Now that's an interesting tidbit......I knew the 3 piece was created to resolve the down force problem and that the center piece was shared by Firebird and Camaro,but I guess I never really thought about the fact that the Firebird spoiler was in production before the Camaro one, so therefore it was the Firebird center piece used on the Camaro and not vice versa. That also makes what Bobby was told about using Firebird spoilers on Z/28s at least partially true, although the rounded end pieces were still not offered on Camaros.

Thanks for the info!
