July '03 feature car
 

What a beatiful COPO. I have never seen this color in person but it looks wonderful. One question - since it is a RS car, should it have the 'rally sport' script on the fenders instead of the 'camaro'?
Enlighten me.

Re: This month's feature car
 

I LOVE THAT COLOR. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE BUT WOW, WHAT A NICE LOOKING CAR!

Re: This month's feature car
 

I have to agree. VERY nice Steve. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Isn't that The Mayor of Fishkills old COPO? Nice ride! I love the color and the tires are neat. Here is an old thread on this car. I think the Ralley Sport emblem question is answered in it.

Re: This month's feature car
 

Thanks Dave, Dan, Rick and Frank for the kind words. Frank, I appreciate the "old forum" attachment post...that was quite a debate a few months ago.

The RS COPO is at the "York MuscleCar Madness" show this weekend. The pics just don't do justice to that Azure Turq. color.

Awesome car and no doubt will look great with the sun setting over it at the All Chevy Show in Seattle next month. Hey wait a min, you forgot what a sunset looks like haven't you. :P [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

When a COPO production order was released to Fisher Body it was for an L78 Camaro SS. A document titled "Exception Control Letter Sheet" outlined the components to be "added" and "deducted" during the production process for COPO 9560 & 9561. Among the items deucted was all SS badging. Since an SS-RS did not have the "rally-sport" fender badges the document deducted the "SS", leaving only the "Camaro" badge.

Re: This month's feature car
 

Steve, got to see the car at York, WOW! Very interesting color. Especially next to a couple of Lemans blue cars.

But, what impressed me the most about that car, and your other two, was after the show ended Sat night, the Latrobe gang out in the parking lot racing your cars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Hey Tom...I heard you were in the parking lot inciting horseplay with that flame throwing, ear-piercing Funny Car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Who, me? I was the one telling them to stop, that the cars are to look at, not drive. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] I think it was Mark who started it, Yes, thats it, Mark started it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

It was indeed Mark, you know how rowdy he gets, always jumpin around going crazy [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Pretty car, but kind of plain lookin with those wheels! I can outrun it and out look it! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Oh no........... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Frank, no brag, just fact. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] BTW, Steve knows I love his car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Bring it on! I've been looking for a loaner car to leave parked at the airport. I've got a couple test/tune slots reserved @ LV Speedway over Labor Day weekend. Look for a red '66 street legal Nova, then brace yourself for a friendly b&%ch slappin'. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

How much are spectator tickets for this race??

Re: This month's feature car
 

Nice pic! Count me in, I'll pay to watch this one!

Re: This month's feature car
 

Steve, after you pick up Jeff, swing by this way and pick me up, Jeff and I can take turns Flying while you rest up for the Big Race.

Re: This month's feature car
 

You wanna bring your Nova? Don't make me bring out the Vega Wagon! Best ET 9.60 @ 134mph. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

I don't think a 9.60 is gonna be enough for the Nova.

Re: This month's feature car
 

That Vega *just might* be enough. If they kill the Nova at the 1/8 mile clocks...

Re: This month's feature car
 

I'm curious, Mike, what does your Camaro run? What kind of bolt ons you got...the usual? (headers, slicks, etc.?)

Re: This month's feature car
 

Lets just say that lil red Nova has a very good chance to get into the 7's that weekend and in front of a hometown crowd. I think the SLOWEST it has run this year is something like 8.53 and has only got faster. 8.133 @ 171.59 in Bakersfield.

Re: This month's feature car
 

With both those cars running those kind of ET's,I would call this match a lil more then a B***ch Slappin.
I'd stand in line for this! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Where do I get a ticket for the slap fest!

Re: This month's feature car
 

Aint no street legal Nova runnin those ETs [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] My Vega ain't street legal either, tho [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] What do ya say Steve, 3 time runs, we dial them and best two out of three wins. Should be interesting! Run you heads up with the camaros but I'm gonna run slicks so you can too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Chevy 454 there ain't no bolt ons on my Camaro. I built this motor from the ground up. The only thing I reused from the 350 was the alternator. I will be giving up 44 cubic inches to the COPO but Steve will be giving up a lot of HP. Ran it one time on the track (5350 real elevation) 90 degrees temp. on BF Goodrich radial T/As. It ran 11.87 @ 115 spinning and fishtailing all the way through through second gear. Oh and by the way, it has polished intake, waterpump, March pulleys and ceramic coated headers, AFR aluminum heads and chrome flex hoses, all braided lines and a Demon Carb. That is the extent of my secrets I am giving up. When I open the hood jaws drop. Perhaps you'd like to stage your Chevelle against it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

69rsss350...got your bolt ons right here! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Might have forgot one small item with the lil red nova, those times are on DOT tires with a good set of slicks mid 7's no doubt

Re: This month's feature car
 

Chrome flex hoses and braided lines? Cool!

Re: This month's feature car
 

The challenge is laid. We dial them, make 3 passes best 2 of 3. Camaros heads up. Make it worth my while, it's only a ten hour drive to Vegas or perhaps you'd like to come to Albuquerque? Steve, sounds like you have a quick Nova [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] but this all started about the Camaros. It would be pretty cool seeing these two Azure Turquoise Black Vinyl top cars going up against each other wouldn't it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Post the combo on the Nova, how big is that turbo? There is a guy down here by the name of Urist that you may have heard of. Too bad he drives a FORD! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

You are missing the point again, Mr. bean counter. I'm sure you don't want any part of it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

69rsss350...Fast and PRETTY [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: This month's feature car
 

01] The motor in my Nova is NOT turbo'd...sure, a little nitrous.

02] My Nova is easily made street legal by licensing it here in Alaska, where exhaust and emmissions are not inspected.

03] I think you miss the point. This all started with you running your mouth about "fast and pretty" and talkin' smack about my car. The only thing your '69 Camaro and mine have in common is the paint color.

04] If I were you, I'd stay on good terms with Marlin...you may need a good accountant to figure how to deduct the undepreciated asset you lost at a 1320 dance.

05] Know this...whatever you bring to the party, I'll bring something faster and prettier. In your words; "No brag, just fact". In my words; when you talk smack, you better have jack!

06] I think this started with semi-friendly banter, but I gotta feeling this debate is now bordering animosity. I'm done posting remarks in a public forum, but I can be reached privately at: [email protected]

Re: This month's feature car
 

Mike do us all a favor. Go out stick your head under your rear wheel of your Camaro and have one of your buddys do a brake torque over your head.
