Question Ground Clearance

I've looked at many of the pictures of the track model and in some the front of the car looks real low to the ground ( or atleast something underneath the nose of the car is sticking down ). Being a city dweller, I am in and out of parking garages all the time and I often end up scraping the ground in my c*m*ro. Anyone got a guestimate on how much clearance there is upfront?

channone-

The front part of the aero package is the piece to which you are referring. It is lower than the front of the bumper. You better get used to going into parking lots at wide angles. I am pretty used to it here. Austin's parking lot and road engineers seem to think that extreme dips into parking lots are very good ideas. It's difficult enough, in some situations, to not scrape in a regular sedan, much less a sports car.

It will be even harder not to scrape after you lower it some more

So, the Ground Clearance of the track and all other model is different? I mean is the track model lower?

The front spoiler that comes with the Track (or any other model if you ordered the aero package) will make the car just a tiny bit lower but it doesn't seem like much. What would you guys/girls say, like less than an inch?

I'm happy the front aero spoiler is cheap, and I hope it'll cover the bottom lip of the front bumper. This spoiler will take the punishment without scraping up the bumper so much.
