He's referring not only to the rear wing (wing 1), but also the canards in the front (wings 2 and 3? or wing 2?)

Regardless, that is a proper C8 Z06. My front "wingy thingys" are removed right now because autocross. In reality....you see VERY FEW Z07 Z06's in the wild.

Your powers of observation suck. Probably a side effect of the jab.

I remember when Corvette guys called big wings “rice cars”.

Now they all want them.

Speaking of Callaway, the 1988 Callaway Sledgehammer was God-awful I don't care how fast it went.

They only built one. I wonder where it ended up?
