Of all the factory cars the 572, as delivered, is the least competitive combination. I'm not saying that if I throw a bunch of money at it that it couldn't be made better. I really don't think that it will ever run like Jim B's 396 car.
When I first ordered it, I was told that it was going in the guide at 450 HP. That would have been much more competitive.
But, I didn't buy mine to dominate the qualifying sheets. I had the opportunity to get the first one built. That makes it the first Big Block COPO built since 1969 and I'm thinking the first Big Block Camaro since 1972. Even though it is serial number 004 it was built weeks before the 001 car. The chassis number is F001.
