Will the 572 be rated at 280 hp for G, H and I Stock?

Interesting comment. Wasn't there a time when you wanted one?

Confusing me with someone else, shouldn't you be more careful of the facts, counselor.

fs/c, fs/d,fs/e at 430 nhra hp 3500 shipping weight.

Should be the first fs/e car to run 2.5 seconds under index at 160mph

At 430 HP it would be a joke when the 427 LS N/A was rated at 470 HP at its inception.

Too fast for Super Comp so must be aimed at Top Sportsman.

My bad. Since I got the wrong Tosto, I'll just say your comment was out of line and leave it at that.

Sorry I hit a nerve. I like to work on my Stocker with the hood open, you with the passenger door open. My original comment wasn't directed at you, you made it personal. I'm Tony Tosto #5302 AA/S, A/S, B/S, H/SA,G/SA, all 69 Camaros. I personally like the COPOs, just wish the factors were more realistic. 572/750/430 really?

Yet this one is. It has the same MO as your earlier comment.

Too Bad these cars come with only a 7.50 certified cage when you spend somewhere north of $115,000.00.

The 572 makes about as much power per cubic inch as the '69 350/255. The 572 makes .023 hp per cubic inch more than the 69 350/255.

Now that is progress using an ECM. Impressive!

Re: Return of the COPO
 
We’re those the ones that were recalled for lack of power?

Re: Return of the COPO
 
Guys I started this post to let everyone know that Chevrolet was 'back in the game' - and not to argue over horse powers -yes , I must agree that the 572 is rated by the GM folks a bunch low but you must also agree that all of the 'big 3' have been guilty of this practice over the years .All that plus the horse power is only Chevrolet's number not the official one used and accepted by the NHRA as far as I know so we'll see.

I guess my real point is that since the manufactures are in the game Stock and SuperStock have received more attention than ever and that can't be bad .
