Default Pace Cars

IMO there's someone in the Vett team who is squashing all the styling creativity of the styling team members and that some one could even be part of the styling team. As evidence I present the Indy Pace car. YUK

What exactly is wrong with it? It's a pace car.

This is ridiculous. Its a C8 with some decals for the occasion. What "styling" are you complaining about?

I agree. He obviously does not get to start many threads and decided on this...

Pretty sure he is talking about past pace cars compared to this one, although some past ones are pretty much the same. Yet some like the 98 are very over the top. I like the look of this one though.

yes, something different and eye catching. GM put a ton of effort into the 98 version, scientifically figuring out what color combo would turn the most heads and it works. People can't help themselves from looking like it or not.

The 2020 pace car uses the decals from 2019 on a color that they don't work with.

Worry about things that are important. This isn't.

That one was hideous.
I'd like to see them try a modern interpretation of the best looking pace car.

Actually this might be one of the best-looking Pace Cars next to the 1978. Most of them are hideous.

Why is it that ::
a) everyone has an opinion !
b) everyone else gets to trash that opinion?
c) people with no opinion trash both sets of arguments ?

Chill--Really!

And that's your opinion, but totally off topic.
