QOTD: What's Your Favorite Pace Car

qotd what s your favorite pace car

The 2013 Indy 500 will feature a Corvette C7 as its official pace car. Great for the Vette, and a rather obvious, if predictable choice. But what about the unsung heroes of the Brickyard?

For me, it’s a wash. Something about the after-dinner-mint color of the Chevrolet Beretta really appeals to me, but the Dodge Viper edges it out slightly. Word is that in 1991, the Dodge Stealth was slated to be the pace car, but the UAW threw a fit over a Japanese car being used. The replacement ended up being the not-quite-production-spec Viper, piloted by Ol’ Shel himself. Let us know you picks below.

I actually like that C5 Corvette pace car with the yellow wheels and purple paint. I remember some kind of Chevy pace truck that I liked too.

Lorenzo I just noticed the 1954 Ford Customline V8 has the same exterior dimensions, but better legroom, shoulder room, hip room, a V8 engine, and a trunk lid. It sold, with Fordomatic, for $21,500, inflation adjusted.
Lorenzo They won't be sold just in Beverly Hills - there's a Nieman-Marcus in nearly every big city. When they're finally junked, the transfer case will be first to be salvaged, since it'll be unused.
Ltcmgm78 Just what we need to do: add more EVs that require a charging station! We own a Volt. We charge at home. We bought the Volt off-lease. We're retired and can do all our daily errands without burning any gasoline. For us this works, but we no longer have a work commute.
Michael S6 Given the choice between the Hornet R/T and the Alfa, I'd pick an Uber.
Michael S6 Nissan seems to be doing well at the low end of the market with their small cars and cuv. Competitiveness evaporates as you move up to larger size cars and suvs.
