Default C7 Z06 aero metrics

One of the major selling points of the C7 Z06 (as well as a key differentiator among its various aero stages) is the downforce performance.

You have shared that the new Z06 produces 500 pounds more downforce than the ZR1. Presumably this is with Stage 3 (Z07) aero, but what was the airflow speed for this comparison?

I understand there may be a reluctance to release absolute measurements due to a lack of standardization within the industry. And if this is the case, could you instead release relative performance gains among the various aero stages? For example, Stage 2 produces x pounds more downforce than Stage 1 at y mph airflow.

You have revealed that the Z06 produces a net downforce. Is this true for Stage 1 as well?
