Who said muscle cars can't be green? The video above is all about the 2008 Indy 500 pace car, an E85-fueled Corvette Z06. Chevy does not make an E85 Corvette but this concept may hint at future plans from Chevy's gas friendly to gas free strategy. The video includes the pace car driver, two-time Indy 500 winner, Emerson Fittipaldi, joking it will be great to look in the mirror and see all those Indy cars behind him. The Z06 is capable of changing colors from green, blue, gold and yellow and you can check it out in the 2008 Indy 500 which airs Sunday, May 25, 2008.

On Memorial Day weekend in 2008, General Motors is taking their ethanol promotional campaign to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For the tenth time, a Chevrolet Corvette will be leading the racers around the track for the Indy 500. This time around, however, the 'Vette won't have only gasoline in the tank. Instead, the bright green car will be running on E85. The ethanol-fueled Corvette Z06 pace car will be driven on race day by two-time World Champion and two-time Indy 500 champ Emerson Fittipaldi. In addition to the E85 Corvette, Chevrolet will be providing a special black and silver Corvette commemorating the 30th anniversary of the first pace car 'Vette. Chevy will build 500 replicas of the anniversary pace car for sale in both coupe and convertible forms.
