Default General Question

.Not sure if this is the correct category for my question, but if there's a better category please let me know. My question is I have a 1996 C4 and it has been ok pulling in and backing out of my driveway. I do this by going on an angle in and out. Now I would like to upgrade to a C7 model which I see sits lower ( 5" +- from the ground ) than my C4. The curb height at the street is about 7"+-. Haven't bought one yet but anyone out there have any suggestions on what to do at the curb to avoid scaping the front end on the driveway pulling in and backing out? Anyone out there run into this kind of problem before? Any ideas other than don't buy the car or move.

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C4 Corvettes, 1984 - 1996:
