Happy Birthday to the Chevy Colorado!

BAY CITY, Mich. -- This November the Chevrolet Colorado turns 4!

It includes LT trim, a monochromatic exterior offset, a black beltline, body side moldings, a black tailgate bowtie, in addition to, Colorado and RST badges. It's also the first Colorado to offer 20-inch wheels, finished in a low-gloss black.

Chevy Commemorates Their 50 Year Performance Legacy with 2019 COPO Camaro

BAY CITY, Mich. -- Chevy celebrates 50 years of the COPO Camaro legacy with a special edition that pays homage to the original 1969 COPO. A bonafide throwback, it features a metallic blue exterior, reminiscent of the inaugural Laguna blue, an orange engine block, chrome valve covers and a black, high-rise intake manifold. Unveiled at SEMA, this model highlights new and time-honored pieces of Chevy's large performance catalog.

The COPO program got it's start in the late 60's when Fred Gibb, a Chevy dealer in Illinois utilized the company's special order program to build the first-recognized, performance Camaro. His goal was to produce a car with more competitive edge in Stock Eliminator drag racing, which he accomplished by installing the ZL1 427 engine.

Getting the project approved by Chevrolet came with a large amount of red tape. In order to make the engine eligible for NHRA competition, at least 50 models of the car were required to be offered for sale to the public. While this may not seem like a large obstacle, the suped-up muscle car was twice the cost of a standard Camaro-making it a hard sell for the general public. To Gibb's shock, he sold 13 models, and the other 37 were redistributed to other dealers.

Since then, the COPO has become a yearly release tradition and has continued to preface the ever-growing hype around specially-built performance vehicles. The 2019 COPO Camaro features a distinct, model-specific front end design and revised version of the supercharged LSX-based 350 engine that includes a 2.65L Magnuson supercharger.

In keeping with tradition, only 69 2019 COPO Camaro race cars will be built. Want one of your own? You can register to buy here: https://bit.ly/2yXVIl1

Chevy Colorado ZR2 Makes Competitive Debut

BAY CITY, Mich.,–– The "Vegas to Reno" race, the largest off-road race in the United States, broadcasted on August 19th. In the competition, over 350 participants compete in a 550 mile off-road race from Las Vegas to Reno. From mountain passes to desert wallows to dry lake beds, drivers put their vehicles to the test in a heated competition. The Chevy Colorado ZR2 made its competitive debut and received a 1st Place Best In Class award, finishing with 18 hours, 50 minutes, and 16 seconds on the clock.

Out of the 350 participants in the race, only 204 vehicles made it through the challenging track. The Colorado ZR2 that participated in the race was modified with an upgraded roll cage, racing body-mandated safety harness, a 44-gallon racing fuel tank, racing lights, a GPS system, and a two-way radio. The ZR2 was also equipped with upgraded Chevrolet performance features that will be announced at a later date.

“First and foremost, this was a development trip for our engineering team,” said Mark Dickens, executive director of Global Accessories, Performance Variants, Parts & Motorsports, General Motors, who was part of the chase and support team following the race from start to finish at all 14 pit stops.

“ZR2’s performance went beyond our most optimistic expectations, completing Vegas to Reno in its first outing. We learned a lot of things about the truck and could not be happier with the result, as well as the efforts of the Hall Racing team.

“The fact that the Colorado ZR2 was the only stock midsize truck to compete in Vegas to Reno reinforces our claim to be in a segment of one with this vehicle. Our success in this race is a testament to all that we’ve accomplished since the relaunch of our midsize truck program three years ago,” said Dickens. “We cannot wait to pass along the benefits of what we’ve learned here under extreme use and at future races to our customers.”
