It's the Stage 1 base splitter. It's made from plastic and cost around $100 or less, which is considerably less than the Stage 2/3 splitter, hence, the term "poverty." The same splitter is also included on the Z06...

It has nothing to do with production date... if I understand your question correctly.

"$100 or less" is a thing of the past, but they're still the least expensive splitter you can buy.

Ten second search shows them going as low as $108 new, $123 w/free shipping. Wow, I was way off... If you search further you might be able to pick one up for "$100 or less."

A friend of mine purchased one for his Stingray for $95 new, including tax, last month. I guess that was "of the past."

That's the OEM (or OEM style knockoff) Stage 2 splitter. Stage 3 is the same with different winglets.

Thanks Mr. Wizard for your witty response, but you failed to tell everyone the percentage difference of $95. Wouldn't that be 5% less...(rhetorical)?

Nonetheless, I doubt that the exact price matters as relevant to the OP's inquiry.

I have the Stage 3 on my Z... and couldn't be more chilled

I have the poverty splitter and it's really practical because I've scrapped it about a dozen times now and it still looks pretty decent.

Stage 2 splitter.
The obvious difference is the stage 1 splitter comes to a single point in the center, and stage 2 follows the contour of the fangs and has end caps.

Anyone know what the stage 2 splitter costs. Dealer has an AW C7 GS with it and it looks great. It doesn't look any lower than the stage 1 but stage one is probably more forgiving.
