Fair enough. Just remember a wing adds downforce but it also adds drag and will reduce you max speed on the straights. Avoid the temptation to try and set it to the highest setting, set it conservative and see what happens. Wings are a balancing act of high speed corner performance vs straight away performance.

I know quite a few people that successfully run the APR wings, but I've also seen one catastrophically fail at 150 mph in a high HP car. With the Z's limited HP you'll be fine.
