I’m not a white fan, but this looks pretty good, especially considering Chevy’s horrible Indy 500 Corvettes in the past.

The 70th emblem on the door needs to go though, on all of them. Looks stupid.

Gm as of recently has not offered there pace care packages to be ordered. I don’t think this will be available but would be a cool LPO decal package for sure. I would add *most* of the decals to my 70th.

Probably one of the best Indy pace cars in a while. Perfect counterpart for the red Camaros they are using for the Indy Festival.

Looks like they copied the Viper ACR style stripe.

That 70 year Anniversary stripe is pretty cool. I'd like to see it in all Silver on a ELB car.

They have in the past, every reason to believe they will for this one. Maybe a limited run.

There are too many editions in that... 70th anniversary edition with a Pace car edition... holy cow. Personally I wish they had just made a completely different color (other than white or black which were used for 70th anniversary edition) and built up from there. Just a thought though.
