GM Brings Back COPO Program

Redline Dodge is running a cool retrospective on the 2.2L compacts on which Carroll Shelby collaborated with Dodge in the 80s under Lee Iacocca. I've always wanted an Omni GLH, and I also kind of dig this Shelby Shadow (known as the CSX), which was mentioned in the article but not pictured. Interesting point: "Looking back, one could argue that Dodge and Shelby created the FWD Tuner market over two decades ago." Read the rest here.

GM Brings Back COPO Program

GM has made the decision to bring back the iconic COPO program. For those unfamiliar with this program, COPO stands for central office production order, meaning that dealerships can custom order a car according to their wants/needs. Most of the time they were used for taxi, police or trucks. However some dealerships used it for Camaros, Corvettes or Chevelles to create high-powered street cars that are factory correct. Over the years the program died down. However GM is bringing it back for the Camaro. Just think, you could soon order a bare-bones camaro with a 427 capable of detroying any street car!

If I could get a newer Camaro I would get it almost bottom of the line anyways but the most performance I could get. I don't give a shit about leather seats, a luxury interior, built-in GPS, bluetooth or any other BS like that. Now GM just needs the Yenko Camaro again and it will be all set lol.
