by The 2016 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is equipped with a 1,300 hp engine, and you can purchase it.
It cannot be used on the streets, but it has significant racing history.
Additionally, it comes with a laptop containing all data logs and settings ever used in this car.
With its impressive 1,300 horsepower (969 kW), this factory Camaro makes even the mighty Demon 170 on E85 look slightly more aggressive. Moreover, it is a rare COPO option, meaning there are less than 70 such cars. But wait, there’s more: this beast comes with a rich racing history, a recently updated engine, and a reliable laptop that is sure to come in handy.
Heading to Mecum’s Glendale 2025 auction this weekend, it was once a racing car of none other than Erica Enders. Yes, the same Erica Enders, who has won the NHRA championship six times. As a result, the car contains her signature on the dashboard, as well as photos of her at the wheel and proof of ownership for closing the deal.
During her time with Chevrolet, she made several runs in less than 8.5 seconds on the drag strip. That’s serious speed, and that’s why it comes with so many safety features, including a full safety cage, appropriate racing harness, and a fuel shut-off switch.
Here’s another tidbit: the laptop. It’s not just a random device; it has been with this car throughout the years and contains a treasure trove of racing logs, settings, and performance data – everything a professional racing team uses to perfect the air, fuel, and timing relationships. It’s an interesting window into how professional racing teams manage power, stay on track, and shift gears.
So, while Erica Enders was the last person to race in this Camaro, the question is – could you be next? The car will be auctioned on March 22. The full listing can be found . Happy bidding!
