Front and rear clearance
I'm still deciding what my next car will be, and leaning toward either the Z or the G35C. One thing I want to settle before ordering is whether the car will negotiate my drive way without scratching its front spoiler or rear pipes. I doubt I'm going to find a dealer with one in stock around Nashville any time soon to borrow one for a little test 
My driveway is not a horribly steep slope, but it does have a curb then a gradual slope up into the garage. My current car, a 98 Grand Prix GTP is fine if I angle both into and out of the driveway. If I back straight out, the tailpipes drag.
It seems the Z has much less overhang, which would give it better angles of attack, however, I'm sure it is lower. Anybody with one got one of those curbed driveways to negotiate for feedback?
I know this sounds like a strange question, and I will probably be able to help it some by pouring a bit of concrete into the dip of the curb, but I'm just curious
(No, I don't have a digital camera to show what I'm talking about exactly)
