Cant decide which to get. Not interested in RF or ZR1 spoiler.
Thanks

Spoiler should be about 55* if I remember correctly for maximum down-force.

Rear spoiler and wing together:

very nice pick, those type of wing work great on track, but as a dual purpose use of my car, that wing would attract too much attention.

home made, mates to the brake light. Seems to help without being to much of a "drag"

Did you see the ACP one? http://www.acproducts.us/corvetteracebod.htm

acp looks great, similar to the katech 1.

I think Derek Van Den Top has the same spoiler on his silver C6Z. It looks great and provides some down force.

PS Z06C6R that is an AMAZING looking car. Is it actually a purchased factory car or just a replica...either way I am sure it turns TONS of heads driving around. Any more pictures or videos of it? Did you used to have/still have a C5R (just wondering because of your user name)? Any pictures/vids of that either? Ever track the car? Very Very cool.

Why is there a screen over the exhaust

Z06C6R/Z06C5R

It simulates the look of the GT1/GT2 C6.Rs from the rear, where there's a screen covering the a/c system. It also integrates the lower rear into one unit instead of having a gap where the exhaust pipes are. I have since spray-painted the screen black for a more mono-look.

Yes, still have both cars. The C6.R replica will be featured in the April issue of Vette Magazine coming out late January. Took the yellow car out for a 40-mile joyride on the Taconic today here in NY (snow's melted!) after replacing a dead yellowtop Optima (brand new!!) with the very lightweight Braille racing battery. Thanks!

Nice line up! Is the C4 next for a replica car? Those Corvette Challenge cars are some of the favorites!

I also have a Braille, in my C4 track car. It's held up and worked very well.

check out the katech rear spoiler, they are a forum vendor, it's wind tunnel tested.

Z06C6R/Z06C5R

Thanks! Yes, I'm still playing with the idea. There was quite a lineup of 88-89 Challenge cars at last year's Carlisle, and one of the celebrity judges that knew me saw me eyeing the cars up and down, and told me "don't look back, they're old-tech!", but I'm still not convinced. Maybe the Andy Pilgrim car, maybe. Yup, that Braille battery helped shed many pounds, I had a real hard time pulling out the oversized Optima, and putting the little guy in with one hand was a joy!!

You realize the Braille and Deka (also known as "Big Crank") are the same battery, manufactured at the same factory ( http://www.eastpenn-deka.com/ ) and that the Deka is half the price, right? I've had a Deka for seven months and it was $80 cheaper than the identical Braille. The only difference is literally the name on the battery case.

"Show me your aftermarket rear spoilers"

Ok I'll play......

Git Er Dun

Wow that's very cool! Do you collect the miniatures too or just play with the full size versions? And I think it would be cool to have a replica challenge car too so you can show how far Corvette racing has come in 20 years.

thanks for the info!

what model works best in our car and do they sell a mount?
