Default 150 mph splitter

Which front spoiler/splitter would work best for running at 150-160 mph?

I've been using c7 Carbon front splitter and sideskirts at the track and autobahn reaching speed of around 180mph and haven't had a problem with them at all. I just use the mounting bolts the car has to attach the splitter and side skirts.( no double sided tape or rivets). oh btw they are carbon fiber so that helps too

The OEM Z06 splitter does, but I'd say that most of the reputable forum vendors' splitters will too, i.e., ACS, C7 Carbon, RPI, etc.

I have a C7 Carbon splitter too, but it's obviously not designed for heavy track use by its very design. They haven't even put it in a wind tunnel.

I'm assuming by "best" he means "most downforce" which is probably the one that extends out the furthest.

Yup, if you want more downforce get stage 3 front splitter from the z06. APR makes a good one or you can buy it from gm but that would cost way more
