rancakmedia.com – 2022 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Launches With American Automaker's Biggest V8. This Chevrolet Camaro drag race car has an engine with a very large capacity, but it can't be used on the road, you know.

It is called the COPO Camaro, one of the Chevrolet model line-ups that has a history in US drag racing.

COPO, or Central Office Production Order, is commonly used by Chevrolet dealers to order some special specification cars.

But in 1969, the COPO process was used by some Chevrolet COPO Camaro dealers to order several cars for drag racing with large engines.

Now Chevrolet has introduced the 2022 COPO Camaro model year which has several large engine options.

The largest is a normally aspirated Big Block V8 engine with a capacity of 572 cubic inches or 9.373 cc.

Quoting from Car And Driver, the Big Block engine is estimated by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) to have 430 hp. The machine has a monster that can be changed back so it is ready to compete.

It's all yours starting at $105.500 before dealer fees. That may sound expensive for a track toy, but keep in mind that fewer than 700 new COPO Camaros have been built since the program was revived in 2012.

More people own modern Bugattis than Chevrolet COPO Camaros. Surprisingly, Chevy didn't outline power figures for this beast of a machine in its press release. It had made several 572 crate engines, however, the strongest of which produced 727 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque.

The 572 installed on the COPO is fuel injected, which means the energy figure is likely to be higher. We at least know it's revving to 6.750 rpm.

If you prefer to have the supercharged 5,7 ltr, it produces 580 horsepower; 427 naturally aspirated V8 yields 470 rated mobile NHRA.

The Detroit automaker had initially limited sales of the Chevrolet COPO Camaro to just 69 per year, but that's no longer the case.

Because perhaps the future seems uncertain for internal combustion, or because Camaro marketing is in the gutter, Chevy has chosen to accommodate as many loyal customers as possible on a first-come, first-served basis. This will be available from the end of 2021.
