Corvette to pace Indy 500 for tenth time

Check out this Gold Rush Green paint- its not different on either side, the color shifts depending on the angle of the light. Very cool.

Chevrolet points out that there are layers of meaning to having Indy champ Emerson Fittipaldi pilot the Corvette Z06 E85. "Although not a production FlexFuel vehicle, the Corvette Z06 E85 concept pace car is a high-powered example of Chevrolet's gas-friendly-to-gas-free initiative, demonstrating viable fuel solutions," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "As an ethanol refiner in his native Brazil, Emerson Fittipaldi is the fitting Chevrolet champion to help support GM's efforts with E85."

The Z06 E85 gets a Gold Rush Green paint job and a checkered-flag-pattern graphic. Chevy says safety equipment and strobe lights are the only other equipment added to the car.
