Hey Folks

I am measuring out my garage for a 4 post lift for the Viper I plan to get. Can someone tell me on the Gen 1 & 2 cars what the distance is from the base of the windshield center to the tip of the nose and then the highsest point on the hood along the way... I have an 11.5ft ceiling but there is a 16" beam that runs across all 3 bays about 8' back from the front wall. I am hoping to get my 6' tall Rhino under the Viper...

I think I have plenty of room but it's nice to visualize the dream before you realize the dream:ponder:

Thanks

Ok, the base to front of car is 5'6" on both
ground to windshield wiper is 2'11' on the Gen 1 and 2'10' on the Gen 2. the windshield wipers sit above the base so that is what you needed to know. the wiper arms and blades are higher than the hood at any point.
highsest point on the hood along the way appears to be 13" to 14" from the base of windshield.
Hope that helps.
you have to remember the Garage door opener...get the

and gain lots of space.
I have a 12'4" high ceiling and have lots of extra space

Awesome thanks.... Should have asked before but I have seen that the roof height is either listed at 47" or 48" pretty amazing that the roof is only about 12" higher than the hood... That is Sweet!

So far the Greg Smith PS8+ lift is the front runner if anybody has one and wants to wiegh in on what they think of it or any other brand/model lift for that matter... I've been sifting through old threads but current info is always good...
