The COPO Camaro is only sold through U.S. dealerships. The COPO Camaro is a purpose-built race car which is not street legal and therefore can not be registered in any of the 50 states. The COPO Camaro is sold without a title, on a Bill of Sale, and does not have a VIN.

A 632 old tech BBC, fitted with EFI, could never , ever be a street legal, dealer sold automobile in 2023.
First of all , it would knock the CAFE standards way out of whack for the smaller engine Camaros down line.
It's nothing more than a factory experimental platform being used to promote crate motors. No way, in any scope or fashion, does this car belong in STOCK Eliminator
Keep this nonsense up and they will be allowing FX Comp cars in Stock in a few years.
I'm sure you'll jump on that too, right?

Last year I took delivery of the very first Big Block COPO built. I didn't buy it to wreck Stock Eliminator. I got it because it is historic. As it was placed in the guide, we have been racing it. Being honest, have you seen us do anything with that car that harms the Class?

Note that I favor the combinations that are based on the production castings. I think that you would agree that we run those cars pretty hard at times?

I will add that I was very involved in getting the 2015 Camaro into the guide. I caught massive crap for that one too!

In answer to your your questions, I hope that, somehow, the OEMs find a way to keep producing at least limited numbers of ICE cars geared towards performance. I would happily race natural Stockers.

I also hope that we will have a place to race long into the future.
