CGT, GT2, GT3, Turbo ground clearance and street driving
According to this thread:

The ground clearance is 86 mm.
86/10/2.54 = 3.4 inches
From what I saw of the CGT delivery, 3.4 inches of fixed clearance is much too low for a car that is meant to be driven on the street. If the front spoiler is easily damaged and costs $450 to replace, will the flat carbon underbody chassis panel also be easily damaged by road debris such as separated truck tire treads, road construction steel plates, potholes, etc. and can it also be easily replaced if it breaks? What is the price of this panel? Is it panel one-piece or multi-piece?
And if the suspenion cannot be raised for better ground clearance, how does one use this car on Ohio, Michigan, New York and other non-Californian and non-German city, highway, and back roads which range from smooth to broken? Street driving is unpredicable so does one just keep replacing the parts on the CGT as and when they get damaged? Will those parts be readily available when ordered from a dealer? Or is one forced to drive ridiculously slow in order to minimize damage?
Do GT2, GT3, and Turbo owners suffer clearance problems during street driving aside from entering and exiting driveway curbs? What is the U.S. and ROW ground clearances for each of the three previously mentioned cars?
I know the F50 and Enzo can raise up at the push of a button when entering a driveway. And these cars will automatically lower themselves back down once they reach a certain speed. I believe the CGT should have had this feature, don't you think?
