I am digging the gold wheels too. That should be an option

It's sad though, the pace car is going to be faster than the Car of Tomorrows field!!

I could swear that's Sport Gold Metallic from the '98 F-Bodies. Maybe a bit lighter, but since the light is shining on this side, it's hard to tell.

The wheels look good in gold, but the paintjob is horrendous, IMO. I've always hated pace cars

I bet it would pull away on the green flag and get passed in the first corner, if the driver of the vette doesn't smash it in the first turn.
