like its predecessor, the 2016 COPO Camaro will be eligible for the NHRA’s Stock and Super Stock Eliminator classes. Production will once again be limited to 69 units as a tribute to the original COPO-built ZL-1, also produced in 69 examples.
