2016 COPO Camaro undergoes testing at Bradenton Motorsports Park
Via theblock
2016 COPO Spotted! Testing for Another Year of Dominance We’re here on site in Bradenton, Florida at Bradenton Motorsports Park as Chevrolet Performance engineers test the new 2016 COPO Camaro. Saying these guys have the dream job would be an understatement - this is a must-see event! But since it’s private, we’ve opted to bring you some behind the scenes photos of the new beast in action. If you’ve been following along on The BLOCK, you would have seen some of our coverage of the new COPO. The first ever sixth-gen COPO was unveiled at SEMA last year, and by none other than famed drag racer John Force’s daughter, Courtney Force. This modern-looking machine infuses legendary COPO performance with the new, modern design of the 2016 Camaro. The SEMA version held a personalized look, created by the 27-year old NHRA Funny Car driver Courtney Force, and will be auctioned off at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale with the proceeds going to the United Way. The COPO program (part number: 20169560) returns for 2016. Register for a chance to be one of only 69 to purchase a 2016 COPO by clicking here. The fifth-generation COPO Camaro concept was first shown at the 2011 SEMA Show, where an overwhelming response inspired the decision for a limited, special-edition production run. Its success continued in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Now, for 2016, new COPO Camaros will be headed to the drag strip to carry on the tradition and showcase the modern design and tighter curves of the sixth-generation Camaro. The Courtney Force Concept COPO Camaro featured the below: Exterior:

Man, they really had to shoe-horn the design of that hood to fit the existing body lines of the 2016 bumper.

All of the "Factory" class cars are looking promising this year.
What's really interesting is only the COPO and Challenger have N/A versions right now...the Cobra Jet is SC only. However, Ford did reveal a 5.2 CPC based race motor rated at 585 HP at the PRI show...it wouldn't shock me if that went into a 2017 N/A Cobra Jet. |

FWIW...that looks like either the LT1 or 427 version.

The 350 and the 427 both have Aeromotive fuel systems! My buddy worked on that fuel system layout!

I know the COPO is traditionally based of a base, stripper car...but man that base bumper and non RS (SS) headlight assemblies just don't look good. An SS bumper and the RS (SS) headlight assemblies would look way better...
