Chevy Building 69 COPO Camaros for 2012

Chevy just announced that they are building 69 COPO Camaros for 2012 and they’re expected to be the quickest Camaros offered. The Camaros are Chevy’s first purpose-built Camaro drag-racing specialty car designed to compete with the quickest in NHRA’s Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes. The 69-car production for the 2012 COPO Camaro actually matches the number of “ZL-1” COPO Camaros made in 1969. COPO is short for Central Office Production Order, which was the special-order system that Chevy dealers used to build high-performance models in the 1960s. The COPO Camaros will be built using factory “body-in-white” body structures that are the same body shells available to all racers under Chevrolet Performance. Delivers for the COPO Camaros will begin in summer.
