Nope. Didn't buy it. If I can't get it in the driveway, easily, I won't be buying the car.

Not possible. Driveway is blacktop and would need to have the driveway repaved and soil/rock/foundation done to support the new grade and it would have to be approved by the HOA and the township then actually get the work done and pay for it....nope. not going through that. I am looking into curb ramps and a few other temporary solutions

The look on the salesman's face when he saw that giant check vanish before his eyes was something I will probably never see again.

Wrong. Porsche turbo S, Huracan. Just to name a few.

Wow! That's to good of a deal and I'm surprised that you even got to see it! I would think it would be gone before they put it back up for sale! The C6 is my favorite corvette!

Just thinking. You would probably be screwed for a new vette or Z/28 too.

It's the length of the GT-R that really screws with it. I believe the vette is shorter and the tapered nose would probably make it. The GT-R nose is basically blunt and comes straight down.

the Z/28 - definitely screwed. Would probably have to pop off the chin spoiler before entering the driveway, which isn't too difficult but wouldn't want to do all the time.

Could be. My father in law just bought a new vette and it drags more than his C6 for some reason when heading out his lane which has a crown in the middle.

Please .... for mentioning a real muscle car and a sweet looking one? That will kill all and everything? Why hate on a 100% Retro looking muscle that a lot of ppl on this forum said that they would or will trade their GT500 or ZL1 for? You should hide in the basemen!
