8A - 8 speed automatic
MRC - Magnetic Ride Control
Nav - Navigation (GPS)
NPP - ?
RVK - ?

NPP is technically Performance Exhaust System, however most call it dual mode exhaust.

M6 is more common acronym than 6M for Manual 6 speed transmissions.
A10 as well, for the Auto 10 speed transmissions.

RVK is the LPO for Performance Air Intake

Hope that helps clear up the acronyms!

After asking some hard questions of whether I really needed 650 HP, the added fuel costs, insurance(especially since I have a 16yr old about to start driving) tire costs all for a daily driver. I decided I would be happy with a regular SS. It just happened that a dealership had the Hot Wheels sitting on the lot, figured it was meant to be and bought it.

A8, NPP, Nav, Sunroof, Mag Ride. It sounds good, looks better. The Orange interior accents are killer. I'm happy.

Welcome to the group and congratulations! They didn't offer it in a ZL1 because it would be another build with different parts and basically would slow down the line & as well possible confusion issues with building. Got that info directly from a person at GM. The reason could do it on the COPO is it is built at a different facility...and a little bit of information is the regular SE design team was not the ones who designed the HotWheels COPO (am sure it is a sore subject with the regular SE design team, not that they would share that...but it would be for me if in their shoes). As well the color of the COPO shown at SEMA is not going to be the actual COPO HotWheels color, they are getting the same Crush orange as us.

Still waiting on a status code, but I guess this means I'm joining the Hot Wheels club

On a side note, anyone in southern ontario want a 2011 Dodger Charger R/T with low mileage

More details to follow ...

Congrats on placing an order! There is a great Camaro group in Ontario area, they are the Western Canada Camaro Club on Facebook. Very active and close knit. They like to go to the track and have some great cars. Tell them that Lenore sent you over!

Have not really every been an orange fan, and was disappointed it was not going to be Metallic or be like the SEMA COPO Orange. Regardless, am a HotWheels fan so ordered a Vert anyways. Once I saw it in person and got it...fell in LOVE again (we have a 2013 HotWheels Coupe and a 2017 FIFTY Vert, which I LOVE too!). The color really pops, is very eye catching, and of course attention grabbing.


As for handling, all three of ours are 2SS. The 2013 had 21" wheels, it was very stiff and while not rough, was not super smooth on the roads, but is a great drag racing vehicle because it is an Auto. The 2017 we did not get MRC on & is an M6, but the suspension and handling is far smoother & more comfortable driving than the 2013. Now for the 2018 with MRC & is an M6, love being able to have it in touring mode for long freeway driving so do not feel the bumps as much, but have the exhaust on Sport or Track mode to have a beefier sound. As well, being able to change the suspension and steering to sport or track mode when on curvy/fun roads is really a bonus.


In summary, live your life and enjoy it with what makes you happy/feel good, and drive whatever car suits your mood (as I most definitely do!).

I bought a 2008 Challenger the first year they came out and a Hellcat last September so I was also a Challenger nut. He told me when i called him he wanted to come to my house and smack some sense into me that day. Well last week he finally stopped by my shop, (He is also my outside heavy truck tire salesmen so I knew he would show up someday), he walks in and says "let me see the care that made you loose your mind you trader". I showed him mine and my wifes. His eyes lit up and he asked a lot of questions. Then he surprised me and asked to take it for a ride. he was like a kid in a candy store, within minutes he had me on the phone to the dealer we bought ours from to see if they had one. Within 3 hours he was at the dealer trading in his 2012 Challenger SRT8 for the exact same car as mine to the penny. Sticker $51,240. He loves the car. He cant stop talking about it.
The challenger is a great car but it handles horribly. Add 707 HP to it it becomes dangerous. I loved my Hellcat but the Camaro is a blast to drive. I ordered Borla Atack and Powerstop front and rear pads and rotors. They should be here Tuesday 5/24 and i will install them this weekend, And you guessed it my friend ordered the same. SO FUNNY

Great Story! Am so glad you all came over to the Camaro side
