Is ground clearance of front air dam the same all years?

[Supercharged Vipermad]

I have an up hill driveway and want to buy a Viper but I need to know how many inches of clearance these cars have and is it the same from 1992 to 2001?

I carefully measured the distance from front air dam to ground on my '01 RT10. It is exactly 4 inches, although I need to double check the tire pressure since it was delivered to me (that shouldn't make that much difference, however, it is one of the few variables that I have). Will have to place some 2X8's in the gutter area in order to get it in/out of the driveway - and my is relatively level! Otherwise, scrape, scrape.

My 97 GTS spans 3 3/8" from floor to dam with 35 psi and stock tires.I don't scrape up my driveway if I get the approch angle right.

How about anyone with an early Viper like 92 to 95. Do they have the same clearance and front air dam style?

Try a chin guard if you are worried works well and is simple to fit.

AS I am at work can't remember the company who make and advertise them but they are in the Viper Mag or email me and I will get you the company name.

Check with your town or city hall before changing your curb because it ain't your curb. <FONT size="4">That is city property.</FONT s>
<u>And if the city property has damaged your car the city has to repair it.</u>
Then the next time the city damages your car the city has to repair it.
etc.
It will take years to have your curb corrected but it's worth $3500 per side sill and a little aggravation.
