In their SEMA booth this year, Chevy hyped catalog-ready performance, with many of their vehicles showcasing off-the-shelf upgrades with the part numbers right on the cars’ placards. In addition to the expected performance heavy hitters like the ZL1 (the gorgeous ZL1 Touring Convertible concept in avocado-skin “Unripened Green” was truly a sight to behold), the General emphasized the trickle-down effect of performance upgrades for their lesser models as well, including the track-tuned Sonic B-spec and the turbo 2.0L-powered Malibu Performance concept. The V6 Camaro also got some love with a track-ready Chevrolet Performance Concept that gave it a 1LE suspension upgrade and the ZL1′s dual exhaust and brakes (6-piston front, 4-piston rear). Also on hand was the last 2012 COPO Camaro and the only COPO convertible, #69 (GM announced Monday night that another run of 69 COPOs will be built for 2013). There were the celeb-designed bowties, a ZL1 by Tony Stewart and Guy Fieri’s 427 Corvette. And of course, we certainly didn’t miss the Chevrolet Performance demo bays, where booth visitors were offered up-close look at the performance goodies in various stages of installation.
