Just a trick my grandpa taught me hold the brakes give it just a bit of throttle and hold the throttle still and use the brake pedal to allow it to move forward by giving it more or less brake to control it. It will stop the lunging and rolling back when trying to move slow up a ramp

Nice video. Anyone knows if these will work on a MK5 Supra? Which race ramp model is this one?

I have race ramps as well for my Scat narrow body with the 275's and the work perfectly. Though like you, they aren't easy to drive up onto because of the length. I'm constantly getting in and out of the car to make sure I'm going straight up them.

Hey Steve. I always have someone up there watching. I like them. But, they sure are expensive.

Your rubber/plastic air dams in front of the tires were still dragging. That is the problem I have on my car (not as low as yours), using Rhino ramps and lead-in 2x12 boards. The front cleared by using the 2x12, but not that plastic piece. Was ok on the way up, but caught on the way down. With the longer length of those Race Ramps, it is more difficult to line them up. I would use a tape measure to set the center-center spacing the same as the front tires.

I have a 2020 Charger Scat Widebody and i love my 67"XT one piece 14" wide Race Ramps!!! Best ramps out there.. So easy to get my Widebody up and down. Low profile so no worry about scraping at all. I paid $295 brand new in the box. Worth every penny if you work on your own car.

Not sure the width on your tired but Once of the big issues I had with 305s was getting a ramp that the tire didn't hang over. Raceramps is one of the few that make a ram wide enough for wider tires. They are pricy though.

Do you think you get all the oil out because the car is angled up in the front? Perfect if the drain plug is at the rear.

I was a nervous wreck when u we’re going up but a great buy to do your own oil changes. I like the idea of also going to dealerships at times so they can top off everything and just check. But u will definitely save some good money- especially at every 3500 miles u change yours! 👏👍👊

Do your own oil changes and under car checks, don't let anyone do them for you. I know someone who last week had there oil changed at a reputable place and they forgot to tighten the oil plug now his car needs a new engine. Fortunately they had cameras in the shop and were able to confirm the incident and are covering all the cost.

In reading your comment, I did a foolish thing like blowing my engine to my Pontiac Trans Am/ Firebird ( I forgot exactly) that my Dad painted black and had eagle on it and I didn’t change oil and ruined engine. My poor dad... what a fool I was in HS! The only adult scary incident for me was when my donut was replaced with a new tire, it was not until a few years later that I had a flat and when I went to get the spare, it was not there! They never put it back! I had to wait for road side assistance and had to buy me a spare. So angry!
