Default Approach Angle

Does anyone know what the approach Angle is for the Stingray (Z51 if that matters at all)? Also what's the max angle of driveway/curb/speedbump you can take w/o the front lift?

Approach angles:

Base / no E60 11.8 degrees
Base with E60 14.2 degrees
Z51 / no E60 = 9.8 degrees
Z51 with E60 = 11.1 degrees

** E60 = Front Lift Option

Default Apple of my eye.....

Most newer iPhones (5s +) can be used as a level. And will show the incline angle. Open the Measure app and tap Level. Maybe Androids but don't have one.
