Question on stock ride height clearance

[lABrit]

Can someone please tell me what the stock ride height clearance is on the front bumper? I need to make sure i can get in and out of my driveway!

Thanks,

Josh.

If it has a regular subdivision curb like mine does the best way to get in and out with no scraping sound is to back up the driveway. I tried pulling in at a 45 degree angle but backing in was the solution for me.

I don't know why some owners lower their Viper even more. These things are low enough already.

I am not lowering it, no way!

I need to find out if the car is lower that my current vehicle, because there is a horrible dip in between the road and the driveway that is actually about 4 inches deep and i always scrape.

How many inches is the Viper front bumper off the ground on stock wheels and ride height?

Thanks, Josh.

I think it is something like 5.3".

If you have a 4 inch dip, you'd better be careful and enter it very slowly at a 45 degree angle.

Coming out in an SRT can be even worse with the rear diffusers.

Good luck.

I actually just found out that it is the cities duty to fix the road where it meets the drive and reported it. Hopefully they'll be out to fix it before the car arrives!

I would just fix it myself if they don't,,,,,,little bit of redi-mix and a smooth trowel.............lol

My Gen II is 3.2" off the ground from lower part of facia to ground (Stock) I don't know about the SRT.

My car is 4.5" at the lowest point.

I have an 04' and I have a gutter out in front of my house and the car has no problem forward or backward straight on. And my driveway is angled up slightly, so I would imagine you could make it. I think I have read that the SRT is 5.1" off the ground.

I'm pretty sure that if my Honda S2000 scrapes, that the Viper will!

My neighbor with the same type of drive has a z06 and he scrapes. But I don't....take it for what it's worth.

Update: The city came and fixed the mentioned area - what a difference!

The 45 degree angle does work on my viper which is lowered.
