Beautiful car and I'm sure it will do Indy proud.

This MUST be a recent change ... as I have seen the 2012 "Official" Camaro Indy cars already this year.

Love having a Corvette leading the way to the green flag. I'll be very high up at the end of turn 3 for my 36th Indianapolis 500

Just make sure they don't let a dealer drive...I'd hate to see people in the pits running from that ZR1...

Watch this video if you don't get it.

That was nuts!

Sorry Rick Conti, I'm officially withdrawing my support of your bid to drive the Pace Car this year!

The Camaros are the parade cars. I guess it's cost prohibitive to have 50 ZR1's available. Glad to see Corvette leading the way again.
