Video: 2016 COPO Camaro Validation In Forida – Bellowing Wheels Up Fury!

The factory drag car wars have officially gone nuclear as Chevrolet Performance has released this video of a 2016 COPO Camaro in plain white making “validation” runs at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida. The videos show a car that pulls big wheelies, thunders like you’d want it to, and leaves in the picture perfect way a stocker making huge power should. There’s no twist, no flex, not a hint of wasted motion, just 100% weight transfer onto the rear tires and off she goes.

The 2016 COPO Camaro should be the quickest and the fastest one ever produced. It is smaller in nearly every dimension, far lighter, and as technology and engineering advances are made with each successive version of the car, they always pick up speed and drop in the elapsed time department.

No numbers are given in this video but when you look at the reaction of the engineers checking the time slip at the end of the video you’ll understand why we think other competitors should be scared out there. If we had to guess what they were looking at it had to either do with an established index, an established performance standards their crosstown rivals in Dearborn had set, or an established national record that these cars will be blowing up like a piñata.

2016 is going to be a Detroit based slug fight across the country with blown Drag Packs, fresh COPOs, and the always potent Cobra Jets. These are the glory days and this video confirms it!

    There’s probably another tenth in that car, just from the weight savings if you take all the Go-Pro’s off of it:)

    It makes me smile every time I see a FORD nine inch diff under a FACTORY Chevrolet 🙂

    All of the factory drag cars are cool, but you can build and/or buy an 8 sec. drag car for less than the 100k + they ask for them.
