Try entering at an angle. Gurantee that will work.

It all depends on the angle of the curb. Here is another idea. Do the math. Measure everything up and find out. I had to do lots of math to build ramps to get my Z into my driveway. Every time I take my Z out it's a big deal. I have to take my 2 80lb ramps out of the garage and lay them down. After I've pulled out I have to put them back in the garage.

Then again, if purchasing your Z depends on your driveway then I'd stay away from the Z. The love for your Z should supersede any rational decision. This goes for any logic, financial or convenience planning.

I love my Z!!!

pretty sure my driveway is steeper than that and I only scrape if i enter/exit going fast...I kind of have to stop at the edge and inch in but its not a big deal. you should be fine


the Z's front bumper probably doesnt extend as far from the wheels as the eclipse, so there will be more clearance from that standpoint

+1 on angle, the Z actually scrapes at my dealers entrance/exit if you dont go at an angle. My brothers TL does the same thing just go slow and at an angle.

well unless my beater doesn't die this summer the Z will be a second car so I want to keep it in the garage.

Slow angle is what I normally do now so that shouldn't be a problem.

Default buy it now

Your driveway shouldn't be a problem. If it makes you feel better check out my driveway, i never had a problem even going straight in.
