The Race Ramps were largely developed for the C5 (and C6) Corvette crowd. The long and low overhang of the front bumper/air dam on these cars makes most "less expensive" ramps not an effective option (even when using 2x4 to prop the front a little). I have an '02 Z06 and even my home made Cobra ramp system (well documented here on CC) won't work with that car (the air dam hits hard and the mid section of the 'Vette just under the door valances bottoms out). I ended up building a different bridge section and ramp extensions to make them work, but it's still a PITA to change it all out. The Race Ramps are "nice to haves" from my viewpoint...I now use lengths of 2x12 stacked in a pyramid fashion (18" apart) to achieve the desired effect for the Z06. Should work on a Cobra/Brock Coupe/GT40 as well.
