The 2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will be the pace car for this year's Indianapolis 500--a fitting victory lap as the current sixth-generation Corvette heads for the end of its production run and the end of this version of the ZR1.

I was close guessing with the Callaway. ZR1 will do a fine job.

That should be worth some coin.

I would Loooooooovvvvvvve to have one.

They can even keep the Indy stickers and lights for themselves. Just the car would work for me.

Oh Man... that is a Killer car... WoW


....the 100th car was already #1 on my list

.....but now a ZR1

....and it's a Pace Car..

No wonder they used the Camaro for the Festival Cars. Could you imagine 50 of those running around...

pumped about this. awesome how its the pace car for its almost last model year. and such a great looking Vette

You guys might know, especially you Becky. Does anyone know when Chevy will have their huge tent setup before the race. My dad and i might go the thursday before because it'd be really tough to go on saturday and were wondering if Chevy would even have all their stuff their yet.

dont mean to thread jack, just a quick question
