if you have the need to have your vet c6 uplifted using a flatbed truck
for whatever reason and they tow it up the ramp face forward the strap they attaché to the front suspension may cause damage !!
as distinked from pulling it up from the rear which has a cross member to take the load any thoughts from members on this
potential hazard.

I'm thinking English is not the OPs first language... However, to the OP, was your car damaged in that way or is this just an informational question? I have not heard on the Forum of anyone damaged in that way. Thankfully I've never had to flatbed any of my Corvettes.

SMH...someone else made a mistake and posted in the wrong section and doesn't have the best English...should we crucify him? I swear some people love to clown on others.

Thanks for the info by the way.

I would think that there are both lift points and "pull" points on front and rear of car. But I could be wrong. And I agree w. bapd77. Let's try to be a bit more forgiving and inclusive of other owners. (stress on word owners)

I had my C6 carried to a dealers' shop once on a flatbed truck. The operator ran 2 cables, with hooks on them, to the front jack points under the car to where the lift pucks fit. He pulled it up on the truck, forward, no problem, no hooking up to the suspension.
