Default Just remove spoiler, Problem Solved!!!

It doesn't look so Camero without the spoiler. Also, if the entire rear was same color as the car it would look really good.
I don't think round taillights belong on this design.

On the contrary! I think it would look like a foolish fat butt if the bottom wasn't dark. Here's an example:



It's kind of sweeping the problem under the carpet. But hey! It works for me.

As I understand it, the big spoiler is on the Z51 only.

I agree the design is more successful without the wing, and I also think white is a nice color for the car. I wonder if there is a wing delete option with the z51.

The designers' goal was to significantly reduce front and rear lift. The rear spoiler is part of the equation. Why would you want to go backwards in design?

I admire the designers' devotion to make this the best driving Corvette ever. They took what they learned from the race program. This car is no poser. It's the real deal.

Because for the 99% of the time I'm not on the track and actually dont care about lift, I can make it prettier.

No the spoiler is needed. with your drawing it has aged the car 40 years or more. What you did make it look like an old Dodge Charger or the AMC Marlin.

Because the spoiler looks like crap. And, I'll probably never see close to 180 MPH in the Car.

The blue car looks good without it but the white one needs it because an all white color does not have depth of view.
