The Camaro is not nearly as bad as my Sky was, I have taken ours over many of the places the Sky would scrape it's nose and it never touches.
My Monte carlo was as bad as the Sky too.. but it had a long overhang in front of the front tires, the Camaro's nose has a shorter overhang. And a steeper angle of approach.. Of course I have a V6 and the SS suspension is a slight bit lower.

it is a great idea but i dont have any friends with a camaro lol:(

Build a ramp for it

i enter and leave in an serious angle, even plazas and such.
My car barely clears my driveway, maybe a half an inch tops.
