i actaully thought about this too, but i doubt it. just seems more likely the person had bad taste but i could be wrong.

At an intersection of certain state, certain city.....a ricer civic and a z06 came to a stop at the traffic light
Ricer Civic: "Hey yo, is that the corvette? that's like almost as fast as my souped up civic rite?"
Corvette: "umm....yeah....I think urs might be a little faster with NOS"
Ricer Civic: "Yeah, but just a bit....how about a race with sidebet"
Corvette: "What's in ur mind"
Ricer Civic: "umm....well, I kinda spend all my money on my car stickers....so if u don't mind I would like to bet my aerodynamically efficient rear wing"
Corvette: "Sure.......I could use a wing :roll: "
Lights turn green.......................we all know what happen.......
Ricer Civic: "There you go dawg....ur car is fast man, I can't even see ur tail lights even I put a type R sticker at my side......shiet.....<handing over the wing>, but I think ur car is missing some torque tho, it didn't even spin the wheels when we start"
Corvette Driver: "Yeah man, I forgot I was starting in 3rd. Just learning how to drive this thing. Wait ...shiet....I don't have enough trunk space to put ur wing...ah what the hell, I will just screw it on as a trophy"

Far from the worst that has been seen though. The truth be known, that is one of the few cars that can actually get benefit from such a wing... so at least it not "rice" by definition - right?
"rice" mods provide NO performance enhancement, and we know that a 400-odd HP rear wheel drive car can actually make use of such a wing.
Now is it appropriate? No.

well, since he has all the extra downforce (likely to have more drag then downforce) perhaps his excellent high speed handling charactaristics are ruined by having severe understeer at speed as opposed to mild understeer... thereby upsetting the delecate balance of such a wonderful vehicle... but i doubt he'd notice that...

Well - with the Z, you can call on some off-throttle oversteer to balance everything out... 
The predictable nature of the oversteer off the throttle is what makes the car such a pleasure throw around..
