This year's Indy 500 Pace Car is the 2013 60th Anniversary Corvette ZR1
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway today announced that the 2013 Corvette ZR1 is the official pace car of the 96th Indy 500 race. The 2013 Corvette is outfitted in its 60th Anniversary package.
This is the 11th Corvette to serve as the official pace car but it will be the first time the 638-hp ZR1 has lead the pack.

I figured it was going to be a 60th edition, but I am surprised that it is a ZR1. Guess there won't be any factory replicas this year.
I suppose the parade car Camaros will be the collectibles this year.

If GM can find a way to make some money by slapping stickers on a corvette they'll do it.

look how well that worked for the IROC- take a Z28, put IROC badging on it and sell it for $5k more than the Z28 would have been.

The Indy cars may have a hard time keeping up!

Why do they call it "common sense" when, in fact, it has become so uncommon?
That's my opinion, it outta be your's. |

With a top speed of 205 mph, the Corvettes ZR1 is the quickest development design ever by GM. The hand-assembled 6.2L LS9 engine and package of innovative performance technology, as well as Performance Grip Management and Attractive Particular Drive Control.
