Default C4 height question

Hi,
Perhaps someone can help me. I want to build a set of car ramps that will let me lift the car inside my standard sized garage. In order to figure out how tall the ramps can be I need to know how high the vette is from the ground to the highest point of the hood when the hood is open (vertical).
I don't have the vette yet, so while I'm impatiently waiting I thought I would tackle this little project. Planing to do most of the work on the vette myself, and getting the car off the ground a couple of feet should be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Glen
