Somewhere between "barely adequate" and "not nearly enough", depending on
instantaneous local conditions.

Explain again -- you want a measurement to the frame rail? But the exhaust
hangs quite a bit below the frame rail. Clearance to the frame, of course,
is dependent on wheels and tires fitted, spring health, vehicle & passenger
weight, and so on, so I don't know that measuring my roadster will help you.
