2007 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition �€" 20 Actual
Miles, Original Window Sticker, Numbers-Matching LS2 Why This Car
Is Special The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is
one of the most complete time capsule examples of the C6 generation
you are likely to find. This car shows 20 actual miles on the
odometer. The original window sticker is still present. The factory
seat plastic is still on the seats. This is not a low-mile car that
has been detailed and freshened up �€" it is essentially the same
car that left the Bowling Green assembly plant in 2007, before
anyone ever sat in it with intent to drive. The 2007 Indianapolis
500 was the 91st running of the race, held on May 27, 2007.
Chevrolet selected the C6 Corvette convertible as the official pace
car, finished in Atomic Orange Metallic Tintcoat �€" a color that
was exclusive to the Pace Car Edition that model year. Chevrolet
produced these pace car replicas for retail sale, as has been the
tradition since 1978. The Corvette has served as the official pace
car at Indianapolis more times than any other vehicle in the race's
history, making each edition a legitimate piece of American
motorsport history rather than a marketing exercise. What separates
this particular example from others is that it has never been
driven. It exists today in precisely the condition it left the
factory, with documentation to prove it. The VIN on this car
decodes to confirm it was built as a convertible, which is the only
body style Chevrolet offered for the 2007 Pace Car Edition. All
retail pace car replicas that year were convertibles, which is
consistent with what actually paced the race at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. Features List - LS2 6.0L V8 �€" 400 horsepower - 6-Speed

of this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car is the LS2 6.0-liter V8,
rated at 400 horsepower. The LS2 was introduced in the C6 Corvette
when that generation debuted for 2005, and it represented a
meaningful step forward from the LS1 it replaced �€" larger bore,
better breathing, and more torque across the rev range. At 20
miles, this engine has never been broken in. Every bearing, every
seal, every piston ring is in the same condition it was the day the
car was assembled. Mechanically, this car is as close to new as a
nearly two-decade-old Corvette can be. The transmission is the
6-speed paddle-shift automatic, which in the C6 was the 6L80 unit
paired with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that allowed the
driver to select gears manually without lifting from the wheel. For
pace car duty �€" where precise speed control matters and the
driver's hands need to stay on the wheel �€" it was an appropriate
pairing. The Active Handling System and Magnetic Ride Control are
both present on this car. Magnetic Ride Control, developed with
Delphi, uses magneto-rheological fluid in the shock absorbers that
