Don't get me wrong my last car looked bitching with it and would have it no other way, just recognize you have to be extra careful with dips, curbs etc.

I have a 80-82 version on my 78. Driving a Nascar track at over 125+ I stuck the hard to ground. Driving on a straight away over that speed it seems to float the front. Maybe I need the front spoiler too.

Yes indeedy.....My 2000 Z28 has the front air dam and if I dont hit the ground effect, sure as hell I scrape the air dam. You'd think by now it would have worn away to match the contour of the roads I drive but NOOOO...that would be too easy ( not to mention quiet).
