Pretty significant differences pointed out between the two. The only partial performance similarity was the hood vent. Did I miss something else?

I wonder why the comparison was made with the 1LE. Is it because they look alike (besides the front splitter, rear spoiler & rockers)?
Prolly because everyone always trying to say to just supercharge a 1LE and it'll be better than the Z/28 for less money. I'm guessing! Which I disagree with!

I am glad that the front spoiler can be removed, I may be replacing one after my wife drives it a few times.

I have seen pictures of the rear spoiler without the wicker bill, and it doesn't have the attachment provisions. Will the spoiler comes with the holes ready to drill? What is the process going to be?

I read some where that you have to drill it yourself. I assume the dealer can do this since it's a "dealer installed option". I would make them do it too so that if there is a mistake they are on the ticket to fix it.

The video is great, HOWEVER, a proper comparison should also include the ZL1, IMHO.

If you think the '14 tail lights look bad, guess what? Thats your opinion, I think Mustangs are ugly, but there sure are a shit load of them on the road, see how that works?

I own a '14, you know why? Because due to the taillights of the '10-'13, I just couldn't pull the trigger, I liked the car, but didn't love the car. When I saw the '14, I couldn't resist anymore...to me, it was perfect....if some people don't think so, I ont really give a rats ass, I drive it you don't. I don't give '10-'13 owners shit for their tail lights, because I'm all grown up and understand that liking the way a car looks is an objective opinion, not a fact...
The 2010-13 Tail Lights are supposed to look like the '68 Camaro Tail Lights. Two on each side.

Can someone please start a "Discuss the Evil/Great 2014 Taillights" thread?!? I realize there's a lot of passion behind the discussion, but I don't think the taillights have much to do with the Z/28 Aero Package...

Agreed... there are countless threads on the subject though. The last thing we need is another one.

The Z/28 is definitely it's own car and has it's on character! So taillights isn't a problem to me, on the Z/28. The taillights on the Z/28 goes with the car looking different to me!

Maybe Mark Stielow needs to make another video -- this one discussing the technical complexity of the taillight assemblies, and how they fully integrate the aerodynamics of the car to reattach the airflow flowing around the back of the car...

LMAO! That just might get them to finally shut up.

Personally I prefer the '10-'13 style but the '14 style looks fine. I'm sick of the arguing about it though.

Personally, I could care less about the taillights. They look good enough for me, and it's a little like complaining when Kate Upton brings cookies to bed -- and then gets crumbs under the covers...

[A guy can dream, OK?]
