I keep hearing about Rhino Ramps, but don't know the details. Apparently, they're designed for low vehicles.

I use a floor jack & jack stands.

I use Rhino Ramps. I haven't lowered my car but I still need to lay a short 2x12 in front of them for the air dam to clear.

Rhino ramps are the ones you want. I was always told the silver ones have a better approach angle but someone posted pics here last week of the silver and blk next to ea other and they look identical. I believe the silver is a higher weight rating. If your Vette is lowered you may think the ramps are too tall. Just put a section of 2x12 on the approach and it should get you up on them just fine. Mine is stock height and I have no problem.
Good Luck!

if you're a wood-worker; you could build these "no touch" C5 ramps:

I also use Rhino Ramps - the air dam does hit - but I get up on them just fine.

I just got some 2x10's and mitre cut them and then deck screwed them together. They go progressively higher in "steps" about 12" per section and is enough that the front airdamn does not touch (my car is lowered as far at the bolts allow, without any cutting).
