Race Ramps for low profile cars.

I use Rhino Ramps. Place a 2x12 in front of it (or any other ramp) and you won't drag.

I still have left over RV blocks that I use for mine..
One block, two blocks, then a 4x6 piece of wood.

I too use Rhino Ramps. Worked well on my C5s and now on my C7.

I have been using the Race Ramps that are two piece. About 6’ overall length. Also, real easy to store.

DITTO for race ramp 2-piece. Makes it easy to drive onto & remove inclined half to get under/out. To keep them from sliding brace couple of 2x4s against wall or whatever in front of them. Easier for A6/8 than M7 but I used for C7 Z51 & 2 Z06s with M7 without running off the end😱. Course seems to be quite a few on here that can’t stop hitting curbs, parking stops, & everything in between.😉

Ditto. I already had a set of Rhino Ramps and didn't want to buy another set just for the 'vette, so I improvised. The 2x12 was free scrap I got from a Conctractor Neighbor in my Business Park. I hand-planed a chamfer so the wood would mesh with the ramps better, then drilled and counterbored a hole for a 3/8" bolt and washer to keep the wood from slipping off while driving up the ramps.

I've used the long, 2-piece Race Ramps for years... at the front or rear with all my cars, including my C7.

Get the 2 piece model so you can slide under the car without the ramp being in your way

Another happy Race Ramps user! I used Rhino Ramps (still have them) for years. Since they wouldn't clear the front of my 2106 without modifying, I decided to give the Race Ramps a shot. Very happy with the decision!!

RR-72-2 .... 72" Race Ramps - 10.8 Degree Approach Angle

My Rhino Ramps are older, but very similar. Simply put a 2x6 or 2x12 piece of wood in front of it and you can easily drive up the ramps. No need to secure the wood. With rear wheel drive, its not going anywhere.
