Looks awesome - I had a similar question and a few others:

1) Did you install this yourself?
2) How much (all-in) did it cost you?
3) Looking at your garage door - am I correct in assuming another car will not fit under your Vette?

^ What model? Did you get your car on with the mirrors out, or did you have to fold them?

Congrats from an ex-Jeffersonville, PA forum member. Be safe with that unit. I have a 4 post lift from the folks in Hanover, PA and I absolutely love it. You will be quite happy with it, I am sure.

Info
I'm in the Syracuse area and put in a Direct Lift about 6 years ago. I called them and they gave me their distributor out of Buffalo NY.
The lift was $ 2,712.00 delivered and installed. Then it started, I had to change the door opener to a Lift master at the side and raise the track $ 951.00. Figured it would be nice to have heat, so added a Reznor gas heater -after insulating the walls …. it ended up that the lift was one of the least expensive parts of the project.
But, it is great for storage and working on the cars.

Default Looks great

I tried forever to find a garage door company to put in a hi-lift kit to move my doors up to the ceiling, I finally found one that said they could do it and they moved the tracks up 4-6”, so needless to say I’m still searching,

Best tool in the shed. Mine has been running strong since 2005! Love it (as does most of my neighbors and friends LOL). The high lift kit for the garage door eluded me for 12 years, but finally I got one done. MUCH BETTER.
