Race Ramps...the 2 part...with the extendeders. Without the extentions...it would drag on those rubber protectors under the car.

Maybe it’s just a convertible Z thing. I posted pics a while back and mine rubs a bit without building up a bit just before the ramp. Either way, I do love the ramps.

I bought the 2 piece 67" race ramps: https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/p/rr-xt-2/
The approach angle is good to clear my SS 1LE front lip perfectly and they are rated for up to 12" width tires which was good for the rear tires.


I think the 56" ones work as well as they have the same exact approach angle but they are only rated to a max of 10" rim width. With the 1LE having a rear tire of 11" I just wanted to be covered in all cases, plus the 67" ramps raise the car 2 inches higher.

These are not cheap by any means, but safety is too important to cheap out on IMO.

I used to use home made wood ramps. They were heavy!

Then I used Rhino ramps for years on front wheel drive cars. When I got a Camaro I found that the ramps slid on my smooth concrete floor. They only worked on my rear wheel drive car on pavement.

So I bought Race Ramps. If you can afford the car you can afford the ramps. They are light weight and don’t slide away.

Could be. I really am fond of mine too!

Yeah Daily, those are the ones I bought from Summit and worth the money in my opinion.

I purchased the same ramps as LT4Greg from summit.

I have used many different ramps and jacks through the years.

These ramps work well with the Camaro and they also work well with my
94 z-28.

Excellent product and no regret after purchase and use.

Exactly. Those are the same ones I bought. They are awesome.

Race Ramps!!

I bet have the cheapest set here. I won mine at a track day raffle at Millville NJ.

I am so glad I won them. I did not have to make the "Are they worth it?" decision. if I lost these now I would replace them. No brainer.

Already had the BL5000 and had to buy the extenders to reach the foremost & rearmost pinch welds.

I'll play. I use Rhino Ramps. My deflectors barely rub, if at all. I do not use any extensions.
