Default Ron Fellows and Spring Mountain classmate

Hey vette owners I aggree with hampshire76 because we were classmates at the school. If you think you know vettes and how to drive, until you go to this school you dont know diddly. This is a first class school, the track is in like new condition and the entire place is like being at a 5 star country club, except for corvette owners. Once you finish this class you'll understand just how fine a ZR1 really is. The best part is they let us drive their ZR1's like we stole them, Not once did they ask us to take it easy on the cars.

It's not just for ZR1 owners, They also have many coupes and Z06's and this way you can drive them all without having to buy one......Unless you wreck it........It's a great deal

As i said on another post, the school and the instructors and instruction were the best. But the best part was getting to drive a ZR1 like I have never been able to drive mine on the streets. It gave me a whole new appreciation for this car-it was unbelieveable. Sunday we are going to the dragstrip, and i will be a lot more confident that i really know this car better. It was very interesting how different the clutches were between the two ZR1's and the ZO6.

I drove 4 different ZR1's and 4 different Z06's, The clutches did feel different, The power of each was close, to me the biggest difference was the ride and handling of the ZR1's which was probably because the ZR'1 had Magnetic ride Suspension. My car is a ZR1 with 3zr package, If I were to buy the Z06 I would opt for a magetic ride suspension. Spring Mountain was as much fun as the day I bought my car. Everyone should try it

I bought that one new about 11 years ago, got 7K on it! It is like driving around a parade float! Kind of sticks out in a crowd with those yellow wheels!!!!

I think that one is the biggest eye catcher of any Corvette Ever built. Have fun with it.
