Let's talk ramps - Camaro ramps - Page 2

I have the two part raceramps, designed for low cars.

They were around 300 dollars for the pair.

A little expensive, but well worth in my opinion.

oil change? just straddle a ditch. exhaust work? who needs exhaust.

i'm still using 20 year old rhino ramps.

If you've got a big coin purse and some good garage storage this KWIK LIFT might do the trick. On a side note did you say new CAMARO? I thought you just got a Dodge? I'm so confused.

I'm lowered on BMR springs and have a front splitter. No issues with approach angle.

I was previously also using some homemade 2x12 wood ramps, the issue there is that they would frequently slide when pulling up onto them; and most importantly they were CRAZY heavy. The Rhino Ramps fit perfectly on a shelf above my garage entry door.

Same here, mine are over 15 years old and still going strong. Can't tell you how many times they have come through for me and friends. Sports cars, muscle cars, sedans, econoboxes, pick ups, suvs, it has handled them all year after year, great product.

Many options... from DIY to foam based ( race ramps ) to plastic based * rhino etc).

This is my DIY, 3 piece, can be separated so only tire section remains. Boxed 3/4 plywood, bit narrow for camaro 305 stompers, but still usefull.

There was another thread about this where i posted the plans.

What do you recommend?

When did you get a new Camaro? The last we knew you told us you had a Challenger Wide Body!

Did not even realize it was Farmer, he trolled us all

Good one sir

FarmerFran · 05-19-2021, 02:04 PM

No, I still have the Challenger but did not want to mention that, I like the knowledgebase here

But I really am looking for a good ramp option.

I like everything about this forum, which is why I don't want to go to another. Maybe if I stick some bowties on...

I can’t provide recommendations on this topic until I see a picture of the 305’s on your new Camaro!!!! (Date stamp on picture would also be great)

I like race ramps myself as the Camaro sits to low for Rhino Ramps.
