Default C6 Approach angle

I have a C5 and am thinking about getting a C6 down the road. I am fabricating a ramp to drive the vette up on and I want this to work for a C6 as well, in the event I get one. Does anyone know what the maximum approach angle would be so the nose or the air dam don't hit prior to front tire contact on a C6?

MikeMercury on the C5 forum has some DIY plans for ramps and I believe he has angles on the plans. Do a search for his name, I believe his web sight is in his profile.

If a C5 will drive up it so will a C6.

My XL Race Ramps have a 10.69 degree ramp angle. Nothing drags on the ramp.
