Joel - welcome to the club. You probably have a legitimate concern. I have a rear entry garage and the alley grade is a few feet higher than the house/garage. In my Unique, I am not able to pull staight in or out onto the alley surface without draging the bottom of my bell housing. It is ok though if I hit that area at a 45 degree angle which allows the left front wheel and the bell housing to cross this hump at the same time. Some of the ERA guys here in Dallas have the bottom of their bell housing cut straight across instead of rounded and this helps some. I may do this at some time in the future.

You have to be careful in a Cobra with the low clearance - street or parking lot speed bumps are definately out.

Send me your address and phone number and I may try to drive down to Cedar Hill some nice weekend day. It is probably about 35 minutes from my house.
