Z06 ground clearance
I am looking at purchasing a 2017 Z06 that has the exposed carbon fiber ground effects. I have speed bumps I have to go over to get to my house. Does anyone have the ground clearance specs with the ground effects package. I have concerns I won’t be able to get the car over the bumps without scraping.. Thanks

No clearance specs here, but those shown above in Post 3 seem to be about right. As with many of us, I have a couple of speed bumps that I have to negotiate from time to time as well. Commonly held approach is to approach at an angle and as slowly as possible, sliding one front wheel over and then the other. This seems to work. I got into a discussion about this with one of my friends (who happens to own a gorgeous Ford GT) and let him demonstrate with his car first. He's a risk taker --- I'm not.

Clearance specs will vary slightly from car to car due to suspension calibration, but I believe that mine was about 5 1/2” when I measured upon installing the Stage 2/3 splitter, which wasn’t much lower than the Stage 1.

IF the Z06 is stock, you may have some travel UP to raise the car on the stock bolts. most lower theirs, but the screws turn both ways. I find i am much more alert about navigating inclines with the CF front spltter
