Default Hey look, the rear spoiler really works

I was washing my car and noticed this.

I would be really mad if someone wrote a hyperlink on my car. Was it a bumper sticker or was it put on with a sharpie or something?

This is the only reason I like driving my stage 2 Z06 in the rain. It's cool to see the aero working.

I love the rooster tail. Does the same thing on a gravel road.

Always liked Tadge's description below. Also, there's a vid, or maybe pics, on here somewhere showing a side-by-side comparison of the downward force between the different stages...

Rooster tail, as I knew it, was from a diffuser. Guess I'll take it how I can get it though.

I can see a difference between the level 1 and 2 spoilers.
