Maybe start another thread (unless there already is one).
Dave, I didn't see a response from Demps so I thought I would jump in. Each Vette is about 4' high at the highest point so I would guess he had at least 8'6" to 9' to the ceiling. Maybe 10'. Here are a couple of pix of mine--9' 10" at the back and about 10' at the overhead door due to floor slope. My garage is 21' x 21' with an 18' wide door (vs the standard 16'). I have a 5' tall car and a 4' tall car and I moved my door tracks up to within about 6" of the ceiling. Also put in a Jackshaft opener and trimmed the horizontal reinforcing rib on the door above the top car and replaced with a "L" channel piece of steel (after the pix were taken; I can now get then top one in facing forward). But it is certainly an ordinary two car garage from the outside. More pix in my albums section if you need them. The new Z06 is roughly two inches taller than the ZR-1 so there isn't much room left.--Bob
