Going out on a limb here for this has not happened in recent Corvette history, but as the ME is all new, what if the 2020 Z51 ME were to be offered with a spoiler delete option?
That would be wonderful! Based on the majority’s negative comments on this forum about the ME’s spoiler we have seen (though a minority really like it), most of us would pay extra to have all the Z-51 package’s performance components, yet have no spoiler at all.
As a reminder, here is what the C7’s Z51 package include:
Every C7 Z51 always includes a deck spoiler. Is there therefore any hope for the C8’s Z51 model not to have one? I think that is a possibilitybecause of this one line in the Jalopnik leaked, ME specs.
ME option code “T0A”: Rear Spoiler Z51? [Note: It is not a dealer installed, LPO, option.]
Searching within all C7 specs, there is no option T0A in any package for any model. Even the dealer installed Stingray entry model wing spoiler is differently option coded as “LPO, SB3.”
Here is our earlier thread on C6 winged spoiler LPO option, an option that looked like this.

As per above, in the C7 Z51 option does not even mention separately mention a spoiler — but it does mention an aero package So why is there this leaked, ME brand new option code that refers only to the spoiler?
Might it mean that the Z51 package does not come standard with a spoiler but that one could add it into that option? Or conversely, does it allow an entry C8 without the Z-51 package, to add in the Z51’s regularly wing spoiler?
Of course, it always remains possible that a revealed spoiler is so much more attractive than it appears now to be with its currently-standard, flurry pool noodle — with most of us later really liking its revealed appearance.
While we wait for definitive GM information, this new option code is intriguing — especially as it is not a “LPO, dealer-installed option” as the C7’s winged spoiler was, e.g., is instead only factory “order-able.”
Does option code T0A get us to the much-desired, Z51 spoiler delete option, though in a back door way? We do not yet know. Many of us are hopeful however.
