ZR-1 high wing on a GS....
With that mod, I'm curious, for track use, what will be done up front to rebalance the car's aero once the ZTK wing is in place?

I have a stage 3 splitter that I might try but that is just an experiment. I have someone designing a proper tunneled splitter and also looking at dive planes/canards for the front. The goal is to go for max front downforce and then balance with wing. The question I have is whether the ZR1 wing will be sufficient to balance all the front df when we're done.

Poor-sha, If you don't already know the rear ZTK high wing only has two settings for adjustment. Not sure what GM has for downforce numbers at each setting... I'm starting out at the mininum angle of attack first whilst using LG's extended front splitter that I've mounted on the front.

Its a functioning wing on a car for the track. There is a purpose for it unlike the ones on the ricer cars.

For a lot of people 'rice' just means "car stuff I don't like or understand, usually of Asian origin".

Did it come with a GM spoiler as well? What's the part number as it looks like a GM part bag. I wonder if it is for the tabs that slot through the top of the rear fascia for the spoiler. I'm really curious to see how this works.

There are 4 vertical tabs in the body spoiler that will protrude through the rear fascia. Those clips will snap into the vertical tabs of the body spoiler. They are additional hold downs that work in conjunction with the threaded studs to hold down the body spoiler to the rear fascia.
Hope this helps.

I'm interested to see what other pieces came with the kit. I couldn't get the plug from the GS to connect to the connector on the ZR1 3rd brake light in the spoiler. Also, two of the studs in the ZR1 spoiler have nothing under them because there is a hole where the GS/Z06 3rd brake light used to be.

I "think" a standard plug from Autozone will work. I havent been able to get over there to confirm though. Would have to cut off the plug on the car side and splice in the new plug;

I dont have the upright station brackets from the body spoiler to the wing yet and I am trying to figure out where the in between adjustable brackets sit, are they flush with the top of the body spoiler or are they recessed a bit?

FWIW I just put extra large zip ties through the tabs in the spoiler and it held them in place.
I adjusted the in between brackets to be flat and as centered as I could get them in the holes in the spoiler. However, I don't have my wing back either to see if it fits.

No problem.
I have the Weapon X kit as well, do you have your wing yet? I am still waiting on them to get the ZTK wings in (ordered March 2). I think they just got the ZTXL wings in. Hopefully wont have to wait too much longer.

I plan on heat welding (or epoxy) some mounting tabs to the fascia to provide a mount for those two studs.

Havent done it yet, so I cant confirm it actually works. I have plastic welded before, just not sure if it will weld to the whatever the rear fascia is made of.
If it doesnt work, I have some crazy good aerospace structural epoxy that will work (Hysol 9462).

I ordered my kit on Jan 19. Should be getting the ZTXL wing soon. Ben said they received a shipment of wings last week. Fingers crossed. Sounds like a few of us can coordinate and go through the install process together!!!
