This is the only picture I could find on the internet of one of the two Camaros used to pace the Duels at Daytona. On the Camaro behind the Chevy SS, you can see that the grill in the hood is red, the mirrors are black and there is a stripe on the roof. Unlike the car from SEMA, the decal on top of the windshield says "Camaro" and the letters "SS" appear in the grill. Other than those two things the two cars used as pace cars last night sure do resemble the car from SEMA. From seeing it on tv last night I'm pretty sure it had the same black wheels.

According to the article it came from the Camaro SS will be pacing the Nationwide Series race at Daytona on Saturday and the Chevy SS will be pacing the Daytona 500 on Sunday. See the article here: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/chevy-b...7--nascar.html

Here's the coolest. Earnhardt in the '97 500 with 12 to go. Ended up getting back in, cranked it back up, and finished the race.

The Camaro is an SS 1LE and it will be used to pace the Nationwide race on Saturday at Daytona known as the Drive4COPD 300. Here is a picture from the following article: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...at-daytona-500

I agree, that will never be beat in my mind.

*Sitting in the ambulance and got to thinking I wonder if it will drive....got out.....and cranked it up and drove on*

Good catch !

I wonder if this will be something you can buy in the future or if it will be like the other Pace Cars that were never made for sale....(the blue on the ZL1 last year comes to mind).
