Outside of the color, it looks like the same scheme (paint/decal) used on the Daytona car.

Yea, I thought looked a lot like the one at Daytona. Congrats to Chevrolet and Corvette! I wonder if they are selling replicas of these? I think they missed out by not having any of the 2004 Pace Cars for sale. I really like its color scheme.

someone at indy must really like corvettes to have the C6 in it's first year pace the 500. i think this is probably a first for any car manufacturer on it's first year with a new body style.

The 1994 Mustang Indy Pace Car was also a first-year body style.
