This all numbers matching Z28 COPO has been certified by Jerry MacNeish as one of less than 8 known to exist with
all original build sheet to prove authenticity (see pics below). Many claim to have the rare COPO 9796 option but
without original buildsheet or window sticker (as seen here) it's simply hearsay. This Z28 COPO Special Race
Spoiler package for the 1970 Camaro was designed to allow Chevrolet to continue to dominate the SCCA Trans-Am Race
Series. After testing the standard issue D80 short spoiler showed significant lift at speeds in excess of 120MPH.
The new COPO 9796 high spoiler helped down force at higher speeds and was a significant improvement in the areas of
stability and cornering traction in SCCA Trans-Am racing series. In order to comply with SCCA race rules, a limited
number of these cars were built in late April 1970, and starting in June, also included the front spoiler as part
of this package. As shown on the buildsheet and documented by MacNeish, this car was built in late June of 1970.
This example originally finished in Mulsanne Blue, with the optional deluxe blue interior. This COPO Z also retains
its original "born with" LT1, TH400 automatic transmission and 3.73 posi rear. The list of options from the factory
per the buildsheet and MacNeish is as follows:

Z28 Special Engine and equipment
Since MacNeish authenticated this car nearly a decade ago, we've done a lot to get it to the next level, we painted
the car in it's original mulsanne blue with black stripes per build sheet, along with redoing the interior with the
rare correct comfort weave blue with black deluxe interior (sourced the last of the original fabric). We
refurbished the wheels and added the original bias-ply F-60 Firestone wide ovals. This is a rust free car with all
original sheet metal still on the car. The engine has never been out of the car and since she runs amazing as is,
we've opted to keep much of the engine bay original at this time, though as you can see in the pictures, is very
presentable as is. This past summer, we were pleased to have her accepted to the prestigious Hillsborough Concours
D'elegance where the COPO Z placed 3rd in class! (5 point deduction for no fire extinguisher in car, otherwise we
would've placed 2nd or perhaps 1st!)

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
