For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

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.
