Wheelie-popping $105K Chevrolet COPO Camaro debuts ... but you can't drive it on the street

The 2022 Chevrolet COPO Camaro will be offered with a 572 cubic-inch V8. The track-only drag racer has a list price of $105,500.

The street-illegal machine is the latest in a series of track cars that dates back to the 1969 original and was rebooted in 2012. The 572 engine features a cast iron block, aluminum heads, forged steel connecting rods and crankshaft plus forged aluminum pistons. Its official power rating hasn't been released, but there's a crate version of this motor listed at 727 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque. However much the one in the car has, all of it is sent to the rear wheels through a three speed automatic transmission and there's enough torque to pop a wheelie off the starting line. The price for this thrill ride is $105,500 and, while previous COPOs were limited to just 69 examples, Chevrolet will sell as many of these as it can. (That's probably a good idea, seeing as how the street Camaros haven't been doing so well lately.)
