Definitely agree with you. Have loved Indy and most all the pace cars over the years. Would love to take a spin in this one, thanks for sharing ��

Last year, I and my 14 crystal red C7 vert were one of 24 Vette verts that did a drivers introduction lap before the MavTV Indycar 500 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. I got to see the two white C7 pace cars up close. The paint scheme, very similar to the pace car in this thread, was gorgeous. BTW, I got to meet Mario Andretti and Jay Leno before the race. Mario had just taken Jay around the track for five laps in the two seat IndyCar. Jay got out and told Mario "You scared the s*ht out of me!

I may be partial, but that's one nice white vette.

I must admit that I'm one young old geezer.

Nice looking pace car except I prefer the base silver cup wheels over the chrome ones.

Unlike F1, they do not. Speaking of which, wonder how Fernando Alonzo will do. He passed on Monaco (also this weekend) to run Indy. Should be a great race weekend w/ Indy and Monaco (a Ferrari front row). Have not see that in a while w/ MB dominating.
