The key is to have aftermarket wheels on the Stingray (first video). It actually holds its own next to the base Z06 pretty well.

Z06 needs a good looking rear wing like the base model has options for.

Would have been nice for the camera to back up, stand still, and give us a straight shot. The Z06 might be next to the Stingray, but there was basically no visual comparison shown lmao.

You aren’t actually calling that 4 post mess good looking are you? j/k. Opinions may vary.

Seriously… and if that was the only source from which I had seen the C8 platform, I would think they don’t look that good. Guy needs to step back a bunch.

I actually like the high wing on the stringray. I like it alot more than the base z06 with that nasty plain looking thing on it. The z06 without the high wing on it looks so bland imo. That type of duck bill spoiler works for my c7 z06 but not on the c8 z. At least not to me. I simply do not like it.

This... the high wing 4-post to fill the 4 holes thing is truly silly. The Z wing is so much better.

The Stingray HTC in this video looks better than the Z06 coupe.

I don't mean that in general, but in this particular instance, I find it to be true.

I had the high wing on my 2020, it was by far the best looking option, but that new wicker bill on the Z06 looks really nice IMHO.

Everything they tack on the back of both models looks tacked on. The car needs active or integrated rear aero.

Don’t agree at all. A bespoke 2-pedestal wing looks proper. The high wing is a cool option, but the 4 post setup is just so it would fit in the standards Z51 holes.

Agree. No spoiler on the back of my 22 C8. Mine looks clean and smooth.

Not that it holds any weight compared to anyone else's opinion, but here's what Matt Farah had to say about the appearance of the base C8 versus Z06:
