Kwiklift!
Well, I originally bought some Race Ramps (which were nice ramps), but I was really annoyed at myself for spending that much on ramps. When they arrived, my [stock height] Z06 wouldn't clear. I bought the ramps specifically because they had a picture of a stock C5 Z06 on the ramps WITHOUT the extensions. That sent me over the edge, and back they went. Nice product, but not for me.
I called Kwiklift, and the owner Danny happened to be coming through my city the next day with a used lift. Danny is a car guy, which is cool, and he's extremely nice. I am extremely satisfied with this lift, and it provides so many more possiblities than ramps. I have never trusted jackstands, either. It's not my first color choice, but it saved me time and money so I'll deal.
I haven't put the Z on it yet, but I did test it with the wife's car

My sentiments exactly. Nice product, but ended up returning it and will probably get two jacks from Costco for the same price. I really like the Kwiklift, but I wish there where an option where a different lifting point could be used if needed (for cases where the wheels need to come off).
.. maybe be something else for me to add to the list when i buy my house

That's a very nice lift. I wouldn't mind one since my garage ceiling is too low for a full lift.

The KWIK LIFT can be ordered with a jack bridge which is adjustable anywhere along the full length of the runways. With a bottle jack on the jack bridge, you can easily remove front or back wheels for work.
In the second (rear view) image, you can see where the original poster apparently has two jack bridges in the background...

I've had mine for a few years now and think it's great.
A few things I've done to make it better was buy a roll 4"x60' of abrasive type stuff like they put on steps to keep from slipping on the middle rail, hepls tremenduosly from tire slippage, Also I mounted a mirror on the wall in front of it at an angle to help me align getting on it better.

Good purchase. Danny is a great guy and very in tune to his customers. I have had a kwiklift for about a year now. I had looked into a full size lift but not enough height in the garage asd I have a room over. The kwiklift was one of my best buys. Great product. Get the center bridge and you will be able to remove wheels.

Danny and Mike are definitely great guys to deal with. I bought a kwik lift from them, and just now bought the Rotary Revolution lift - it was delivered yesterday. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend...
