A wing is a wing... looks similar to what's on my GT4 too. What's your point. It is designed to increase downforce so they will inherently have similar traits.

Supports and end flaps are completely different. That said, these parts are supposed to perform a specific aerodynamic function, and therefore the variability may be rather limited. I’m sure science points in the same direction on these kinds of things.

Pretty hypocritical statement right there, no? I'm not trying to persuade anyone... that's what those who are whining are trying to doing. So, if someone has the right to whine and complain, I think others have the right to call it, no?

Since the high wing isn’t installed at the factory, but rather is installed by the dealer, I wonder if you order a Z51 with the high wing if you would actually have the option of not having the dealer install it and therefore having the better car with no wing.

It looks so much nicer without the wing and I am a huge wing fan. The low wing and the high wing look really cheesy to me on it. Like a pep boys wing. Without the wing makes it look much sleeker and more European. Plus I don't think you really want to draw the eyes to that rear end for too long.

I’ve read here that it uses the same attach points as the base Z51 wing so I assume the holes will already be there for the dealer to attach the wing. No way to “delete” the wing and avoid the holes with a Z51 package. At least that’s my understanding.
