C7 options
I am looking at possibly picking me up a C7, wanting a grand sport, may get a stingray if I find a deal. This will be my first sports car. I have a semi steep driveway. Do any of the packages, 1lt, 2lt, 3lt, have the front end lift option on the C7?

You'll need to fix your incline percentage. Car never had lift.

You need to back into the driveway when coming home.
Depart slowly and inch over the curb at the street to avoid front splitter scraping.

You can manually adjust the suspension height on the C7s. With the stage2/3 front splitter, you have a bit over 5" clearance. Personally, I stay off the shitty roads. Knock on wood, 0 issues since I bought my Z in December of 19

Thank you for bringing this up. I forgot to mention that due to my driveway, I actually slightly lifted my Z when I brought it home. Took measurements of my buddies Z07 and matched his height. The lowest point of my splitter is 4 and 15/16ths off the ground. Is your car lowered by a previous owner possibly? I don’t remember having to raise mine that much

No front lift on the C7 but I think the C7 sits a bit higher than previous generations - at least it sits higher than my C5 did.
Adjusting the approach/exit angle when dealing with a steep driveway/road obstacle can make a huge difference too.
