In 2015, Chevrolet brought the fifth generation of the Camaro to an end. That meant the 69 drag-race-only COPO Camaros built in 2015 would be the final fifth-generation racers as well. This car is the 41st built of those 69, and it wears the special Collector’s Appearance Package of Summit White paint, matte gray graphics and a High Voltage Orange accent stripe. Chevrolet offered the 2015 COPO Camaro with a choice of six different crate engine packages. Decals on the carbon-fiber cowl hood let the world know this car is equipped with a 350 CI LSX motor force-fed by a 2.9L Whipple twin-screw supercharger.
The bottom end in the cast-iron block was built to withstand the blower’s pressure, using a Callies forged 4340 DragonSlayer crankshaft, Callies forged H-beam Ultra connecting rods (turning on Callies H-series main bearings) and Mahle forged dome pistons. A Comp Cams billet hydraulic camshaft controls the valvetrain, while an Automotive Eliminator fuel pump ensures plenty of fuel for quarter-mile blasts. The LSX is joined to an ATI TH400 3-speed automatic transmission—controlled by a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter—which sends power back to a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end with an aluminum center section.
All the COPO Camaros were built using the same body-in-white as the production Camaros, though the cars were stripped of many of their road-going components, like their independent rear suspensions, to make way for a racing chassis and NHRA-mandated safety equipment. The COPO Camaro is suspended using Strange double-adjustable coilover shocks, and Strange also supplied the car’s brake system, which is augmented by a parachute. Wheelie bars keep the car earthbound when those meaty Hoosier slicks hook up. Those, and the Hoosier front-runners, are mounted on up-level black COPO wheels. The driver is protected inside by a NHRA-certified chromoly roll cage.
The modern COPO Camaro’s build quantities have historic roots: 69 are built in each model year in tribute to the 69 ZL1 Camaros built in 1969 with all-aluminum 427 CI engines.
