What if it makes the car go faster ? Obviously some thought and effort went into this.... sometimes new designs are so radical that it takes a while to get used to.
like the current C7 spoilers are some kind of works of art ? they are simple wedges, some look like they can be made in a sheet metal shop and tacked onto the back of the car. And how is this worst than the big ZR1 wing ?

Yeah, yeah. I get it. Everybody hates it. How could someone do this? Yadda yadda, hate, hate, hate. But has anyone taken the time to look into this and see just what this is all about? The fact is that this is no accident. Someone designed this, engineered this, and fabricated it to specs at a high cost. So for some reason obviously none of us here understand, someone thought this works. I'd like to know the reasoning behind that. I hope someone who has a competent education in the field of engineering takes a look at this and inspects the reasoning behind it. Anyone here want to tackle it? Or are we all just so full of hatred that curiosity has left the building?

As far as I am concerned, the owner can do what he wants with his corvette. I mean, he bought it with his money so if he wants put an unusual spoiler on his car I'm all for it. We tend to want every other corvette on this forum to look like ours, and that should never be the case. I like the fact that some owners are stepping out of the meta and trying new things. It's called evolution..without it nothing will change. Instead of trashing his car, you should wonder what are the motivations behind this mod as I am sure it cost a lot of money to produce.

Let's put it this way..if all c7 corvettes came from the factory with this spoiler, I bet most c7 owners would opt out or take it off and change it for a different aftermarket wing.
