2015 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Unveiled at the SEMA Show

Chevrolet chose the SEMA Show to unveil the 2015 COPO Camaro, a limited-run car built for professional drag racing. Only 69 units will be built, and sadly they are not road-legal.

Here is what separates the ultimate straight-line Camaro from its regular brethren:

• Also: 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible: Almost The Whole Enchilada
• Also: 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Commemorative Edition: The Mustachioed Muscle Car

• No interior panels or sound deadening
• No aerodynamic panels under the vehicle, and no sealant
• No rear seats
• Solid rear axle
• Safety rollcage
• Braking parachute
• Huge rear slicks
• A TH400 3-speed automatic gearbox (or a 4-speed manual)

Under the hood, lucky buyers who have the chance to get their hands on one of the 69 COPO Camaros (each one will be randomly selected from a pool of interested buyers) will have to choose between six different powerplants, each tailored to be extremely competitive in one of the NHRA’s divisions. From the 5.7 litre, 350-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 to the supercharged 530 horsepower unit or the 7 litre, 430 horsepower LSX mill, there is an engine to satisfy everyone.

Official pricing has yet to be announced, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it sold for over $80,000.
