C8 front ground clearance?

I bought a Bend Pak 4 post lift a year ago in anticipation of my C8 HTC arriving. The Vette will reside above my beloved Challenger Scat Pack which has approx. 6 1/2 inches of front ground clearance. The Dodge will barely clear the approach to the lift using the Bend Pak ramps. I would really appreciate it so much if one you folks that have taken delivery of a C8 would actually measure the front ground clearance of your new toy. I'm getting a 1LT and don't want to spend the extra bucks to get a 2LT plus the front end lift option. Hopefully it is 6 1/2" or more!

based on the measurements, the vette is way off...i have seen a ruler in pics where the splitter is like 4.5" off the ground and the lift adds 40mm approx 2in

I'll try to measure mine tonight but just for reference the car I had before the C8 was 2015 Challenger SRT which was lowered 1.7" with H&R springs. I have a really bad lip on the entrance to my driveway which would scrape both the front and the back of my Challenger everytime I went in or out of the driveway. It was so bad I actually sheered of both jacking point rubber pucks.

My new C8 has not once scraped or rubbed on the same driveway which surprised me quite a bit. I have a 1LT without front lift and don't think I would ever need it.
