Default C6 ground clearance?

Can anyone tell me what the ground clearance is on my 06 vert? I want to take it on the auto train and they require a 4" min. No I don't need anyone to drive it for me to D.C. but I appreciate the offers I'll probably get. Thanks

Default clearance

I do not know the exact number, but at 4" you are probably close, especially if you have lowered or modified your suspension. I cannot even run mine through a car wash. I would recommend, if you are not sure, to just get down with a 4 inch block of wood and run it underneath. If it clears everywhere, then you are probably good to go!

I just measured my Z-51 on the drivers side at the bottom of the rocker panel. It measures 4.5" with the adjusting screws turned up all the way and the first rubber ring cut. On a OEM ride height car i would add 3/4" to a total estimated clearance of 5.25 inches.

The front air dam is, I think, 3.5".

You can remove the two front side air dams and leave the center because it's rubber and you should clear it.
