Could my Camaro make it through this dip? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Im going to be living with some family for a couple of weeks because of work. They sent me some pictures of the dip, it was the best they could do without looking awkward lol What do you all think? They have seen a corvette make it. My car does have a one inch drop but no splitter. I'm not to worried about going up but about going down.

Is your car stock?

If so I think no problem. Unless you've dropped it or have low splitter.

But just approach at an angle and you should be fine no problem.

whoops sorry I foot to put it has a 1inch drop and no splitter

Hard to say for sure accounting the springs but imo I think you can, as long as you go slow and at an angle.

SSMickey · 01-26-2014, 03:43 PM

Drive in and out at about 45 degree angle and you should be fine. Get someone to spot for you the first time to make sure you'll clear.

infernostripes! · 01-26-2014, 03:46 PM

Yeah I am more concerned with coming down it

eymang · 01-26-2014, 03:47 PM

can't really tell but if you see the ground gouged that's a good indicator.

2012-1822 · 01-26-2014, 03:48 PM

I still think you'll be fine, just take a little angle. Really don't think you'll need to back in.

When I get my new phone in I'm going to take a pic of this one place I've taken my ZL1 into and you guys will probably freak. But I just hit the angle, car teeters on two wheels for a second and I keep going.

yeah I have a dip like that at front of my road I live on. when I turn on to it, always slowed down and went in at angle and never bumped it. and I mean real slow so there was no bounce to scrape the front.

My drive is just about double that. I do have to come in at an angle but it still works just fine. You won't have any problem with what you have there.

Take it a an angle when pulling in cut it hard coming in and right before you hit it with the fronts backing out cut is so you take it at an angle.

banter · 01-26-2014, 04:48 PM

Just take it slow, 1 tire at a time and it should be fine.

Not an issue just go at an angle. My drive way is worse than that and I do it with out scraping and I have splitter. I'm also lowered like you.
