I think the t-hook and the #5000 each straps or better is the safest way to go with the double X tie down.
But it is your car.

also, is your car lowered and is there any clearance issues?

I've put about 30k miles on my Z06 in the last two years... all on a trailer. Same method as AU N EGL describes above. Don't forget to take it out of gear once you get the straps on. You don't want it bumping around on the drivetrain the whole time.
