I have a hunch that the final numbers for the base is going to be in the 470hp range and another 50lbs or so shaved off.

At the NAIAS, we talked to a "high level" GM dude. I asked him about spoilers, specifically the Red C7 on the wall not being a Z51 - but had a rear spoiler.
He surprised me by saying "all C7's will have a rear spoiler".
Is he counting that little black thing in the center of the rear as being a "spolier" - or is this a pre-production car (that won't ever be exactly like that in production trim) where they were experimenting with the cosmetics of not having a standard rear spoiler... and decided against spoiler'less base trim?

man the base rear looks hideous without the wing... if they only painted it all the color of the car... I loved it with the wing, however without the wing it looks very weird...

Wrong. At both speeds it houses the government mandated 3rd tail light. I would like to hear someone who truly understands aerodynamics tell us how many pounds of downforce that little black thing exerts at 180 mph. Downforce at 180 mph, a speed at which a picnic table would fly, is a GOOD THING.
