I think all the C6 pace cars look crazy

. Too much going on. I like the 98 better than all the C6's and the 98 gets a lot of heat!

Oh well, I like it for what it is and its job!

Kinda reminds me of when somebodies Grandma puts on too much of that really thick red lipstick. Horrible design. Makes me wonder if I can get a job.

We are talking about the Indy 500 here... come on!

From a designer's point of view, I would have flipped flopped the red with the blue and got rid of that lipstick look on the front and replaced it with blue...and still maintained the red white and blue theme.

Hey KernelDee, you have to let us know when we can drive on the track like you did last year. I would pay good money to do that!
