Default Approach Angle (super V8)

Is anyone able to tell me what the approach angle and departure angle for the super V8 is?

I am thinking of getting one, but i have a pretty steep drive. I can get my Porsche 911 up there. But with the extra long rear on the super V8 im a little worried it will scrape when backing out. Any numbers appreciated. Thanks!

My friend has an extremely steep drive. I always back in reverse on his drive when I visit him. This prevents me from scraping the pipes on the way out.

My 04 x350 is a fraction under 5 meters long if that helps.

Don't know if this helps, but from the base of my rear wheel with about a 20 degree angle to the rear of the car.

Sorry - about 50 inches at the angle to the rear
