Indy 500 Pacecar?
A friend of mine sent this to me today. His remark was that "someone got carried away with too much lipstick!" Not my cup of tea either. Looks like a clown.

I like red, white and blue, but you're right - they could have come up with a better graphic design.

Not too bad. I think I could get over the look. Certainly not a double bagger.

I think it is the black seal around the non-popup headlights that are too pronounced giving the front a clown face appearance.
I like the paint scheme
, but agree on the face.

The lights look like eyes and the front end with all that red paint does look like it's smiling. But if someone dropped it off in my driveway I'd take it.

It isn't something I would run out and buy. Like all the other pace cars, they are unique.

Ain't that the truth!!
It's a F'n PACE CAR!! It's supposed to be unique and different
What gets old in C5 General is the constant raggin' and bitchin' about the C6 and everything that has to do with it. Jeezuz, give it a rest already.
If you gotta bitch than take it to the C6 Forum. I'm sure they'd love to discuss your dislikes with you!!
Personally I'd take that car any day of the week, especially because it's a Z06
