      @tescoshortage Рік тому +1

      It’s probably not a Z51, but there’s a small chance that the testers have simply removed the rear wing. They’ve removed the speed limiters of previous cars (like an F-150 Raptor they managed to get 134 mph out of), so a rear spoiler delete is not completely out of the question.
