Need Ramps for your C5?
You need em, we got em! Our 56 inch Race Ramps work for C4's, C5's and C6's. They are 56 inches long with a 10.78 degree approach angle. Weighing only 20 pounds per set, we know you'll like them. Stop by our website http://www.raceramps.com and see our gallery. These are not your grand-daddy's ramps! (even though he'll appreciate how light they really are!)If you have any questions or suggestions, please drop us an email at info@raceramps.com. We are a proud sponsor of Corvette Forum and look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,

You can also purchase Race Ramps from some of our vendors.
Yes, Please check out my Vendors, you can purchase from them as well. This list is growing every week. These ramps are like no other in the world. They are a newly patented manufacturing process. Thanks for all your comments.

2 10ft 2x10s.
Cut both in half.
Then cut in 2ft/3ft sections.
Nail the 3ft to the 5ft, and the 2ft to the 3ft.
Voila. Car's up in the air enough to get a jack under the crossmember to raise it.
I can think of only one mod/maintenance item I've done with the wheels on where only the front can be raised (sway bar). Everything else would require a level car (such as oil changes/brake bleeds) or wheels off anyway (such as any brake work).

.. whats wrong with the $40 Rhino ramps and talk about corvette tax ... 
so if these were made for ferraris or lambos let me guess b/c of the new manufacturing process they would go for $500+...
Come on Ben who are you fooling here, just b/c we have an expensive taste for cars it doesnt mean were stupid

Thanks for your question. We are not trying to get anything by you at all. These are made in America. With all american made materials. The product is priced correct. Ferrari owners get them for the same price, so do Chevette owners (no fun at Chevette owners, Chevettes are cool!). I'm sorry you feel this way.
About the Rhino Ramps, They are only designed for a 7 and 1/2 inch tire. They Skid. They're hollow (Not recommended at a grassy location). They do not work without modifications on C4's C5's and C6's. They are personally "scary" to me.
Thanks for your comments, I hope I can lean you the other way in the future. These ramps work and I'll stand by them.
