What's a Batwing????

I've seen it mentioned in several posts, I'm sure it's probably near or part of the differential or somewhere back there. For those of you with too much time on your hands... feel free to respond with "an anotomical part of batman's costume that helps him fly" or some dumb poopie like that.

What really scares me is that first I asked two different corvette mechanics (one of which rebuilt my motor, the other is a friend who sells corvette parts nationally and is a corvette tuner - listed on this site) neither of them know what it is either...

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom with me!
