Yes sorry for the click bait but I would like to know how the ZL1 fares against the very annoying speed humps. My complex has these nasty speed humps that are about 1 foot wide. They are the wide and relatively square. One of the other tenants has a C8 Corvette, and I'd be interested to see how he manages the humps, but I don't want to appear as if I'm ogling his car. Oh, part of me sorta is...but he doesn't have to know.

never had an issue with speed bumps or humps. if you are concerned do not lower the car.

have to be careful coming out of some parking lots though. slow, and at an angle or you will destroy the lip/bumper.

Now find a 3 foot speed hump like this and do 90mph over it in your zl1 and see if the results are same.. lol

That's actually the funny part as the driveway in the house that I just sold would've probably been more problematic than the speed bumps out here. Part of me is tempted to go into the Dallas/Fort Worth forums and ask if anyone wants some drone footage of them driving in their cars with the only condition that they have to drive through my complex so I can see how they do over the speed humps. :-)

I'm not sure a raptor or a TRX would survive a 90 MPH run at a hump like that.

I have wide bumps on my street.. the ZL1 is really not that low to the ground either on the front splitter or side skirts. Even the wife bumps you will be ok. As mentioned above, the driveways can be tricky so you ought to be careful.

My C6 is literally 5 inch off the ground on the front and side and still does ok in wife bumps.. the short tall ones are a problem.

I can take some pics of my street bumps and you can compare if you'd like.

Appreciate it. Here are what mine look like. They are rather annoying, but I understand the need for them as there always seem to be people that are a little too immature.

The C8 has a front lift option that will raise the front end of the car. It has the ability to remember 1000 GPS locations, so after the first time, when you come upon the location again, the front end of the car will automatically lift. Of course, a $3K price tag.

Its a nice feature but it takes about 5-10 seconds for the front to raise. Not bad when you're the only car going over a speed bump, but annoying if there's people behind you waiting to go over the speed bump too.

That tech has been around for a while




I actually like the feature although, I hate the idea of having more moving parts that aren't really performance related. I guess it could be argued that preserving the front splitter is a performance feature.

My ZL1 fares much better then my 04 Z06 did. Maybe only 3/4" of an inch higher, but makes a diff!

Those are definitely annoying but you should be ok since they aren’t a steep incline. I hate speed bumps.
