Default Bay area (Burlingame) help

I am looking to get a C7 Z06 but I don't know if it will get in my driveway. My past C5 and C6 Z06 would fit as will a 2012 Viper. But before I get a C7 Z06 I want to make sure it will get in my basement parking. The local dealer won't let me take one over to try it. He's 3 blocks away. If anyone has a C7 Z06 and would drive it in my parking spot I would buy them lunch, pay their gas, whatever. I just want to know for sure it will fit.
Merry Christmas and thanks for your help.

If the c6 had the zr1 ground effects you will be good especially with a protekt scrape protection on your splitter I highly recommend it. Good luck.

i presume you’re talking a width problem. Measure the narrowest part of your driveway.

turn radius is usually not a problem but your looking at a 8ft garage door being a tight fit unless you fold a mirror in.

Thanks Parcival but it's definitely not a width problem. The driveway is 2 car lanes wide. It's getting off the street I'm concerned with. My old C6 was no problem nor was a Viper I rented a C7 Z06 on Turo in Vegas and a Turo Viper here. The Viper noise was a deal breaker though I loved the way it handled and looked. Just trying to make sure the C7 Z06 will fit. I'll rent one on Turo and try it but streetcityz06 may bring his car buy for me. Thanks again

ah i see.

most likely ok if you come in at an angle unless there’s no ramp at all.

My C7 has more frontal ground clearance than my previous C5 if that is of any help.

I would love some help. I'm in Burlingame (home) thru January 13th then back January 24th. Turo is an option but before I go that route I know there are forum people that want to help. Thanks.

Thank you SFserega415. Your Z51 pkg Stingray scraped for sure but...1 inch or less of clearance it made it. So, I'm in the market for a Z06. Much appreciated. And thanks to everyone who called/text and responded to this request. Your help was appreciated.
