Stock C5 ride height
I just bought my first Corvette (97 torch red coupe) a couple of months ago and have it "up for the winter" 
as I live in Michigan.
I did have the PRIVILEGE of driving it for a month before going up on blocks and it seemed like the front end is extreemly low to the ground, as I scrape everything
. I am curious if the previous owner had lowered it but I can't contact them. Are there any "stock" dimensions or reference points to tell if the car has been altered or is this car really just that low?
THANKS! and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, YOU GUYS (AND GALS) ROCK!!

The scrapping that you hear is 99.999% the front airdam. it is nothing to worry about, mine scraps all the time.

The car does sit very low in the front where the plastic air dams are. Mine does the same thing and it is at the stock height.
