My wife has never driven a sports car and I'm thinking of getting her driving lessons for the C6. Any recomendations? We live in Central Florida.

She can get some decent instruction and familiarity by doing SCCA solo II. That is an inexpensive way to get some instruction and experience. You can check online for a driving school, two that come to mind are, skip barber, & bondurant. They are expensive but good.

Ask her, my bet is that she would enjoy SCCA. www.scca.org

I took a high performance driving course at Bragg-Smith. It was the best money I ever spent. It was 3 days in a Z06. Awesome! Fun and extremely educational.

There is new management but the instructors have stayed (Dave and Victor). www.bragg-smith.com

I'm planning to sign up for them. They have a $150 discount if you mention the add in the Corvette Quarterly.

I too plan on taking their course. Looks like an awesome experience.
