"Chevrolet Announces COPO Availability to Dealers"

[Andys dad]

Has NHRA approved it "officially" in the class guide?

I mean I know it will be just wondering - 450HP? or 350HP?

Exactly,

It seems that fools and their money are easily parted. If the buyers hope to purchase this car with the intention of flipping it to make some cash or hold on to it as an original for a few years based on speculation that's fine.

But to purchase this combo based on the theory that it will be NHRA competitive or dominant is a huge gamble. What is the extent of GM's participation after the sale???? What is the NHRA rated HP??? How well do these cars actually perform???

One could easily fork out the cash for one of these cars and never qualify in the top 16 !!! I would want GM to step up and show me what I am buying. Remember: The best place to buy a race car is at the end of the track at the scales. Where's the beef??

I am sure you won't be treated as poorly as Chrysler Canada treated us Drag Pak buyers! Best of luck to you all!

I dont know why any dealer would want any part of this if there was'nt anything in it for them( shut out from the beginning). If this was done by a random drawing by Chevrolet and like you say you have to go to the factory to pick up then why is the dealer even involved!!! (I think) Ford and chrysler gave the dealers allocation for the product and let them sell as they seen fit. And not all dealers received one.

I would bet most of these never see the race track. For an investment they might be better than the Mustangs if they only make 69 of them.

The investment is if GM only builds 69 of them, what happens next year when they decide to build 180 of them? Sort of like the Mustangs.

Only time will tell on investment potential. There is a very good chance that they will build a limited run each year at least until the next Camaro revision.

Ordered mine today If competitive great if not still worth more than I paid in the long run

The COPO on eBay did not receive one bid. As far as money is concerned they will perform about as well as any other drag car.
