Intakes,smintakes,wings and waddle. The performance version hopefully will make at least the downforce of a Viper ACRX

The RS wing is even bigger in person, somehow. It's crazy. Like a literal airplane wing.

The wing is perfect for the car (RS), let’s really hope the ZR1 has active aero and an equally large wing.

And I agree with @village idiot, the wing on the RS is quite larger in person.

Not too shabby, BUT I was hoping the ZR1 would've ditched that comical beak off the door!

AND, when are we going to see the specs on the car?

Honestly I’m hoping they release a Z06 Carbon later on in the lifecycle that borrows some of the aero advancements, and hopefully light weighting (Bedford 6 cough cough), of the ZR1. That would be the car I’d most desire for this generation.

The first thing that I would do on a brand new ZR1 that I pulled into my driveway for the 1st time is get my tools out & unbolt that God awful wing

I doubt the wing will be standard… we’ll see. Maybe they’ll make a more understated Turbo version to this GT2RS version.

yeah you have a point

Yeah, since some of the NBR spy videos show it with the Z06/Z07 rear wing, I'd say it's a safe bet that there will be more than one option. I'm curious to see if they will also offer a low-wing version like the Z06 as well, for the buyers that hate big wings. (myself not included, I like them all.)

If you consider the track version of the car based on aesthetics you should buy the base version.

That's why one of my vinyl-wrap ideas is to cover part of that area so it breaks up the lines better.

I agree. But I can't afford a T.50. But that's what proper aero would look like.

T.50 is awesome and an engineering marvel, but that is not a very good looking car IMO. The fan in the back looks equally ridiculous… but I appreciate the function and engineering influencing the form just as I do with the GT3RS.

Well the Speirling also uses a fan. To some, a fan may look ridiculous. But the beauty is that you don't need fancy active aero or a massive drag-generating wing that causes too much downforce at some speeds. Jim Hall had this all figured out on the 2J, way back in 1970. By using a fan, you can get just the right amount of "sucked to the track" needed in virtually every situation--without reducing your straight-line speed. Bonus points if the fan is calibrated to the steering and slip angle of the car, so that it automatically increases or reduces RPM based on oversteer/understeer.
