I'm going to move this over to the C5 General section, but I used a set of Rhino Ramps on my C5 and they worked just fine. Bought them at WalMart. Race Ramps do offer more options for you and they are a better quality product, but they also cost quite a bit more.

56” Race Ramps will work if your car is stock height. I use the 2 piece version (the ramp part is removable) so I can get under more places.

Two piece makes it easy to get in from the side when it's up. Also- they are SO light and easy to move around. Definitely not cheap but I'm so glad I got them and glad I got the 67" ones.

I bought when they were having a sale. That was in 2016 - I think they can be had for less now.
Also Fred is AWESOME!
Post 6 here shows them with my C7 - I use them with my C5 and they are perfect. It shows them with the ramp portion removed as well.

Same here paid $40.. The front air dam scrapes a little but still able to oil change okay. My driveway is sloped so I turn the car down hill then drive up on them

One more vote for Race Ramps. Light weight makes them easy to use and store, they don't slide around, and the two-piece design makes getting under the car much easier for this old man. They are pricey, but I think the safety and convenience is worth the investment.

Yep, the manual transmission does make things a lot trickier, but the longer the ramp the easier it is. The 87” race ramps are not bad to climb at all. One thing to consider is whether you need to get the rear in the air too. Once on the ramps I can no longer fit a jack under the rear. Roll ups for the rear are intended for that purpose. I find it very tricky, especially with my double garage door. By the time I mess with all that it’s quicker and easier to get the car onto a QuickJack. .
