Default Chevy please don't cut the ragtop, 2011 indy Pace Car!

It would be sooo cool to see a white with orange striped with houndstooth interior pacing the 2011 Indy 500, would of been nice this past year. Then it could of been 40 years since the original '69 pace car.

I would love a 2011 Indy Pace Car Camaro, definite collectors piece from day one.

Ever since I was a kid thats the first race I saw and fell in love with Indy pace cars ever since. Past decade been boring, since its just a vette, vette, vette, it would of been cool if they used other brands. Mustang pace car or a new challenger pace car.

When I was in my teens my parents sent me to culver military academy in the summer. My parents rented a house on the lake the academy was on. The lady that owned the house had a '69 pace car in the garage. She used to let us go for rides to the ice cream store sitting on the back roof like we were in a parade.

Haha... I agree with you though it will/would be nice to see a pace car with the same colors as the 69. Btw, I live just North of Culver and my family used to have two cottages on the lake down there until a couple years ago.

Is there a problem with that? Not every Mustang guy wants the Camaro to go down in flames. Some of us like the new Camaro, and alot of us like having some new competition around.

I sold my '02 SS a few years ago, Sold my '66 SS 396 about 10 years ago, '69 GTO was my DD while in the service. My first car was a '77 impala with a 454 swap. My second car in high school was a '70 AMX with a built 454 from the impala. Right now on the drawing board is a '68 camaro with C5 suspension and LSX power.

Reason I got into mustangs because they are cheap and light horsepower, plus the mustang crowd is a bit nicer. Hence the responses above.

Not always true man, I know plenty of good Camaro guys. Its just if you get so many people on one site you're bound to get some unfriendly responses.

I would just like to just see the Camaro before GM goes out of business. I, little old me, sold 147 cars in 2009. My goal in 2010 is 1 per month. Reason, I just don't like people..............................
