Pricey! I bought some from a guy in Texas for $40.00 as I recall. Mine are used to get the car up high enough to get the jack under the car. They do the job but so does a couple 2X4 s..

Don't know about those but I got the Rhino 8000 ramps for about $35 and they work great.

I also got a set of Rhino ramps from Walmart for about $30. I got the heavier duty ones and I've driven my F150 on them no problem.

BINGO!!!!!! Go to the race track and you rarely see $300 car ramps...
...you see American Ingenuity hard at work! Lots of wooden 6 ft ramp extensions for the guys with the low, low race cars/trucks with no ground clearance.
I'm with John, spend $20 - $30 on 1X8s, 2x4s, etc to make your own ramps.

Try Wal-Mart Auto Dept. Two "sport ramps" type...$39.00. They work perfect for getting my Coupe elevated. There's more important stuff to spend your $$$ on than fancy ramps.

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.

with the front fenders the way they are regular ramps should do the trick if not a couple boards will get you the clearance you need, I'm with everyone else on this one

I bought a set of these ramps to use on my car trailer. After dragging the front spoiler on my 911 off of the car which created a $950.00 fix, and after trying to finagle the SPF of the trailer I decided to buy a set. They are light weight and work well and I have had no issues. The ramps are easy to use, they are expensive but they do work extremely well.
