I went to order the race ramps and they said that they were not recommended for the Camaro, the ramps are rated for 3000lbs.

Love my Rhinos haven't tried with my Camaro yet i Think the front will be to low with the spliter. But yeah Rhinos hold up our ramp truck International 4700 like nothing.

Wade- the 3000lb rating is not a problem for the Camaro unless you plan on balancing all of the weight on only 2 wheels. Now that would be a trick!

Race ramps for easy storage and lowered cars. Would love this setup but for now my 67in 2 piece raceramps will do.

Did my first oil change at 1k. I used a short section of a 2 x 10 up against rhino ramps. The garage was either a little too damp or it was the crapy rhino ramps, but everything slid 4 feet forward. I thought I cracked my front splitter, but when I got out everything was fine. Slowly backed down and did not hit lip on ramps. This worked with my Evo, but it was awd.

I have been looking at the race ramps, but as previously stated more than once, they are quite expensive. The rhino ramps are $45 and there is no in between. I could see $100-150 for a low profile ramp. Maybe plastic would crack if it was made that thin and long. It seems like a company could make a lot of money if they released a cheap version of the race ramp.

I got the race ramps 67" RR XT and they worked great, no clearance issues at all.

I got some Rhino ramps, they are a little too steep for the front without adding anything. Usually I back onto them and then raise the front and use stands. Gives me more room for those hard to reach places.

The 56" one piece ones are fine for standard height and are $100 dollars cheaper.

Another flavor:
I add optional extra layer for more height when needed.
