Best approach to driveways and parking lots?
I'm used to coming into driveways and parking lots at an angle to avoid scraping the font end of the 5th gen ZL1 when I had it...
I use the same approach with the 6th gen, and even look for a better entrance when available. But a few times now I seem to either get the car almost on 3 wheels or she hangs up somewhere else underneath where one of the back tires spin a bit while transitioning to/from the roads. Has anyone found the best approach to avoiding this? As I said above, I already look for alternate entrances/exits and even alternate parking locations nearby. Sometimes it just seems unavoidable.

Have you had your's lowered? I am not having that problem with my 2017 ZL1. With the short overhangs, I don't have issues anymore with driveways or inclines. With the GT3, I hit on everything. I had to approach every obstruction at about a 45 degree angle.

Angled approach is all you can do. If it still hits more than you're comfortable, gotta go around.

Angled approach every morning into my parking garage for work, the concrete is a little broken so I go 3 wheels almost every morning, there’s also one of the larger speed humps in the garage which I angle over in and out otherwise I hear the scrape on who knows what but it sounds metallic like exhaust perhaps. Coming out angled doesn’t scrape but not angled will scrape the air dam every time.
