Default What is the strut for in the CAD now that we've seen the spoiler is static?

1. Rear fascia support brace?

2. Active aero on higher trim level future cars?

Another thing I noticed... look how long the coil-over shock is and how high up the chassis it mounts relative to the UCA. Assuming this is accurate, it's awesome... proper way to do a coilover like the Viper vs. stuffing them in the C5/6/7 where there's no real room for shock travel in a coilover application.

Could it be a shock to take some of the Engine weight?

Would be super nice if its an active spoiler for a lower profile option that get aggressive when needed.

Active aero for later models. 18th will be next gen base C8 Stingray. Zero mules have been caught testing active aero.
