The press release should answer the question (finally for some) on whether the Grand Sport is a "Stingray" or not...
"The Corvette Grand Sport is the official pace car for the 2017 Indianapolis 500..."
"The Corvette Grand Sport is the official pace car for the 2017 Indianapolis 500..."

GS pace car for Indy 500
It was just announced that a GS will be the pace car for the 2017 Indy 500. There are photos on several sites and more to come. White coupe with red/blue graphics. Actually more tasteful than some other years.

I would consider getting one! Would match my other one!! Think mine has the vette beat in "over the top" decals. I don't care... This one was actually on the track that day. It has the "500 Festival" decals on the sail panels which designates it as either a press car or a car that was in the parade. I narrowed the info down by the vin number. It wasn't the actual car that led the race though...I wish!
