GT350 Curb height

[HizliBullet]

I actually measured the front clearance, its the exact height as my xperia Z3.. 5.75 inches

Ok, so my curb is 5" tall, and fairly steep at I think a 35 degree angle and roughly 13.5" long. So, maybe I'm good? Although I've read in other threads that the angle can't exceed 9.5 degrees for loading onto a trailer. That can't be right, is it?

Here is a picture of the approach angle. You guys think I need a ramp?

That's rough but you should be fine with the right attack. Do it first time with a friend watching and have him stop you if it gets close. Take it slow.

Check out bridjit.com for a possible solution to the gutter.

Coming from a C6GS with mag ride(no gas pressure in shocks to add a tad of lift) and having the air dam (under the car, not the front splitter) drag on everything, the GT350 is a Jeep, no kidding.

It's not as bad as the Boss 302 LS but you have to be careful!

I have yet to take ownership of my Black on Black GT350 (production week of 1/4). One fear I have is the low curb height for the front. Several inches lower than most cars (including the GT).

What is the experience parking this car against the curb etc? How resilient is the front spoiler from getting curb bumped.

I was thinking I should probably get used to back in (using backup camera) everywhere..

Steve, you have a valid concern, my friend. I've had mine for 3 weeks and I'm sure glad I don't have to use my Shelby as a daily driver. There are literally 5 places that I frequent, (grocery store, etc.), that I either cannot enter their lot, or I have to reroute my direction of attack. The slightest dip results in contact, especially straight on. Don't worry about bumping curbs in the front, you'll be backing into all public parking relying heavily on the rear camera. (It's dead-on accurate). Don't even think about head-in parking. LOL:headbonk:

Any suggestions on off the shelf driveway ramps? I have a regular driveway that isn't too steep, however the street has a hump. I scrape everytime I try to drive in and I don't even have the splitter installed yet.

I'm thinking of getting either 3/8" steel plates made, but they're heavy. Id like to find something else if possible. I've been looking online. Suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!
