Wouldn't it look good on your C6?
The rear spoiler off the C7 Z06; big enough to impress and actually create some real downforce but not too obnoxious JDM overkill.
The only negative (for me) would be how much of the view looking back it would obscure, still, I think a cool addition....

To me, the spoiler on the new Z06 looks way too big. I would do just the reverse and replace it with something smaller if I had the car. The spoiler is not big in a good looking way.

Will not fir. Completely different design. Check out the SuperVette or the C7 Carbon extended ZR1 spoiler if yo want a more aggressive style spoiler.

I have some extra fiber edge trimming that looks just like it if you want to save some money... That's terrible, I'm with the others, I don't think it would flow with the lines of our cars...

I can only assume you're talking about this spoiler.
If you are, I see no way it could possibly fit your C6. It's a totally different design concept.

Rear down force only works if you gain enough front down force to balance it back out.
As for the Z07 spoiler, already proven a loser since it just cause the parachute/drag chute back end of the vets to be even worse, and actual causes too much increase in wind resistance at higher speeds (just makes the car slower trying to get through the wind instead).
Just skip to the 1:00 , and understand that if you use the air exiting under the car to pull the back end down as it exits the back (back up through the slots that the car has in the wind tunnel test), instead of pushing the back end down with a bigger spoiler on the top, you increase down force of the rear end and solve the back end drag vacuum problem (that transfers back to the front end) instead. As for the front end, huge gains by venting the radiator air out the top of the hood like on the C-7, instead of dumping back out under the car instead (why the C-7 does not need a huge air dam on the bottom of it).
So to sum it up, the Vet was always designed with lift from the start (yes, even the ZR1). This lift at speeds increases the MPG, and gives the vet some extra top end (at the cost of handling at these high speeds, since the car is not being pushed down from down force, but trying to lift off from lift instead).

The Z06 spoiler is MUCH bigger than the Z51 spoiler you have pictured.
The Z51 spoiler is hard to see over. I can barely do it.
I can't even imagine how much harder/impossible the Z06 spoiler is to see over. Even if it fit a C6, it wouldn't be good on any level.

Just not into it either. In my opinion it's like asking if a 70s Trans Am Screamin' Chicken would fit on a Corvette hood. While it would fit, it wouldn't add any real performance benefit.

well......
....I guess that's a no.....I've always liked a slightly more aggressive look without going Elvis pompadour but I guess the website has SPOKEN!
