Only 69 real ZL1 COPO Camaros ever left Chevrolet in 1969, each hiding an all-aluminum 427 that cost more than the car itself. Priced out of an original, the MuscleCar team joined forces with Chevrolet Performance to build one from a bare shell. Here is how the most expensive loophole in muscle car history roared back to life.
The dyno pull is thrilling right up until it goes catastrophically wrong, and this 1,000-horsepower nitrous Camaro ZL1 delivers exactly that. Built in the GuitarmageddonZL1 world and run with Complete Street Performance, the car pushes a factory supercharged monster far past where the engineers signed off by piling nitrous on top. Strapped to the rollers with boost building, the run carries the tension of a burning fuse. Watch to see what four figures of horsepower look like when they finally let go.
