Obviously, we need to make major assumptions at this time, for we do not have the confirmation as to what the ME’s Z51 package would or would not entail. However based on the leaked specs, and if you believe them, there would be a Z51 option as shown on the leaked order sheets (thanks to NBVette4U).

Since there are at least some C7 to C8 parallels, let us first re-look at what the first year, 2014 C7’s Z51 package had as its components.
Performance brakes, special front and rear wheels and tires, black calipers, slotted rotors, dry sump oiling, upgraded suspension, electronic limited slip differential with cooler, performance gear ratios, and an aero package (consisting of at least its full-with rear fascia spoiler).
Tadge was asked if the C7’s rear spoiler could be deleted on a C7 Z51, and his response was, “yes, it can be physically removed, but not recommended” (or words to that effect).
A major assumption of this poll, is that the C8 Z51 would also have a a full-width spoiler as its core component (one that can not be easily removed).
However, it is believed, again without confirmation, that the entry 2020 C8 would have no spoiler, or a smallish spoiler — as in this picture.
Again for this poll it is assumed that 2020 C8 Z51 Stingray would have the below winged spoiler — though it would probably be slimed down without its camo. [Note please, however that there is an option below you could select which states that while the Z51 spoiler would be a significant alternative one, it would not in your opinion, have the winged spoiler.]
Based on what we think we might know, and the assumption that the Z51 would have a non removable spoiler (without a hack saw or equivalent), please vote as to whether you would or would not be order the Z51 based on what you know today.
