Oh yeah - what a beauty. From a sunny warm day at St Charles, IL June 2010

I think it's a great design and doesn't need the gaudy paint job to ruin it. A friend of mine had a ZR-1 in Steel Blue with the Shinoda kit. Wow.

I can't read most of the sign, but is that the car that used to be the CART pace car?

I remember 1 from the days when they had a fleet of them that traveled with the series and I can't think of any other reason for the light bar. If I remember correctly there was also an NSX, a Ferrari 355, and a Nissan 300ZX, and a Lotus Esprit (and probably some others).

It has the Indy Pace Car style light bar/roll bar configuration.

I saw this car in Carlisle Corvette Show. I always wondered what happened to the car. It was a fast car.

Yes very tacky paint job. It takes away from the lines of the body kit.
