ZL1 vs ........
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. |

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

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. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

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.

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.
