If a car pushes - high speed sweepers can become real pucker factors - if a driver pushes the car hard and she won't rotate. But for visual effects it looks nice indeed. Just don't run it at Mosport or the Glen
The wicker bill was supposedly an improvement for the Z/28.

Indeed. Different chassis/balance tho.
Apparently Z/28 could be a bit nervous at times. 1LE is incredibly planted. But it can always be taken off so presumably no harm? If the install is permanent I wouldn't do it for performance gain reasons that's for sure. Just IMO of course.

Yes the wickerbill was helpful on certain tracks for the Z/28 however I have yet to see any gm engineers tell us that a wickerbill benefits the 6th gen in any way. I liked the look on the Z/28's but only because I knew they helped. As a cosmetic only upgrade its not worth it for me.
