Active wing
I bought my '23 when all the aero was unobtanium and have been living with a bit of mid corner oversteer. I don't know whether I got in under the wire or I'm in for trouble but I had an active Victor wing installed on my Z in early November before they closed up shop. I added a front splitter and canards to balance out the added rear downforce. My last club day was 11/17 but on the way to the track to test it out I got a call that my wife was in a bad accident and totaled her '25 BMW, luckily she got off with aches and pains and I learnt how many airbags new cars have as every single one went off.
1st real test will have to wait until April and the only video I have is this.
I guess I don't know how to attach video as it seems to be only an unusable link.

We preprogrammed it with 5 set points based on GPS data. Theoretically it's near flat at WOT and on rapid deceleration it tilts to steepest angle for air braking and then the 3 set points between are for lighter braking and acceleration based on a built in algorithm. I can also push a button on the controller which fixed it flat for street driving. In my mind it's all theory until the rubber meets the road. When track reopens in spring I'll get a rear facing camera on it and we'll fine tune it from there.
