You may have to come in at an angle, but it seems like it's not that steep. Worse case, it will only be your rubber air deflectors that touch, so nothing too drastic in that case. As long as the lower radiator support doesn't scrape, all is good.

Voting for a scrape is always a good bet with a C6, lol!

Hard to tell slopes from photos, but I'd say no worries with an '08 base model. Any scraping should only involve the flexible lower air dam, it can take it. If in doubt, give it a test run.

It wont scrape anything. My driveway is 5x steeper and I scrape the air dam just a little.

you will probably not scape the painted parts of the car but the black portion under the bumper will.

Mine is steeper than that and I only scrape the air dam when backing out a little bit.
