That wing is an abomination. Just give us a duck tail spoiler like the base one on the Z06. The low profile spoiler is too flat IMO.

Wheel design offerings are getting worse!

And still not a fan of the high wing spoiler...It's the 4 risers that makes it look weird!

Very interesting. I want to hear what the Z51 guys say about having a High-Wing which they despised.
The wheels are different. Thanks for posting.

Took a leap backwards in both Z51 spoiler and wheels IMO.

Is that a new standard Z51 spoiler, or an optional one?

They could've kept that wing. Current Z51 spoiler looks much better.

They could have and should have done better with the wheel design.

I take the wall of buttons over loosing controls to a touch screen. I like one-touch button controls, not multiple screen clicks.
To each their own preferences.

The Z51 wing is not good looking, especially in body color. I would much rather take a high wing instead. But I guess it could be lass dragy than the current Z51 spoiler.

What's the tacky styling of the wheels & wing? Who do they think would order those?
