Default 997.2 GT3RS approach angle

Pouring a new driveway tomorrow and need to know approach angles for the 997.2 RS. I've found 997.1 numbers but so far no luck digging up anything for 997.2.

I have the Front Axle Lift so would really like to know the angle with and without the lift activated.

Thanks.

You can measure it easily if the car is nearby. Take the ground clearance of the front lip at the centerline of the car and measure the distance back to the centerline of the front axle. You can do this for both standard and lifted heights. That's your rise/run so take the inverse tangent to get your angle.

But...you don't really have to design to that extreme. If you approach your driveway at an angle, your maximum approach angle doubles (my guess).
