I might be reading this wrong, is this saying that the ZO7 package is returning or that the C7 ZO6 is making more aero downforce than even the C6 ZO7?

The top-rung C7 Z06 will also be known as the Z07 (as was the case with the C6), which has aero aids that create the highest d/f of any production car GM has tested in their wind tunnel...

The Rolls-Royce Wraith has 624hp with a 8 speed auto.

Was that one of your "facts" or was that written by someone else?
