Curb Check
After watching this video I'm scared of getting my C7 in and out of my driveway, anyone else fretting over this?!?! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I have the same driveway setup I back in with my C6 and at an angle and I get no scraping :happyanim:

Actually, I don't have a driveway issue. I am more concerned about parking space stops. I need to not pull up so far
|
That vette looks even closer to the ground than a lot of other pictures. Now I'm wondering about the problems with my driveway....
|
Also the car gets lower over time due to the suspension and springs settling in. While shipped they have blocks similar to the ZL1 and 1LE I believe.

holy crappo...thats a curb!!!! why would they do that???? definately get a Ramp.... lol

I have a similar driveway set up, I have just gotten use to working the angles. I pull up along the curb and when I get to my driveway I cut the wheel hard and go in slowly this way the tire goes up first before the lower deflector scrapes. It's a little harder backing out as far as judging before you cut it hard so it wont scrape but you get use to it.
I just have my wife leave the vette in the street or I pull it out for her so it wont scrape. After years of lowered cars, trucks and vettes I've become the master of working the driveway angles and speed bumps as well. |
stock height vettes i think you should be fine if you have a wide drieveway like the one shown i the video. they had ample room to angle the car more, but didn't. if they would of angled the car more while backing out it looks like they would of cleared the driveway.....
