Special Edition Vehicles - Another Corvette Indy Pace Car...again??

I am a big fan of Indy 500 pace cars. Before I was born, my dad had a 1980 Turbo Trans Am pace car. I have never owned a pace car, but you could call me an enthusiast. Every year I look forward to finding out which car was selected to pace the "world's greatest race". To my disappointment, I found out it was another 'vette. Granted, it's a ZR1, but still. How about a little variety people?

Below is a quick list just to show you how many times the vette has paced the Indy 500 since '78:

1978 chevy corvette
1979 ford mustang
1980 pontiac turbo trans am
1981 buick regal
1982 camaro z28
1983 buick riviera convertible
1984 pontiac fiero
1985 oldsmobile cutlass calais
1986 chevy corvette
1987 chrysler lebaron
1988 oldsmobile cutlass supreme
1989 pontiac turbo trans am
1990 chevy beretta
1991 dodge viper RT/10
1992 cadillac allante
1993 chevy camaro z28
1994 ford mustang cobra
1995 chevy corvette
1996 dodge viper GTS
1997 oldsmobile aurora
1998 chevy corvette
1999 chevy monte carlo
2000 oldsmobile aurora
2001 oldsmobile bravada
2002 chevy corvette
2003 chevy SSR
2004 chevy corvette
2005 chevy corvette
2006 chevy corvette
2007 chevy corvette
2008 chevy corvette
2009 chevy camaro SS

2012 chevy corvette ZR1

What do you guys think? I consider myself a GM guy, but I would really like to see some diversity.

TWO Fords. LOL.

I wouldn't mind seeing a SRT8 Challenger, but no 'vert is made for parade cars.

At least this gives Chevy the opportunity to showcase their most powerful car (for the first time) as well as their new 427 'Verts as parade cars.

I loved Oldsmobiles too, but I felt about the same in the late 60s and 70s when a Cutlass or some variant was pacing the 500 every other year. Obviously, Indy has their manufacturing allegance stright.

the oddest car to pace the 500 :D

I'd like to see a charger in Richard Petty Blue!

Ohh the 80's......
