Default Will a GT3 with FAL make it up this driveway?

Will a GT3 with FAL make it up this driveway without dragging the front lip? My 993c4s drags the muffler a bit unless i hit driveway at an angle. Wondering if i can get a GT3 up with or without FAL. Between rain gutter, angle of street, and angle of driveway, i dont feel good about it. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.

I think you would be fine at an angle.

You should be able to do it even without FAL.

You have to take it at an angel, If the 993 is dragging it's *** on that driveway GT3 will definitely will scrape the diffuser .

The FAL will do nothing for the rear of the car, however.

Angle for the rear, FAL for the front. Need both

The FAL actually slightly lowers the rear of the car.....

Once you've got the front on the slope though you can lower it to bring the rear very slightly back up. Probably doesn't make much difference but if it's enough to matter it can be dealt with.

+1, especially if you go up at an angle. With FAL, then no issue at all.

Absolutely, you'll be fine. Honestly, you may be able to get away with no FAL at all.

I had to rip apart our driveway and have it re-poured to accommodate my GT3 so it's a topic near and dear to me.

My opinion, make your driveway entry wider (eat into your yard), so that you can take a wider angle on approach.
