2010 Chevy Camaro SS Pace Car Heads to Indianapolis 500


General Motors has unveiled the 2010 Camaro SS Pace Car that will take part at next year's Indianapolis 500. The new model's Orange Metallic paint scheme with White Diamond rally stripes that stretch the length of the car, as well as extending to the instrument panel, pays homage to the second Camaro to pace the Indianapolis 500 in 1969.

"We've enjoyed a great partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway throughout the years, and are proud to once again have the privilege of pacing the Indianapolis 500 in a Camaro," said Jim Campbell, General Manager, Chevrolet.

The new Camaro SS pace car packs a stock 6.2-liter V8 engine with 400-horsepower under its hood.

Aside from the RS appearance package and leather interior with Inferno Orange interior accents, the car also comes gets several unique features including 2010 Indianapolis 500 event logos painted on doors and embroidered on driver and passenger headrests, and an all-new front grille insert that Chevrolet says it plans to offer as a future Camaro accessory.

The amber lens tail lamps and a safety strobe light system with custom interior light bar in the rear window round off the upgrades.
