I like an active spoier up fromt..i hate that plastic spoiler in springs scraping pulling into certain driveways or going over speed humps..
id pay for active aero over fals system to get away from hearing that scraping noise in daily driving these cars.
id prefer a small rear lip ducktail or if need be an active rear spoiler over the weird fixed rear spoiler we have seen on the spy photos of the c8 would be cool.

Agreed JB! Please GM some option other than the winged spoiler was have been almost exclusively seeing. Active aero will not be an inexpensive option, and if it were to appear, probably would not be until the Z06+ versions.
Thanks HorsePowerObsessed.Z06 coming late this summer: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, complete high wing/aero package. CCB’s, with every piece of visible carbon fiber available. Lifetime, annual contributors, and 24 year members of National Corvette Museum. Home is the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

While I still have my OEM carbon fiber splitter, a few of my friends are on their second or third splitter due to damage. There was places I truly do not visit because their driveway aprons are so steep, ones that I can not get into due to my lowered C7 Z06. My primary Chevron gas station is one that I only enter/exit through one entrance for that same reason.Last edited by John; 02-17-2019, 06:22 PM.Z06 coming late this summer: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, complete high wing/aero package.

We shouldn't assume that just because GM has patented all these things they're going to show up on a C8. Lots of Patents never get used, and others don't show up until many years later.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Naturalw/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels

Active Aero (front & back) that is controlled by the speed of the car, especially the rear spoiler, which in low speed should not be active or you burn a lot of gas, driving around under 50 MPH.
However, Active Aero "can" get expensive. Not sure which car it was, the Active Aero option was about $10,000 which did not have anything to do with lowering the front, but both front and rear would move accordingly. And this was 3-4years ago when the manufacture offered it.
This could be optional on C8 with the top model like Z06 or ZR1.

If actuve aero has a cost anywhere near 10 grand...f that...
i actually believe ferraris non active aero is more along the lines of what Id prefer...
underbody aero of say the 458 is cool and makes the top hat sheet metal more attractive.
i dont think if active aero is an option that Id pay for it...I tend to think active aero and even non active aero like big @$$ spoilers is unwarranted for lower performance models ...and gm has gone rogue lately with the pedistal wings.

GM has already patented four potential C8 aero systems/components. Couple those with GM having two of the most advanced OEM wind tunnels, and as you noted the C7’s aero advantages, the C8 will be extremely aero friendly.Z06 coming late this summer: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, complete high wing/aero package.
