Default How do you tie down a C6 in a trailer?

Has anyone had any experience hauling a C6 in an enclosed trailer yet? Is ground clearance a problem? What is the best way to tie it down and do I need any special hooks or straps to be sure to do no damage. I'll be picking up my C6 in a week and I would hate to get there and not be prepared to haul it home. I would like to drive it home but I,m not sure I can work that out. Thanks in advance for any help.

There are oblong holes in the frame area. T hooks work great. Don't tie to the suspension ! The oblong holes in the frame area are the same ones that the factory transports use.

Though the slotted holes remain in the frame, they are no longer used to tie cars down when shipped. The C6s are now tied down on the transports using tire straps so that there isn't any tension on the suspension.

Have a great day,
