Chevrolet COPO Camaro Runs 8s Quarter Mile

The Chevrolet COPO Camaro is definitely one of those cars that manages to tear up the drag strip even in stock form. The proof lies in the adjacent video, which shows a COPO Camaro running a quarter mile in 8.88 seconds.
The car was pulled straight out of the box, using a 4.0-liter supercharger for its 327 cubic inch (5.3-liter) V8 powerplant. Of course, we have to compare with the competitions and things are looking good for the GM bad boy. This is because the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet needs under 10 seconds for the quarter mile game, while the Dodge Challenger Drag Pak completes the task in 9.43 seconds.

The clip allows us to see the COPO Camaro at full throttle, so we’re inviting you to turn up the volume before hitting the “play” button.
