Indy Pace Car

I watched a 1978 Corvette Indy Pace car make a pass down the track yesterday. It's really sad that from the mid 1970s through the early 1980s Corvette performance was so dismal. This car appears mostly stock, and runs a mostly stock E.T. for that era, solidly in the 15 second range for the quarter mile.

While I was at the track I was thinking that every 1978 Corvette could be turned into a pace car replica by buying the decal and stripe kit, but I think I was wrong. There WAS a year where that was the case, but I don't think it was 1978 now... I'll have to do some more research I guess.

Here's some detail on the 1978 Corvette Indy Pace Car from The Tail Gunner's Spot. I think The Tail Gunner wants a lot more than it's worth though, even if it's a numbers matching car.
