Has anyone hit their srt 8 front nose on anything yet?? I have come close a few times and is only about 2 inches from hiitting when I pull out of my driveway.

I "thought" I gave my truck some driveway-rash the other day, but when I got out and looked, there was nothing... I havn't come close to hitting anything like parking blocks, etc. but that is because evbery car I have ever owned has been lowered, and my SRT-4 was VERY low compared to the SRT8.

I have hit the car on some steep driveways but all the damage is not visable from viewing the car on the outside. If you look at the bumper on the very bottom you will notice it drops 1 inch lower and the actual bumper so you hit the lower portion before the actual bumper.

I had some minor scraping coming out of a steep driveway. It's on the bottom of the lip spoiler and not visible. If you're gonna drive 'em, they're going to get rock pits and scratches.

Yeah, scratching is inevitable. I spend my summers driving a 03 Z06 and while you do get pretty good with picking proper approach and departure angles, sometimes it's unavoidable. After awhile you realize it's just the nature of the beast.
