Review: 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 70th Anniversary Special Edition
America's sports car never looked better
Chevrolet is cranking up the Camaro.
The bowtie brand has unveiled a new version of its iconic sport coupe with the most-powerful V8 engine it has ever built.
The big caveat is that this Camaro cannot be driven on the street.
The 2023 COPO Camaro is a factory drag racer specifically designed for competition and not legal for road use.

The engine was launched last year as a crate motor sold for racing car builders at a suggested retail price of $37758.72, but this is the first time it is being offered with the rest of a car attached.
Pricing has not been announced, but reservations are currently being accepted with a $15,000 deposit and the top COPO Camaro offered in 2022 was listed at $105,500 with a 727 hp 572 cubic-inch V8.
