[Anonymous]

Morning guys. Random question time. Does anyone know the height of the ground clearance of the GT? and is it the same all along its length? told you it was random. cheers. :beer:

Unsure if this helps in anyway? About 11.1cm?

That's great thanks fella. I live on a cul de sac and the only safe way to park is with one side of the car on the pavement. My RCZ arrives next Friday. Now all I need to do is measure the height of the kerb lol.

Good stuff! I'm sure it'll all make sense to your neighbours why you are measuring the curb when the RCZ finally arrives! If you bump up the curb and off again at an angle you should be fine.

Be careful of the 2 lips that protrude under each corner of the front bumper but I'm sure it'll be fine

Be very careful of the wheels. There aint a lot of tyre and so the wheels can be easily damaged.

Ok now I'm terrified lol. I'm going to pop out in a minute with a tape measure. I'm sure the neighbours will understand when the car arrives (hopefully). They'll also be wondering where the two large teenage sons will be sitting. On a bus presumably. ;-)

I had a similar problem. :wtf:

When I pull into my drive the sills miss the ground by less than inch and half, due to the drop on my drive from the pavement. If I get the angle correct it's fine. If Mrs H pulls in like a Grand Prix "pit stop", it's not so graceful :?

In fact I'm now on my 2nd set of front mudflaps because they catch the ground as the car comes over the lip and eventually just wear away and split, even though the flaps are the small molded type .
If you look at the picture of my car and drive it looks like all would be ok, but the problem is the gradient that runs from the pavement where it meets the drive down to the road. Front wheels go down the drive, whilst the are ones are still coming up the pavement. :crazy:

NB.
Cul-de-sac's + kid's + football + RCZ + parking on kirbside = :thumbdown:

Oh dear. And I thought I had problems :-(
The biggest problem is that where Iive we have a real multiple occupant problem. Essentially there are too many cars per household And not enough road to park on. Occasionally I have to park up to half a kilometre away. Trust me, if this happens with my brand new 13 plate GT I'm bloody sleeping in it! Lol.

I like the way you think Seamus!! :thumbup: I managed to rip off the front right mud/dirt guard on mine withing days of taking dekivery just taking it up the lip of my driveway! :-( Have we taken this into consideration when considering ground clearance?! :eusa-think:

Oh dear. I have to be honest. I've only ever see the RCZ once on the showroom and once in the gym car park lol. You'll be telling me next I won't be able to get my 10 man tent in the boot and my bike on the roof ;-)

Wow! Does Dr Who know about the RCZ? ;-)

I did advise him of it but, strangely for a time lord, he's never really been one to embrace modern design! :???:

If you can mount the kerb using the flat bit of someones drive (if you know what I mean), I never mount a kerb anymore without using the ramp up off someones drive.

Ah....unfortunately no one has a drive on our street. I'll just have to parallel park against the kerb. Luckily the RCZ is quite a narrow car so it won't stick out too far. Yeah...right ;-)
