2016 COPO Camaro Will Be Acutioned to Benefit United Way

BAY CITY, Mich. – Chevrolet is giving back in a big way this week! The 2016 COPO Camaro will be auctioned to benefit United Way. Every penny made from the auction will go towards United Way.

If you’re not sure what the COPO Camaro is, think power and performance. The Camaro is designed to race in the NHRA Stock Eliminator class. These COPO Camaros are special because each is built by hand starting with the production hardware. The COPO Camaro get its name from the Central Office Production Order system used in the 1960's for fleet managers to order special or unusual combinations of parts. Dealers often use this system to pack high performance powertrains into production Camaros.

The 2016 COPO Camaro is actually a sixth-generation legacy that was introduced at the SEMA show last November. The car has a look that was created by Chevrolet and NHRA Funny Car driver, Courtney Force. The Camaro stands out with a red hot exterior, Courtney Force signature graphics, and a red-accented grille trim.

Courtney Force is very excited about this car saying, “I was extremely honored to work with Chevrolet and help design the 2016 COPO Camaro. The bright red color and the signature slash marks towards the back on the car bring a part of my Traxxas Chevrolet Camaro Funny Car to the COPO Camaro, which I think is really cool. The proceeds from this car go to a great cause and benefit the United Way, so it's an awesome project all around." 

The carbon fiber high-ride hood hides a 350 racing engine with a Whipple 2.9L supercharger. Inside the cabin is a chrome-moly roll cage, lightweight bucket seats personalized with the COPO logo and Courtney Force’s signature, a five-point safety harnesses, and a floor-mounted shifter for the THM-350 automatic transmission.

The 2016 COPO Camaro will be auctioned to benefit United Way on Friday, January 29^th at 7PM. If you’re looking for something more family friendly, check out the 2016 Chevy Equinox or the 2016 Chevy Tahoe. Graff Bay City will help you find a great vehicle for you!

Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Flowtie

BAY CITY, Mich.– When Chevy's team got to work on the 2014 Camaro Z/28, they faced quite the challenge– to make sure it offered even more impressive track performance than its counterparts. But how do you take a vehicle that is already top-of-the-line to the next level? Well, after scrutinizing the performance car lap after lap, the Chevy Camaro Z/28 Flowtie was born!

In a search for ways to improve track performance, some out of the box thinking led to the development of a modified Chevy Bowtie to offer improved aerodynamics. One of the Chevrolet engineers pointed out that the grille placement of the classic Chevy Bowtie was actually displacing air away from the radiator during aerodynamic testing, which was in turn affecting engine cooling. So to improve airflow to the engine, the team came up with the Chevy Camaro Z/28 Flowtie, a modified version of the classic Bowtie, since they agreed removing the Bowtie altogether wasn't a valid option.

The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Flowtie design features just the chrome bowtie outline, leaving the center of the badge open. Aerodynamic testing revealed that this modification allows three additional cubic meters of air into the engine per minute, resulting in a 2 degree drop in engine coolant and oil temperatures! The 2014 Z/28 is more capable than ever, and the modified bowtie is just one example of how the car will bring improved performance to the track!

If you can't wait to get your hands on one, you won't have to wait long because the Z/28 will be hitting the streets this spring, and we can help hook you up! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R Makes Racing Debut

BAY CITY, Mich.- A new chapter begins in racing this week as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R makes its racing debut at the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in Daytona! Sharing many similar elements with the 2014 Camaro Z/28, the new Z/28.R will be one of the most production based competitors on the track!

This Friday, the Camaro Z/28 will return to its roots as the new Z/28.R debuts in a 2.5-hour endurance race to kick off the 12-race 2014 season. Staying true to their racing roots, the 2014 Camaro Z/28 and Z/28.R were developed alongside eachother, incorporating many of the same performance elements. This resulted in the 2014 Camaro Z/28 being the most track-capable Camaro ever, and the Z/28.R being the closest to a production-spec race car that you will find! Aside from series-mandated equipment needed for endurance racing, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R makes its racing debut with most of the same specifications as the Z/28, like the same downforce-generating aero package and LS7 7.0L V8 engine.

Through hard-fought victories, the original Camaro Z/28 became an iconic performance car, and the production of the Z/28.R stays true to its roots as the new model heads out to kick off a new chapter in racing! To get your hands on its production counterpart this spring, stop by our Chevrolet Dealership where we can help you with Auto Loans for your dream car! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

2014 Chevy Camaro Receives KBB's Best Resale Value Award

BAY CITY, Mich.- The dream of owning a modern-day muscle car can now become your reality when you know that you'll get the best return on your investment! But how do you know that you'll get the best resale value? The 2014 Chevy Camaro received KBB’s Best Resale Value Award in the sports car category!

