Been here for a few years (technically, not realistically). See update later in the thread.

Congratulations on coming into the fold.

As noted, ask in the C5 and C6 General Forums for specific advice. Basically, the C6's have about 3.5" of clearance, give or take. Good luck.

Noted and done. Sorry if I was out of line.

3.5" WITH the air dam or in spite of it? Is C5 higher or lower? I was trying to find that info but failed.

Welcome. C6 here now, and had a C5 before. I'm thinking that the front wheels are more forward on the C6, thus lessening the steep driveways somewhat.

Bump for update. Well it was determined that right now a Vette would NOT fit in my driveway (thanks for the offers to try from a few of you), so I ended up selling the WRX outright and buying a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X SE. Octane Blue Pearl, #297 out of 340 made. Only 53 in my color. Love the car, sad it's not a Vette.
