I don't think 71 is past the fenders and that is probably what I have. The C5 is roughly 6' wide I guess C6 slightly narrower. Wing (ACP) is buried in the garage or I would measure it exactly. i just took a rough measurement to halfway across the car in the tail.

the old World Challenge sizing was based on the Spec Trans-Am series wing...10" chord, 6' span. 72" is large, but you want it out in the clean air as much as possible.

I moved mine up to the roof line which was about 3-4 inches above the picture.
