I know there are some that will participate, but there are 69 of them out there !!! I'm afraid that Chevrolet needs a better way to determine who gets them and it should be dependent on the persons desire and ability to campaign them, much like they did in '63 with the Z-11s; and such that they will be a threat to the CJ Fords and MOPARS. I'm afraid that many were just investors that never had racing intentions.

This is also the first full season for the COPO. You have to keep in mind that the deliveries didn't start until late last year. Not a lot of time to dial in a new combination. I think you will see a lot more racing as the year goes on. ![]() ![]() Last edited by GUMP; 03-13-2013 at 08:31 AM. |

That's what Patterson has. They put the new Holley system in it, like I'm told the 2013 comes with. Got the start up, idle, burn out and launch cleaned up at their shop Monday. Was very rich with the GM 2013 427" COPO calibration. Going to the track here Friday to verify the WOT dyno tuning. Very nice cars. Very fast right out of the box. They put the original engine away, and built a new one. Should be at No Problem next week.
Eight second Stocker like it came if you want to lean on it. Glad I don't have to race them heads up. Guess your fast now. LOL

Connolly had a FAST ECU & system installed also. Patterson still had the GM MEFI ECU, with a few tuning tweaks. Engines were untouched.
