Default Ground Clearance Concerns

I'm curious to hear from those who have driven their Z's around town. Have you had any trouble clearing speed bumps, road dips, or entrance ramps to garages etc? I'm very concerned that the entrance ramp to my apartment building will be too steep for the Z. There are several corvettes that can make it Ok, but the resident Ferrari 344 has difficulty. Any thoughts? This may really be a deciding factor for me. Long beach is also full of road dips.

id say if a corvette can manage the incline, the Z should be ok as well. it looks like the corvette is lower and also has more overhang in front of the tires.

I agree. The Corvette's approach/departure angles are worse than the 350Z's if for no other reason than the fact that the front/rear overhangs on the Z are shorter.

where did this figure come from? Sounds OK if it is correct.
Thanks,
