Because I'm pretty sure any of those could beat our Z and Porsche isn't just doing it for show.
The difference with the Porsche's, the Crossfires, and whatever else that has it is they retract somewhere and its not some big aluminum spoiler thats always sitting out. What he's looking for is a wing that tilts. The others are *retractable* wings that disappear and provide a more aesthetic, eye-pleasing look.

To each his own, but theres not going to be much difference between a static wing and a wing that simply tilts.

Appreciate the responses guys. I've owned most of the worlds exotic cars in my lifetime (I'm 48) and I'm quite familiar with how most retractables and tiltables work. I was simply asking if anyone was aware of a firm which made one. As to the intended use, I can assure it will be with tact.
But again, I do appreciate your concern.

Well, then the simple answer, is NO, there is no-one that makes such a wing for the Z. You would have to have one custom designed and made.

I always liked the Mitsu 300GT VR4 that had the motorized tilting wing...

You beat me to the punch. LOL.

You can always try to find a VR4 and get that fitted to the Z somehow. It would probably require quite a bit of work, but it would probably look bad@ss on the back of a Z

For just a few more dollars, the McLaren F1 has a, um, device on the rear of the car that you can manually raise to move the center of pressure forward to help with braking and grip in the wet. Might be worth looking into.
