Scraping driveway?
So I'm about to buy a vette, my driveway isnt the best, even my 2014 impala scrapes unless I come in at an angle.
How resilient are these cars to such driveways? Where I am, everyone's got something like this!
Thanks!

That little air damn will scrape on a high spot in the road. But, they're pretty tough, and cheap to replace if needed. Not a thing to worry about, just go in at an angle like you do your Impala.
While a driveway shouldn't be the reason for picking a base coupe over a GS or other model with a front splitter, keep in mind that front splitters generally have less clearance.
I guess that's why I replaced my GS splitter with a lower hanging ZR1 splitter -- and I have a sloping driveway. Angle that puppy and enjoy a wide body.

Mine scrapes too, as does just about everybody's, but they're pretty tough. It doesn't mean you can come flying into the driveway though. i almost stop and just creep till I get past the scrape.

Maybe some well placed ramps of some sort would do it but if the Impala scrapes, I don't know about the Vette NSF
