Sounds like a tall proposition in the face of the recently reviewed Corvette ZR1 , but that's not stopping tuner Katech Performance from doing it.

This year -- the 92nd running of the race -- there'll be two Corvettes serving as the official pace cars. Pace car numero uno is a customized Chevrolet Corvette Z06 concept that runs on E85 ethanol and will be driven during the race's pace lap by two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
