Default ZR1 low profile spoiler

Does anyone like the low profile rear spoiler on the ZR1? I sort of like how subtle it is compared to my stage 1 spoiler. Hopefully, aftermarket will make something like that for us as an option.

I plan on ordering a ZR1 and can't decide if I like the bigger one or not. It definitely would get more attention to show it was a ZR1 but it kind of looks like a kids Honda or something.

On a track or among a bunch of lambos and exotics or car show = cool...

at the local restaurant or kids softball game = Toolbag (thats what "they'll" say)

^^^^^ 90% of the population know nothing about special models but will absolutely say it looks ridiculous.

The big wing is on there for a reason. If you don’t like it don’t order it. I “Guarantee” you no one has called my ACR Extreme Viper with a 6’ wing a toolbag. The wing is awesome and will be well received on the street, just not on this forum.

I am actually talking about the body colored ultra low profile spoiler. Really like it. See pic.

Not sure why everybody is worried about how it will look to someone else. If you like it get it and if not don't.

Yes, I like the low profile wing too!!

If there is a way to make it work with our cars, I'd be interested!!

Too funny and maybe it's just the engineer in me that can't comprehend the thought process of some people. I'm truly amazed at how many people will make a decision and/or comment on a machine's functional mechanical component such as the rear wing based upon their cosmetic preferences versus the planned usage of the machine.

I really don't get it...

I'm not a big fan of the wing but it's functional, it serves it purpose and it is what comes on the car (ZTK package).. Therefore, it's badass and the car will be "track ready" whether or not you take it to the tracks.

As I did with Stingray and Z06, I am interested in ZR1. I saw a pic of the low wing, which is acceptable to me and was test #1. Now the big question- test #2- is the price. I heard Kai Spande say around $150K, which could be a fail for me.

Just speculation right now.

i like it too.. i think it will help the Z06 a lot as well if you are into straightline high speed racing (might reduce downforce).

Default “Affordable”???

Am waiting for base model pricing, discounts to find out, if any dealers even get an allocation near me.
