I happen to like the wing. I hope the Z06 goes back to the light weight, track focused versions before the C7.

There is no way it can achieve the lower weights of the C5 & C6 Z06. Not without using exotic materials like magnesium and lots of carbon fiber.
One of the reasons the C5 Z06 was so light was that it used components that barely held up and in some cases didn't hold up. I had 4 of them and all 4 of them required upgraded rotors because the stock ones would warp. Same with tranny and clutch components. It was light, but made cheaply.
It can be done, but not at the price point GM will price the Z06 at. Porsche manages to do it with the GT3, but that is $160K base and decently optioned closer to $200K.
