Welcome! You'll love the Z. Front end and wing from a ZR1.

LOVE the front end, but I never cared much for those large wings. All-in-all a beast of a car!

Enjoy your Z like the front end, not a fan of the rear spoiler.

Where'd you get the front bumper? Do you have the coolers behind them?

Drag racing? Drag losing, unless you lose the wing....

This ZR1 came to the track with the $2,995 performance package that takes the rear wing from mild to so large that it somewhat resembles a coffee table, and produces a claimed 950 pounds of downforce at speed. The Texas Mile page said it ran nearly 10 mph slower at 180.8 mph with the wing on the back, and that it was in the 190-mph range after a “few tweaks” including the wing removal.]
ZR1 wing on/wing off

Now this is a drag racing mean machine!

Since you asked, from a looks perspective the back wing is ugly and I do not like the bare look without the badges. The front looks too clunky. But since you drag race, if this helps your times, good for you.

Chrome wheels! Z06 replicas are the best.

Nice car! Lose the wing; it looks horrible and slows you down if you're really into drag racing.

Like the front end, not a fan of the huge rear wing. But a very nice ride overall.

As I'm sure you know, the wing will slow you down. Can you share more deets on the front facia?

The spoiler is my favorite part of your car, I think you put it on backwards though. You can never have too much cow bell or spoiler I say.

Nice front end. I'd put the flag emblem back on the rear - but thats just me.

Nice car, but the spoiler is definitely on backwards.
