My Wife and I attended the new C7 Corvette owners school at Spring Mountain last week. She was there as a guest. All I can say is wow. I have never done anything like this - the driving was a blast - learned so much about driving/handling/braking/etc the C7. I'm even more amazed by this car. And as everyone has said in the forum, the staff and facilities are outstanding. Here is a fun little video I compiled. My Wife is a passenger in the lead Camaro Instructor car.

 

Looks like fun! It's definitely on my list when I get my ride!

 

My wife and I will both attend the new owner school. Spoke to Donna, who said you get one discounted (GM subsidized) class per vin.

You can get a 10% discount on a second class if you're a member of this forum.

 

There were several couples participating - one got the discounted price, the other spouse paid the full class cost - but they both got to drive. If your Wife attends as a guest - get her to ride along with the instructors. My Wife did and she loved it.

 

What a great time that had to be. Hopefully some day I'll attend that driving school.

 

Thanks for posting. I'll be there in Feb.

 

Mines next week on Oct. 5&6

 

Wife is driving. How else will I get a Z06?

 

I was there last week on the 21st 22nd. Awesome class, facilities and instructors. Only problem was on my last session, the A8 trans refused to shift. I was going into and out of most turns in 4th gear instead of 3rd.

 

I am signed up to attend in Feb 2016. Waiting until then as i winter down in Oklahoma and we (gf & I) will drive over to LV and we have fun!

 

I'll be there in Feb 2016. I'm really looking forward to it!

 

Feb '16 for me too. Sounds like we might have a class full of forum folks!

 

DCortez,

I'm picking up my new C7 in November. I mentioned to my wife about the discounted Spring Mountain opportunity for new C7 owners. To my surprise, she asked if she could take the course as well. I didn't realize that there was only one discount per VIN, but the CF discount for the second driver is nice to know. Hopefully we will get out to Vegas after the first of the year and combine driving school with few days on the strip.

Thanks for the info!

 

Sigh. I am green with envy. I did the class last March and it was an incredible experience, but no PDR at the time. My husband was the guest then, but we have a deposit down on a car for him. . .so I get to take the pics next time. Glad to see there is an avid group of "alumni" out there. I got to meet Ron Fellows at Lone Star Le Mans a couple of weeks ago and it was nice to meet the person behind such a great place.

 

I just completed level 2 last week. I highly recommend going back for level 2. If you thought level 1 was a blast, wait until you do level 2. Warning it's addicting.

 

How does level 2 differ?

 

My wife and I are going in March with this deal. Cool!

 

Donna said over the phone that there is a 10% discount for forum members, it's not in the email. Had another conversation with her this morning, New Owner class qualifies you for the Level 2 course.
