BS Racing Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Ok I have been searching all over the place and can not find my answer. I am looking to buy a 2011 GT500 but am worried about ground clearance for my driveway. Our 2003 SVT cobra just barely clears at an angle and I can not find a dimension for ground clearance for it. I found that the GT500 has 5.7" Clearance. I need to know if it is higher or lower than my car. With out crawling under one I know a 2011 5.0 GT will fit with no problem. Thanks.

So what you're asking is, what is the clearance of your own car? You can always stack 2x4s and drive over them until you hit, that will give you a +/- 1.5" clearance number ie if you hit 3 stacked but not 2 then you are somewhere between 3" and 4.5". Likewise if you hit 4 but not 3 you are somewhere between 4.5" and 6" Or you can just get out a tape measure and measure it like normal people do. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said so I didn't have to crawl under. It just seems weird that they(Ford) would list the data for 1 and not the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two places it will be an issue are under the front splitter and under the rear bumper. What I would do is measure how high the front splitter on your Cobra is and then measure the height of the GT500's splitter. If they are close, then you should be good to go.
