You are nuts. That low spoiler looks a hundred times better than the high wing.

Sounds great. Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like we won't be hearing it until September.

The car sounds amazing. And it’s pretty loud in a car with the windows up! Very nice.

The window is rolled down a couple of inches. the window edge happens to be in line with the tinted side window wind deflector edge.

I really dislike that spoiler. It does not fit the aggressiveness of the Z at all. if I cannot have the high wing without CCB or Z07, I will be upset

You are nuts. That low spoiler looks a hundred times better than the high wing.

What I am hearing are comments by Tadge that customers won't see deliveries until after Sept 19th and Mike Furman, the top salesman in the country, saying very late summer at the earliest.

I'm also in the high wing camp. I think it makes the car...that much better. Everyone has their preferred look/options, mine is, the low spoiler just doesn't do it for me.

I agree. The high wing completes the overall look of the car, to me. I think the low wing is for people who are still a bit too caught up in the idea that high wing's are rice or immature. Aesthetics are certainly subjective and while not everyone fits comfortably into either category, I think that still summarizes most of the hate I see about wings like that. I heard the same thing ad nauseum about the ZL1 1LE wing or the C7 ZR1 wing. Perhaps don't consider buying a track oriented vehicle if you don't like track oriented components to be on it. I think for a large swath of folks, what they really want is the E-Ray and not the Z06. Something fast in a straight line, good old fashioned pushrod engine, will likely be widebody or at least changed aesthetically from the Stingray to set it apart.

I'm very much in favor of the new lower wing. Looks less "tacked on" and much more sleeker to the overall shape.

It integrates with the C8 rear deck better.

Sleek? You barely notice it. It's boring. The Z is not a subtle looking car. This is not an Audi
