IMO, one of the weakest styling points of the C8 is the Z51 real spoiler. It just looks out of place and tacked on. I'm hoping the Z06 gets active rear spoiler.

I’m not 65 and over so I prefer the Z51 look.

Default Clean and Mean

I go for the cleaner look without the Z51 spoiler. If I change my mind later I can always add it through the dealer.

I prefer the base level C8 with the small spoiler.

I like the look without the spoiler but let's say you get a 3LT loaded up with every option except Z51 and you're parked next to a stripped 1LT with only the Z51 option and nothing else. You know someone will walk by and think that the 3LT car is the cheaper model... Just saying...

Hahah and that’s probably exactly what I’m getting 3LT no z51 - I just will never track
want the all season tires , and don’t like the spoiler

No spoiler or high wing. Lower wing looks out of place in this car.
Rapid blue with high wing is my favorite and without the black detailing on the side scoops

Good point 👍

I strongly disliked no spoiler look...but after looking at 100's of photo's...it's ok...grown on me . I still prefer (ordered) the Z51 spoiler w/o question. For me in the Rapid Blue, it works!

Base is just right. Got to touch and sit in at Carlisle. You want one in any color. I told Tadge it was outstanding
and after lunch "Thank You".

I actually prefer the tackiness of the widebody C8 with all the gaudy splitters, spoilers, and vents. Don't Judge Me...

that looks insane! I like it. I don't think I'd want to own it, but I like it.

Holding off for either the GS or z06 but I prefer the z51 with the highwing out of the available options.
