car ramps

I would not work under that. I have some solid 2 x 10" ramps that I use just for jack clearance.

So for $24 I bought a set of jack stands they worked great got the car leveled with the ramps I had. What I did was put the ramps on the rear of the Z and backed up, used my 2 ton jack to place the stands in the front done deal, the transmission oil change was a breeze as well as the stinky rear differential, all done and the car shifts like medicated cotton...worth the hassle as it feels like a new car..., thanks for all the replies guys you are the best....Love my Z every day more as I did detail/ paint restoration yesterday and didn't drive it due to the rain. I need to get a dash camera to prove to ppl that my car gets more looks than a naked Christina Aguilera

Let me clarify....I wouldn't get under without having a backup means such as jack stands. It's a neat concept and product, but I would not personally use it as a single point of failure.
