Owners - Any trouble with road clearance?
Knowing that they ship with spring spacers to help with transporter clearance, have you noticed any issues with speed bumps, driveways, etc?

Yes, You Have To Be Careful With The ZL Just Like Your ZR

Had mine for a month with no issue, I've gotten use to backing into spaces instead of pulling into them.

If you don't have problems scraping against things, I don't think you're low enough...

Comparison to ZR1 is completely wrong. I have trouble all the time with my ZR1 - cannot pull into my garage and have to back in. ZL1 is no problem and I have yet to find a speed bump that is a problem where any speed bump is a problem on ZR1. ZL1 is my daily driver and it is perfect combination of driveability, power and ride in my opinion and I find height no problem at all (of course I have gotten used to dealing with ZR1, so this is a big improvement in that category)

So far, so good. The overhangs are shorter than the Corvette, I think....so even though clearance is similar...a good angled approach solves most problems.
I've scraped once...but it was more of an "you're an idiot driving out of the gas station too quickly" sorta thing than the car. LOVE this thing!   EDIT: Rob....I'm thinking you're car is the long-lost twin to mine I've been looking for!

Thanks for the reassurances - it's a relief to know it's not a deal breaker!

Its definately not a deal breaker, but you need to be careful pulling up against curbs in parking lots. The front end wont clear most curbs, so I diuble check lbefore pulling in too far, especially where' I work.

The clearance on this car is NO DEAL BREAKER. It's not bad. It's not great, but it's not ultra terrible either. It's about a perfect balance of having the best of both worlds!
