2011 COPO Camaro
I am not sure if any of you guys are aware of the new 2008/2010 Mustang Cobra Jet or 2009 Drag Pack Challengers that are being raced in NHRA Stock and Super Stock. GM has plans to build a limited number of new COPO Camaros to compete with those cars. These will be race only no VIN cars with factory open headers, supercharger, and solid axle! All of the specs. are not yet nailed down and no price has been set by GM.
The reason that I am posting here is that I am a Stock Eliminator racer that has been working on GM to build these cars for over a year. I have been approached to see if there is a market for these cars. With the current climate at GM the only way that these cars will get built is if the whole run sells. If you have any interest please feel free to contact me. You can also follow my 2011 Camaro thread at classracer.com Take Care, Daren Poole-Adams [email protected]

Re: 2011 COPO Camaro
Matt,
No COPO photos yet, but this is my 2010 Body In White.  GM is serious about seeing Camaros in Stock and Super Stock. This also might be the only chance for COPO collectors to get one. Take Care, Daren

Re: 2011 COPO Camaro
Don't mean to steal your thread, but this is a good opportunity for more pics of Bodies in White.
When was the last time you could do this with GM??

It is a turn-key, real life COPO, drag car! [ QUOTE ] When was the last time you could do this with GM?? [/ QUOTE ] You could buy a F-Body BIW in 2001.

Re: 2011 COPO Camaro
I think the big hang up for most folks is gonna be the "no vin" thing...and, I'm guessing no interior, etc?
As a racer I can appreciate it (this announcement is about 6 months too late!), but I'm afraid it might limit the customer base severely?

If anyone is planning to buy one of these they need to be a racer or serious collector. They will not be street legal and cannot ever be tagged. If built, they will come with a full interior (per Stock Eliminator rules). I'm sure that they will get a serial number.

[/ QUOTE ] Ford has had zero problems selling 100 Cobra Jets and Dodge has sold 100 Drag Pack Challengers. Both companies are thinking about doing more. Gm's timeline reflects their situation as a company. This was actually going to happen last Spring!
