Glad to see a manufacturer go to the source and find out what a customer really wants! I'm always interested in a package that will create more uniform downforce with components working together, and score more points in D&E (Design and Engineering) segment of OPTIMA USCA events. Anderson Composites has all their CF parts on a competitor's Mustang, and it's pumped his score up! Even though he's a good guy, more I think about it, I don't want the same CF parts on my 2017 1LE! I'd like to see more aggressive aero packages with dive plates, and the industries only two-piece chin spoiler that allows me to add a bottom section at events, but remove when loading my car, or street driving. It needs to be attractive and not look as if something were missing when lower part is not attached. A very functional hood that vents heat, and offers a muscular appearance that says, "ZL1 1LE What?" A rear diffuser that effectively transitions under car high-velocity air with slow free-stream air hanging out at the rear of my car, so I can have more rear grip. I'd like Side skirts that keep high pressure air from rushing under the car and robbing downforce. This is another design I'd like to see in two-piece, with the lower somewhat flexible because it needs to be about 2 CM from race surface to be effective, otherwise, it's purely cosmetic. I want to see a manufacturer give function as much attention as looks. Two-piece designs can have first part provide most appearance, structure, and some function, with optional part 2 providing additional function us Camaro guys would like to have over those dirty stinking Mustangs! ; ) A rear spoiler with wicker bill that works with other components for added downforce, and wing for those who can run them. USCA rules do allow a wing, but falls under size/location restrictions. A slim side mirror would be cool, or a CF outer to replace factory plastic. Front fenders with vents might be nice! A deck lid nicely finished underneath, with and area made to accommodate an optional insert that can be painted, upholstered, covered, wrapped, or customized a zillion ways. Personally, I'd put a picture of Ricky Bobby there. Don't forget interior components, there's a lot of pieces that can be recreated in CF. One thing that needs to be brought to market now is an attractive fender flare to accommodate ZL1/1LE monster size tires on 19x11 front and 19x12 rear wheels. It's coming, and most of us are going to want that same performance advantage or look. When a good aero package is developed, flares need to work with it. The components you have now look great, and would certainly help me score desperately needed points in D&E, but my 1LE has a factory engineered aero balance with OEM components that have responded well to the addition of a wicker bill. I'd like to improve function and know it. I have a beta version of DSC Sports V2 magnetic ride controller, I'd be interested in recording shock data at various speeds with factory parts only, add my wicker bill, then add a complete aero package to see how much added downforce the shocks see at various speeds. That's real world, not wind tunnel guesstimates based on formulas that only engineers understand. Alrighty then, that's my short version, lol! If you'd like more of my crazy ideas, shoot me a message, and thanks for asking, not many do.
