C6 Z06 Ground Clearance for Speed Bumps, etc

Does anyone have any guidelines for what height speed bumps or other ground clearance issues to avoid?

You have maybe 5" of ground clearance, at most. 2-3" if you count the front air dam. Stay away from the parking spots that have the cement stop, you will tear your air splitter. As I did. As for speed bumps, I basically just creep over them. You have to get used to what looks to high and what doesn't just take it easy.

Just back into spots that have the parking stops. When you hear the exhaust getting loud from vibrating off of it, stop.

that's what I always do an no issues yet (that and learn to use the mirrors or just open the door and look.
