First off, this post is simply for Las Vegas Z06 Owners, probably in the North / West part of town.

I first tried to Test Drive a z06 and/or a Grand Sport and the dealer wouldn't let me...and he said it was a bit too far even if I could test drive one. They even said they don't test drive new z06 and did not have a used one in stock. SMH

So here it goes....

I purchased a z06 and have yet to pick it up (it's in another State and I'll be going ASAP)

I have a steep driveway (not really according to some forum members) - people on the forums say it would be fine and that I would not scrape; however I am still paranoid to see if it will scrape and I want to be prepared if it does.

Are there any amazing generous z06 owners that would be willing to come to my house and see if you would scrape. Obviously, if you were about to scrape I would say let's not risk it and I'll look into different alternatives; possibly reversing into my garage and slowly leaving the driveway.

I got this idea of asking from reading some of the older threads about scraping / driveway angles and such.

Thank you in advance. Please DM or Respond here.

Always enter and exit at a 45 degree angle.

100 % agree but unfortunately, I currently have a roommate who takes up one side of my 2 car driveway... so I think that'll be sometimes difficult especially since the curbs come up right after my driveway.. annoying

Can you put a small board or something down to mitigate it? I think I've seen StreetSpeed717 do that in his videos.

If you find someone to come to your place and see if they scrape, let me know. I have something in my fridge that smells funny and I would like them to taste it for me.

Make the roommate park on the street. Or clean out your garage.

Thank you for all the responses;!

Unfortunately, my HOA is a bunch of Jerks so that's why I am worried about putting a ramp or a board (however, I may do this and then ask for forgiveness)...I've thought about moving already but...with putting some upgrades in my house I think I'd lose a bit of money .

Garage is cleaned out for both cars (BRZ and Z06) so that's the goal and the keep my roommates truck out. However, I am thinking about just keeping my z06 in the garage and keep my brz out on the driveway (it's old, 2013 - 60k + miles - paid off - paint chips galore)

No mom or wife?

Live in Eldorado Estate--North Las Vegas. I always go in with a slight angle. The spliter never hits, but the flexible air dam hits most of the time. The bigger problem is the parking lot cement blocks at the end of the parking spots. You need to get a good feel where the front of the car is. The front camera helps, but you still need to be careful.

This is my driveway - Roommate will park on right side with a truck.. so maybe if I come in from the left and not hit the curb.

You should be backing it in so your passenger side is next to the wall. The driveway is plenty long enough to come in at 45 degrees and straighten it out before entering the garage. Your car will have a backup camera. It shouldn't be very difficult.

Bridgit.com, check out the website, about $250 or so, they work great.

It is hard to be sure of perspective from a photo but from what you posted I cannot imagine your driveway creating a clearance problem. With the C7 it takes either a very deep dip at the transition from road to driveway or the sudden transition to a very steep drive to create a problem and it doesn't look like your location comes close on either of those problem areas.

I was worried the first time I took my 2016 Z06 into a hotel parking lot in very hilly Townsend TN but what looked like a very abrupt transition didn't come close to create a scrape issue.

On edit, you may have a slight scrape with the air deflectors located just in front of the front tires but they aren't hurt by it and are easily replaceable if they begin to show bothersome wear. The splitter should have no clearance issue in your driveway.

I think you mean bridjit.com

Website says $399

The street seems to be on a grade. If you come in from the right you eliminate any chance for scraping.

Thanks everyone! I'll let you know how I do! The assurance really making me feel better.

My BRZ almost scrapes (about 1.5 inches of clearance when tires are in the rain gutter)

I live in NW Vegas, I have a steep driveway but can make it at 45 degree angle. I'd be willing to come by if it helps, PM me...BTW I have Z07 Pkg.

If truck is parked on the right, you would have a better angle coming in from the right and pivoting around the truck as you make a right turn.

Thanks for the advice and PMd

That's the one, looked back at my invoice, I paid $280 plus $34 for shipping about a year ago.
