Default C6 Wing
I might be going crazy here but Ive fallen in love with the way the C6R looks.
I want to see some pics of C6's with wings.

Has anyone done this? Is there one I could add for track events and take off for normal driving?

Wings are for the track and serve a purpose...they're not for driving around on the street. Most of the Corvette racers I know use the carbon fiber APS wing. Here's a few of the Arizona Corvette Racers.....

If you track the car and add a rear wing,, you will also have to add front downforce to rebalance the car.

Unless you are racing the car full time, don't bother. At the speeds you can drive on the street it is not effective and will even hurt performance somewhat. Besides, it is WAY too much rice and detracts from a beautiful car. Those types of mods look ugly and stupid on a Civic, why would you do that to a vette.

Exactly. If you don't track the car forget it. Just my 2 cents.

There is one word in the english language that sums up the look of a wing on a C6

UGLY

My wife isn't much of a car freak but even she saractiscally says "nice wing" when ever we see a car with a bolt on.
