If you want to tear up the drag strip, the Chevrolet COPO Camaro is the perfect tool for the job. Since 2012, Chevrolet has revived the COPO Camaro name as a tribute to the legendary 1969 original. Back then, the COPO Camaro was created thanks to a loophole in General Motors' special Central Office Purchase Order system that allowed dealers to order performance parts that would normally be unavailable.

The result was the legendary 1969 ZL-1 COPO Camaro. Limited to 69 units, the original COPO Camaro packed an all-aluminum ZL1 427 V8 engine rated at 425 horsepower. Normally, the modern-day COPO Camaro is limited to 69 examples as a homage to the original 1969 car - but not for the 2022 model year.

For 2022, production of the COPO Camaro will not be limited. Chevrolet will accept orders on a first-come, first-serve basis, making it much easier to buy one. Before, you had to enter your name into a lottery and be randomly selected by Chevrolet before you were given the opportunity to secure an order, so making Chevrolet's drag racing monster more widely accessible is a very welcome change. This isn't the only change Chevrolet is introducing to the 2022 COPO Camaro either.

For the first time, the latest model can be fitted with a massive 572 cubic inch Big Block 9.4-liter V8 engine. Unfortunately, Chevrolet hasn't revealed how much power this unit produces, but the 572 is offered as a crate motor available with outputs of 621 hp and 727 hp.

Other engine options include a 350-cubic-inch 5.7-liter supercharged V8 produces rated at 580 hp and a 427-cubic-inch 7.0-liter-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivers good for 470 hp. Power goes out through an ATI Racing Products TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet is already accepting orders for the 2022 COPO Camaro, with pricing for the 572 variant starting at $105,500. The naturally aspirated 427, on the other hand, starts at $117,500, while the supercharged 350 will set you back $130,000. Since it's a dedicated drag racer eligible for NHRA Stock and Super Stock eliminators, the 2022 COPO Camaro is not street legal.
