I drive my cougar around with about 3" of clearance for the front air dam when the car is sitting on level pavement.... i also work in Dearborn Michigan, home of some of North American's worst roads.... Now i do scrape ocasional but not that often... mind you when i first started doing this i scraped quite a bit... you get used to it, you figure out that you must take all driveways on an angle, avoid pot holes, and speed bumps unless you know they aren't tall/deep enough... i also rode around for 3+ weeks with less than 2" clearance and no major problems so like i said it takes some getting used to but it's very possible.
