Best looking Indianapolis 500 C5 Pace Car - What say you?

[6 Shooter]

The 2004 was the best looking C5 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car! ​

I liked it!

I love the C5 - the convertible - and especially that Red, White and Blue paint scheme!

Dwayne,

I thought we did a poll on this subject late last fall. And as I recall the 1978 Pace Car won hands down.

Remo - That was all Corvette Indy Pace Cars, this 1 is C5 specific.

They say memory is the 2nd thing to go!

Well what the heck is the first thing to go? Because frankly I can't remember anymore.

Hey 6 Shooter, time to be getting the vert out and going on the road.

Just finished cleaning and waxing the dually over at Joe's. That thing is 1 huge unit, even seems larger when ya get to detailing it, 5 hours in all, I'm worn out! :ugh

I think I heard his Lingenfelter hollering at me to throw it's cover off and rip up some road. I let him know I plan on exchanging the dually for the Roadster during GM's early April break. He said I should be fairly safe, said we might catch a few snow storm but it should disappear pretty quick.
I'll be glad to get back in the saddle!

I told him someone was driving their Corvette from Mass in March to take it to Lingenfelter. He kind of chuckled and said something about having it trucked over.

Kerri & I need to hook up with you the Yellow Corvette Gang 1 of these Tuesday nights!

Later,
Dwayne

It is better than the past ones. I have a C5 (not a pace), but I still like the 78 the best though.

That is the first time I had ever seen one of those. Any one know why GM didn't reproduce them?:confused

They did produce and sell that purple 98 if that's the one you're talking about!

Personally, . . . I'd vote for the 1978, but we're not talking about them. I think, ( and I hate to admit it) the 1998 was my favorite, (save for those hideous wagon wheels) But the 2004 wasn't all that bad. But while we're on the subject of Indy Pace cars, a friend had a 98 pace car. She had two accidents on the drivers side. Nothing serious (Although the C5 and it's frame is a really a tough cookie to hurt) but both times she had to repaint the drivers side. Why ask you did she not just repaint the entire car? Because of the pace car decals. As it was, it cost her $500.00 for the first time, and $750,00 and a lot of hunting to find a second set for the driver side only. Seems things like decals are discontinued almost immediately upon conclusion of the build cycle. And we both thought the car looked stupid with only one side in decals. FWIW :bash

PS: Chevrolet/GM discontinues almost all parts after a particular models end. And there is NO law that says they must stock replacement parts on any car or truck past one year. Crazy huh ? ;help

Here you go, a 78!

Nope, the 2004, I have seen all of the other pace cars, thanks.
