The black car above has it's vertical portions of the tail that are equal width apart when the front is compared to the back....while the gold wing is more narrow in the front and wider in the back.
He is not talking about the angle of the wing-plane

Oh, ok. Most likely trying to speed up the flow to enhance the low pressure region under the uppper wing portion. The higher the wing the less that works, but the higher the wing the more bite it gets in undesturbed air hence more efficiency
