Doesn't tell you much, but the title seems positive!

I lifted my 4C with a floor jack. I had to roll the tires onto 3/4 inch plywood so I could get the jack under the car. I lifted from the rear/side jack point. I raised it quite a bit and the front wheel lifted off the ground as well. My best guess is that if you did support both rear jack points and then lifted one front corner, the other side will lift as well.
I kind of thought so. Seems those designated front lift points are just picked with no real importance that you lift at exactly there.The front can be lifted from anywhere that is carbon fiber. There is only 1000 pounds on the front axle.
A front center jack point would be nice, but I'm not so sure there's any place to do that.
I've seen that by the race track, the crew lifted one side just like that and put jack stand at the normal lifting points, then repeated at the other side. Owner said they sometimes did both sides at once with two jacks and a guy to keep the car in balance...Crazy question number one:
What would you guess would happen if you put a jack on the carbon fiber tub on the outside and halfway between the front and rear wheels and then lifted the car up so that both wheels on that side were lifted into the air three or 4 inches?
