I'd guess that ideally these 'fangs' would have gone across the entire front of the car to add downforce but the government regulations forced it to look like this. You can see a similar design in the Viper ACR. I'd suspect for the ZR1 / Z06 there might be a bolt on air dam sent in the truck for the customer to install for "track use only". If you think about it, government regulations are similar to a sanctioning body rulebook in motorsport; engineers must tweak "ideal" designs to fit "in the box".
