Can anyone comment on bumper clearance?
I'd like to know how much better the shorter overhangs are. Has any one scraped the airdam (if there is one) or the fascia over chainging road grades?
My old car would crunch everytime I used the driveway.

I have the world's worst driveway approach apron. So bad that I cannot drive a ZR1 into my driveway - it will shred the dam........

My SS? Not a scrape -- even at speed.

I have to make a sharp angle to get in and out of my driveway with the LT1. very annoying. If I ever can get a 5th gen, this was a big concern

I have an inclined driveway. Scrape the you-know-what with a Corvette. But both the 1LT and 2SS cars are fine. No scraping or contact.

But my driveway may not be as steep as yours.

Just the fact that you tried to drive ZR1 into your driveway...
