Prepare To Say Goodbye To The COPO Camaro

It was almost a year ago when the2020 COPO Camaro John Force Editiondebuted at Chevy's display at the 2019 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Chevy also celebrated 50 years of the drag race-ready, NHRA-sanctionedCOPO Camaroin 2019 (although the program was only re-launched in 2012 with the then-fifth generation Camaro). And then came the one-off, all-electric eCOPO Camaro. Could this hardcore electric vehicle provide a clue for the future of drag racing? Perhaps, but what seems to be quite clear is that the COPO Camaro program as we know is coming to an end.

As first reported by Dragzine, Chevy has issued a "last call" for the 2020 COPO Camaro, and its choice of words indicates the conclusion of an era.

"Now is the time to become a member of an elite club - the COPO Camaro family. This is your chance to own a piece of drag racing history. With fewer than 650 in existence, the track use only COPO Camaro is a work of art handcrafted for you by GM engineers, making it the perfect addition to your collection or racing team. Stand out in your 2020 COPO Camaro with more color options than ever before: two John Force inspired options, four base colors, and seven historic paint schemes honoring the original 1969 COPO Camaro. It's time to be the center of attention."

Also, Chevrolet Performance COPO and Promotions Manager Todd Gallant confirmed that only "a couple of handfuls" of 2020 COPO Camaros are left, although he didn't provide a precise figure.
