C7 z06
So I go downtown to the car show and took some pics of this awesome Z06. The problem however is the cheap looking rear spoiler! This thing is a piece of smoked plastic, very cheap looking!! Adjustable or not,it should be made from carbon fiber IMO

I agree. While the C7s are nice Cars, this generation has brought in a whole load of crappy looking spoilers/wings. Of course, this is only my very humble opinion.

I too have posted on here several times how stupid that rear spoiler looks. It's too big for the car and makes it look like a clown car from the rear. I absolutely hate it. It looks ridiculous. The rest of the car is badass!

I couldn't disagree more I think it looks great and a lot of C7 owners are looking to switch to that style of spoiler aftermarket. The Z06 is an aggressive car and it has an aggressive spoiler. Different opinions for different people that is what makes the world go around.

True. Without a clear section there would be no visibility in the rear view mirror at all. This Z06, unlike previous models, is designed solely for functionality and the track, not for how it looks on the street..
Have you looked at the race cars?
The C7R has body extensions and all kinds of stuff stuck all over it...including a big wing
If you don't like the way it looks, just buy the level 1 aero package..and save $8000 too.

I agree the spoiler is horrible. Not only does it look bad but you can adjust it (z07 option I believe) and to do that you loosen the screws to do so. Loosen screws to manually adjust a 85K car? That sounds cheap to me. Other then that I LOVE the look of the new Z06.
Oh and vert Z06? That should be a sin!
