Ground Clearance?
What is the "official" ground clearance on a stock Vette. I need, at least, four inches for the Auto Train to Florida. Thanks.

My front air dam is 2.5" when the car is in the garage...stock. The static ground clearance is probably not the most important measurement for the auto train...breakover height etc might be more important. For me, it was the important one when getting the car onto an alignment rack.

Thanks for the responses. I will be taking the Auto Train to Florida. I called Lorton, Va. And, they have been routinely transporting stock clearance Vettes with no problems. "Lowered" Vettes could be a problem.

By the way, the only time ground clearance has been an issue for me is behind a yolk or a cyclic, not a steering wheel
