Thanks for the reply and sorry if I came off a bit too strong in a couple earlier posts, but I guess it is just the passion showing through.
I'm glad to see the Heritage Grill made it on the 2011. It is one of the best features on the 2010 Pace Car and I get the most comments on it because it is noticeably different than the standard Camaro Production Grill. One thing I would like to see, which is on my 2010, is the front fender Centennial Era Badges. Even if it is the same one as last years, it is still part of the 2009-2011 Centennial Era. A throwback wing and wheel badge would be cool as well. Something small, but particular to this car. I think the Houndstooth inserts and a white top would have made the 2011 Pace Car as close to perfect as possible. SO what color is the top anyhow? |

Thanks ATOM for all your insight... it's greatly appreciated...
I just have one simple request... Number these cars 1 - 500... Even if it's just a piece of paper that ships w/ the car. I get asked so many times what number my car is...? I have no idea? |

Thanks to Atom for the background on these pace cars. Interesting to get the 'creators' perspective. If I am reading between the lines correctly it seems those cars will have a black top. Not ideal but maybe not a deal breaker either - I would need to see it with the top up. Too bad about the houndstooth not making it in either. Hopefully we see at least one or two pace cars make it out here.

I'm thinking the Tan top would maybe look better than the black?????

Very few folks who buy the 2011 Indy will use the car on a regular basis anyways and manufacturers like Meguirs have come a long way in developing products which keep fabric roofs clean.

Top up is not going to look good anyway you color it. It's just a temporary cover IMO... Black works for me...

Hmmm, I like my stripes better, I'd peel those vinyl stripes off and paint them right.

I have one of last year’s coupes as well and I was getting ready to order a convertible when I saw the announcement for the 2011 Pace Car. Now you know I need the matching pair. Put me down as interested in the retrofit dash stripe for my 2010. I picked up my coupe last year on the Wednesday before the 500 just in time to make it to the race. What an awesome time it was; looks like I had better get my travel plans in order for this May. Can I make one suggestion that I think would make all of us collectors happy. How about a simple emblem for the dash located just to the right of the stripe indicating the production # XXX of XXX. If cost is an issue it could be as simple as a print and cut sticker or something more substantial like a plaque with the # engraved. For the past years 5th Gen Pace Cars, 2009 and 2011, I would be more than happy to pay for the emblem, as I am sure all of my fellow 5th Gen Pace Car owners would be too. Thanks again for all you all do for GM and the Camaro. Joe |

2011 Pace Car
Called my local dealer and inquired as how to pre-order a pace car edition and he called me back and said even the owner (large Chevy dealer) didn't know anything about the pace car edition..
So will all of the 2011 pace cars come in autos.. like the 2010s? |

Are the stripes decals or painted? You would think as much as they cost it would be painted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found a couple more picts of the car OUTSIDE........on Autoblog. Figured I would add them to this thread.
I hear you guys on numbering the cars, and I agree totally Hopefully some of you caught the Car at the Chicago Autoshow, it looked pretty cool in the opening video........BUT more then likely you were distracted by the ZL-1. LOL I'll be at Camaro Fest and the Indy 500 again this year.......Hope to see some of you there! -Atom |

We managed to build a true-to-heritage 69 Z10 replica, with appropriate Hugger Orange stripes, and with a much smaller budget...why can't you?
