Corvette Z06 Daytona Pace Car: A specially prepared Corvette Z06 will serve as the Official Pace Car of the 48 th annual Daytona 500, on Feb. 19. It is the second consecutive year that a Corvette has been selected as the pace car. It wears a unique paint scheme, including Daytona 500 logos, as well as mandated safety equipment and strobe lights. No mechanical modifications or enhancements were needed to prepare the Corvette Z06 for its on-track duty.
With 505 horsepower, the Corvette Z06 is the fastest car produced by Chevrolet and GM. It is powered by a 7.0L engine with racing-derived lightweight structure and components such as carbon-fiber front fenders and an aluminum chassis structure.
Because of the unique restrictor plate rule at Daytona, which limits airflow into the cars’ engines to keep track speeds below 200 mph, the Corvette Z06 actually makes more horsepower than the cars competing in the Daytona 500 – a first for a pace car.