An important aspect to consider when purchasing a sports car is the vehicle's residual value, and Kelley Blue Book awarded the Camaro V6 with the Best Resale Value for exactly that reason, the sports car’s high residual value! The 2014 Chevy Camaro earned KBB's Best Resale Value Award because after three years the car retains 64.3 percent of its original value, and after five years retains 50.3 percent of its original value! A combination of the vehicle's stlying, multi-link rear suspension, V6 LFX engine, and competitive $24,500 base price explain why the Camaro retains such a high residual value.

2014 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Program Announced

BAY CITY, Mich.- Last week, Chevy debuted an array of passenger cars turned high-performance concept cars at SEMA 2013, but the automaker really impressed show-goers and Camaro fans all over when they announced the 2014 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Program! In 2014, the COPO Camaro Program will return with limited production of factory-produced race cars for the third year!

Chevrolet announced the 2014 COPO Camaro Program models will feature the same updated styling features as the newest Camaro, including new front and rear fascias. New to the COPO Camaro Program this year will be the two new racing engine choices which make the cars more competitive. The 2014 race cars will also feature new racing seats, updated graphics, and a new wheel design. While looks impress, safety is the most important so each car will be fitted with an NHRA-approved roll cage along with other safety equipment. But most notably, each of the 2014 COPO Camaros will be built by hand!

As in the previous COPO Camaro Programs, only a limited number of the high-performance race cars will be produced for 2014. Specifically, only 69 2014 COPO Camaros will be built for NHRA Stock Eliminator and Super Stock competition. If you've been waiting to get your hands on a COPO Camaro since last year, make sure to get your name on the COPO mailing list at chevroletperformance.com! It's the only way to get one of the new race cars!

For those interested in serial number 1 of the limited 2014 run, it's going to cost you a little bit more! But it's all for a good cause. Serial number 1 of the 2014 COPO Camaro run is set to be auctioned off by Chevrolet Performance at the Barrett-Jackson annual January event. All of the proceeds from the sale of the first 2014 COPO Camaro will benefit the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans!

Custom Chevrolet Camaro Featured In DreamWorks Animation's 'Turbo'

 

BAY CITY, Mich.- DreamWorks' latest animation highlights an engine revving collaboration with Chevrolet to help power a little snail named Turbo. The feature film that bears the little snail's name features a custom Chevy Camaro as well as Chevrolet-powered Indy cars! It goes without saying that the automaker is excited about the collaboration and the Custom Chevrolet Camaro featured in DreamWorks Animation's 'Turbo'!

In fact, Chevy is so excited about the alliance that they have created a special real-life replica of the custom Camaro featured in the film. And in order to enhance the film's authentic racing environment, Chevy consulted with DreamWorks on the design of the animated vehicles.

In the one of the summer's most anticipated films, Chevy plays an integral role in two of the film's key moments. First, the custom Chevy Camaro shines on the big screen during an encounter with Turbo, after which the little snail receives his speed. Then, later in the film, the classic Chevrolet "bow-tie" logo is featured in the scenes set at the Indianapolis 500. Paralleling the movie, the Chevy bow-tie was prominently featured at the Indy 500 last weekend!

In a film about a slow snail who dreams of being fast, the custom Chevrolet Camaro featured in DreamWorks Animation's 'Turbo' gives the film's hero his first taste of high-speed driving on the open road. To experience the custom Camaro replica in real life, look out for the muscle car's appearance at auto shows and events across the U.S.

Inspired by Turbo? Make your dreams a reality too by driving home in your very own 2013 Chevy Camaro from our Birch Run Area Chevrolet Dealership! We have tons of New Chevrolet Cars in stock and can help with Special Financing.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Spy Shots

BAY CITY, Mich.- We saw the updated 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS and Z/28 at the New York Auto Show, but what about the rest of the lineup? The latest 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Spy Shots give us a better idea of what to expect for the 1LE, ZL1, and RS models, revealing some updated and some current features.

The 2014 Chevy Camaro 1LE looks like it will keep its current blacked-out hood and matte-black rear spoiler, but will adopt some of the new features that debuted on the Camaro SS like the revised lower front fascia, hood vent, and slim grille. As far as power, we expect the 2014 Camaro 1LE to keep its 426 HP 6.2-liter V8 engine.

The 2014 Chevy Camaro ZL1, however, won't receive the updated front end since Chevrolet felt that changing the front fascia could have caused issues related to the packaging of its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and would have required too much extra work to improve aerodynamics. But, the 2014 Camaro ZL1 will receive the new CHMSL lights above the license plate area and on top of the trunk lid.

Last but not least, the 2014 Camaro RS prototype loses the SS' hood vent but adds two more exhaust outlets, amping up the curb appeal with 4 exhaust outlets. Keeping the same bold five-spoke wheels, the RS fog light trim appears to be much more simpler that that on the more powerful models.

Chevrolet's muscle car lineup will be getting some updates for 2014 as we can see in the latest Chevrolet Camaro Spy Shots! If you can't wait for the Camaro 1LE, ZL1, and RS to hit the streets, check out our 2013 Chevy Camaro Brochure, or stop by to take one for a spin at your Midland Area Chevrolet Dealer!
