I am thoroughly enjoying my '08 C6 and have come to the realization that I will always have a Vette as part of my life.

But the strange thing I have noticed with this car is that, being my 6th C6, it appears lower than the others.

I have had an '5, '06, 2 '07, plus a '07 Z06 and this car scrapes and contacts dips in the road more than any of them. This is driving me crazy!!!!

Is there a reason it would be lower or did GM change the ride height in 2008?

Have you gained any weight this year?

J/K You could turn the screws and raise your ride height a little in the front. I'm sure they don't all leave the factory at the same height.

You've had six C6's. Can't you find one you like?

An experienced C6 road racer I know lets me use his home lift and helps me setup (level) my car for the track. My car was way off from the factory (off from factory trim specs).
