Angle is the trick

SDB_FTW

I take it you have a garage hoarder for a Dad as well??

Yeah no room for the vette after his car and harley and tools and all kinds of other crap!

As said hit it at an angle, worst thing that will scrape is the rubber air dam and it wont hurt a thing if it scapes some. Mines scrapes each day and there are no issues with mine as if yet.

SDB_FTW

That's for sure. I scrape the air dam on EVERYTHING, including my own driveway (even at an angle), which to the naked eye seems flat!

Looks no worse than mine and I don't even get a scrape. As others have said, take it at an angle.

Going up you'll be fine. It's coming back down that will make your "skin crawl" I have the worse f*&#ing driveway, so I know. The air dam flexes on the way up so you'll hear very little, but coming back down it goes against the flex and you'll hear just an AWFUL sound. However, if you take a 45 degree angle into the street it should only scrape the air dam ... not the nose

I have to keep extra air dam pins (there are 2 pins as the air dam is actually 3 separate sections pinned together) and replace them b/c they break from the scraping I looked into having the driveway re-done, but $13K was the cost Just sucks !!!

This is not that steep. You will have no problems.

However this driveway may cause issues:

I might not be as bad as you think...as mentioned, go slow at an angle and have a spotter help the first time. Don't worry if the rubber diffuser (on the front) scrapes.

Yea but you didn't drive a Corvette then. If your Vette doesn't make it up the drive and he won't move the least he can do is dig up the driveway and replace it with something more Vette-friendly.

would it help if the car was backed into the driveway?

Ramblin On

While the slope apprears daunting, it really is not. I have a steeper angle over what would be the berm (area between the roadway and sidewalk). a sharp angular entry (45 degrees or more) until both front tires are on the apron, then straighten out and drive to the designated parking spot.

REM: Backing out requires the same angular track until the whole Vette is on the street.

Works for me, betting it will work for you too.

Is this real ???

Think of a driveway that you know from personal experience is impassible in a Corvette, and see how it looks on Google Street View. It probably doesn't look so bad. That's the problem. The wide-angle pictures are very misleading.

This driveway doesn't look bad in pictures, either, but you've actually been there, so you know better than us.

Don-Vette

I can't see any kind of angle from those pics. Looks fine to me.

Whoever would buy a house like that needs their head examined Corvette or not.

Agree with all the above that say it shouldn't be a problem. If you are worried, just have someone watch while you pull in. The rubber airdam underneath rubbing is absolutely no big deal as already mentioned. My drive way looks steeper than that and have had no trouble.

SDB_FTW

Yeah I was thinking about this after I posted this thread. I've known this house my whole life, and I can definitely say that the "Google Street View" pictures make the driveway seem shallower than it actually is. No way to know for sure until I get up there next month. If I remember, I'll take a couple of ACTUAL pictures for reference.
