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 think it would do pretty well if it actually stayed in the race.

With Indy cars doing 230mph and the ZR1 205 just where on the track would you be next to them to "punt them"? Unlike NASCAR there are penalties for that in Indy because it is open wheel. While I find the initial suggestion humorous I find the resulting support of it unthoughtout. If the ZR1 cannot beat the ALMS GT2 car it will not be close to an Indy car. Just saying.

Much easier to keep clean! The stock ZR1 wheels are the worst I've had to keep clean because of all the spokes so close together.

Guess he's gonna punt them as they go by about 50 mphs faster than he's going, good trick if you can.
