What is up with the Haters??!? I guess the spoiler on the C6R is "Rice" too...http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/08/corvettec6r05_03.jpg

Function over form, the spoiler is not gay, and its not rice, its very subtle and should provide more down-force to a car as aerodynamic as the vette, along with the splitter.

I think we have some hatin trolls, who are just jealous.

I think the car is flawless, and probably one of the most beautiful z06 vettes I have ever seen. The only thing that would make this better is if it said "ZR1" on the side...

And for those who say "gay" look at the spoilers on the ZR-1's....not much different in profile... http://images.shareordie.in/uploads/...ordiein-01.jpg

Don't worry, I expect a few haters here and there. Some of these misinformed guys think that a spoiler is a visual effect. That spoiler on the car weighs in at 1.2 lbs and was wind tunnel designed and tested to improve track downforce. But, I'm guessing these guys are just typical e-racers who never actually race at a roadcourse. This car actually sees the track. At TWS it hits over 155 mph on the front straight.



I'm glad you hate my car, because it isn't your car! Doesn't bother me, I'll still get in it and drive it regardless of your childish comments here.

Tony, have you slapped any Mods on under the hood yet, or are you still relatively stock?

So props to you for adding your little touches to a new Z06. I will have to say I have seen some of your other cars in the past and this one ranks in the bottom.
I know Tony won't say it, because he had alot of money and reputation invested in this website, (and in others), but you're a retard. Those wheels cost thousands of dollars. Not something you would find on a 16 year old's prelude...

Jealousy??? I dont think so , just my taste. I did see a new Monte SS with the exact same spoiler kinda gay on that car as well(but is was factory). Yeah you are right the car is amazing just like the 3 I just saw lined up in the front row of a Chevy dealer in Cali.

This one looks like it should give you twice as much down force

I can only imagine what you do in your free time. You are picking apart a zo6 that is tastefully modded.

It is only rice if you are a retard. There, I said it

BTW, those HRE wheels retail for $9,000 - not including the $1500 tires. I hate them too!

Maybe they retail for that, but I heard you stole them off a Prelude. Stop trying to tell people you bought them..

Default my ride 73 vette

She is a 73 vette(I believe it to be a prototype Z06),full custom,ls7 twin turbo charged,454 lsx block, KATECH spoiler kit, $9000 15 in HRE wheels(one off's of course),candy paint with gold leaf(prototype candy apple red/gold leaf),and a couple other little mods I will left unsaid. She has been to Daytona on the oval at over 212mph(thanks to those KATECH spoilers) ,also done three bull runs and next year headed to TX for fastest mile!! I know she was a little ahead of her time but see now guys tryin to mock me with their new Z06's. Not a hater just want a little credit for startin the trend.!! So when you going to apply the three stage gold leaf paint??? She is a multi show winner and been in many magazines.

So instead of saying what you really drive, you scan the internet for an ugly *** car, and then go on and on about it.

So no really, do you drive a neon? shadow? What is it??
