Which Aero stage is the fastest Z06 in 0-60+1/4 mile, top speed stage 1,2,3?
I know that stage 3 aero is the best for tracking a Z06 but what stage aero is the best to have for 0-60,1/4 mile fastest time and top speed on a Z06? Thanks Dave
Stage 1 for top speed...but it's the worst "looking" setup in my opinion. Stage 2/3 looks the best.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like stage 1 spoiler the best because it is the smallest. Probably the reason why I don't like the big and small wing on the C7 ZR1.

The stage 2/3 front splitter reminds me of a "double row" of shark teeth with front side dirt catchers. I think 'one' row would do the job and if you want to spice up the stage 1 front splitter than get it painted carbon black like most of the other trim pieces.
PS: but I'm all for the stage 2/3 (protection) side skirts!

The stage 2 wing part number used to be 23256573. The part number changed to 84339357. I've been shopping different gm direct websites and most don't offer the original part # any more. However, I found one site that still offers the stage 2 under the old part # and the price is only $156 shipped versus $220-$250 on the other sites for the new part number. Can anyone confirm there isn't a difference other than the part number?
I'm headed to the Mojave Magnum Mile next month, and plan on maximizing my chances for high MPH by dropping my stage 3 back to stage one or below. If I remove the center wicker, and the two side pieces (had the dealer NOT use the two side tape when they installed them) as well as the front winglets, is this now less drag then stage one spoiler??

Looking at the stage 2/3 front splitter pics it appears that they may hang down lower than the stage 1 front splitter.
'If' I had my stage 1 front splitter on the car I would be thinking about painting it carbon black to sharpen the look up and an extra added bonus is the low cost for replacement.
*From the pics above: on the blue stage 2 look at the distance from the top of the top tooth point on the driver side to the top of the lower tooth closely, then compare that to the same area on the stage 1 splitter. Looks like less distance on the stage 1 to me. The pic angles look about the same between those two cars.
Here's what "no" front splitter looks like if your going to pull out all the stops. Splitter removed for driveway clearance.
Front end up in the air a little bit on the takeoff, notice top of wheel to wheel opening (1.5X 60').

Just got my sideskirts removed the other day to finish my transformation from Stage 2.5 (added Stage 3 wicker bill). I removed the Stage 2 winglets from the front splitter and swapped the Stage 3 rear to just a Stage 1. Then got the sideskirts removed. Perfect now I’ve read a lot about people having problems with rocks coming up and causing damage, but I spoke to a few people without them and they said there is a few nicks here and there but nothing crazy and hardly noticeable unless up close staring. I’m going to get the ACS front guards and OEM rear guards for a little extra protection.

I purchased the car used and not a big fan of the shirts that came on it.
