C7 clears RR-XT-2 Race Ramps
The air dam on a base C7 will just barely clear the 10.8 degree incline of the RR-XT-2 model Race Ramps. If you need to keep the car level while doing maintenance, consider the wheel cribs as shown in this thread:

The MAP price for the RR-XT-2 ramps is $334. Just about all Race Ramps resellers include free shipping. Some resellers (including Reverse Logic) offer coupon codes which lower the price a little more. The current offer at Reverse Logic is $334 less 10%. The only State we are required to charge Sales Tax in is Pennsylvania.

With the current $20 factory cash back rebate, the RR-XT-2 ramps cost just over $280.
If you want a little more clearance consider the RR-80-10-2 ramps which have an 8.5 degree incline or the RLL-80-2 ramps with a 6.8 degree incline.

Product is good, but I would ask them to make you wider ramps. I think they make the ramps as narrow as possible to keep product costs low. Wider ramps will cost you a few more dollars, but much easier with wider tire on Corvette and other higher performance vehicles. Otherwise, margin for error moving on & off ramps is small.

You are probably using the 12" wide Trak-Jax in conjunction with your lift. Most of the service ramps we offer are 14" wide, and all of the drive-on trailer ramps are at least 14" wide.
I own two pair to simplify moving a few cars on / off car lifts in my garage. Didn't understand at the time Raceramps could customize ramp dimensions.

I have the 10" high ramps and used them with my C6. I have not tried them with the C7 yet but they look like they will be ok. The wheel cribs look like they might be good to have too. May get a set of them.

Placing a wheel chock in the path of the rear tire is a good way to help prevent a car from overriding the top edge of the ramps. You need to measure the distance (equal to the wheelbase) from the stop on the ramps to a point where the rear tire will contact the wheel chock at about the same time that the front tire contacts the stop on the ramps.
Once the car is on the ramps you can reposition the wheel chock behind the rear tire.
The first time you do this you can measure the distance between the leading edge of the ramps and the wheel chock and use that shorter measurement to position the wheel chock the next time you use the ramps.
