I would KILL to see a Hemi 'Cuda or L88 'vette as the safety car at the USGP! Can you imagine watching the worlds most sophisticated automobiles following those dinosaurs.

Why? It wouldn't make sense at all. A Ford Mustang would be the most plausable American car you would see, but that too isn't plausable.

i dont understand why they dont jus use cars like Ferraris and exotics like that they could even change them every race, and they will defentelty lap faster then the merc they use now and F1 drivers would be happy with that too

i don't remeber the diablo as the safty car, but i think it was a track car, much like the last couple of years in montreal they have been using NSX, but during the f1 race it was only the slk

Yes indeed, and it would be maube the best car for in wet conditions.
They also used it in the DTM



But I think that a rare and exotic car maker would be nice and good for that company aswell. How about a Pagani Zonda, or a Koenigsegg

My guess is it´s gonna be a CLS 55 AMG but I would really like to see another manufacturer supplying the safety cars. Does anyone know when/if this is ever going to happen?

I´d like to see the new E60 M5 or the forthcoming M6

I found this BMW M3, I think it is, nice to see something else as a Mercedes and good example of how great a BMW safety car looks, would also like to see the new BMW M5 or M6 as a future safety car

I would want a car that's fast and reliable to be a safety car. I dont a safety car sent out because another safety car "expired" during its time out. Just joking .. I am a Pagani fan ...

I think i didn't advertise it big enough:Z06, the only bimmer i'd vote for is the M3 CSL but the vette would look much better. The other big plus is that it's not involved with one of the F1 teams so none of 'em get some extra credit... and it's not Europeen
