Default Advanced Driving SChool

Just did 3 days at the Spring Mountain Driving School in Nevada.
It was awesome! Track time in a Z06 and a C6t coupe!
I am a C5 coupe owner and I now have a whole new respect for the Z06! If you get a chance, I advise you to take course and really get to know your Vettes! I can now do power circles!

I could not agree with you more!

I had 3 C5's, then found a Black on Black 03 Z in Austin a few months ago with only 2800 miles on it @ Corvette Palace.

Every aspect of the car is better, and I encourage anyone to get one, especially with the great prices that are out there.

Thanks,

MV

CJ did a similar deal last month, said the cost was 350 i think

the best part = 'driver instructor training' is covered under insurance plans (or something like that)

so its a free spin!

$350.00???? I don't think so. Try around $2400.00 for the 3 day.

Yes. The cost is around $2,400.
Follow that link on top.

BUT... I am going back to that track in Feb. for a two day track day for only $250 (if you bring your own Vette).
