I bought a used 2018 Z06. Is the Ron Fellows school at Spring Mountain free to new owners and $1000 to C7 corvette owners or is it $1000 to new owners and $2500 for everybody else. I guess I could just call.

You only get the discount if you bought the Vette new, you'll have to pay full price for the class but it's still worth it in my opinion. Since you are paying for it anyway, may want to ask about adding the third day option vs coming back again for the 3-day class. Not sure if they still do that but worth the ask. You will have a blast!

^^^ Thx. Saw that, I’m looking to do another school this summer and considered this an option. Just pricing things out for now.

One other tip I found out by accident when I went is they give you free condo rental if you go in August, or they did when I went. It's hotter than hades but you aren't outside much and that saves you a few hundred dollars on a bed to sleep in for a couple nights. It's in the middle of nowhere so not really another decent option. Plus, they feed you breakfast and lunch. If you drive an A8 you may not want to go that time of year because the auto Z's will overheat once you guys start driving hard towards the end of the second day though. Decisions, decisions...

Yeah, the discount was a nice perk for the buyer of a new car. As mentioned, even if you have to pay the full price, you will have a great time and learn a ton about a C7.

OP, reach out to them direct and they may give you the discounted or a discounted price but i can tell you this.. even at full price you will leave there without a penny of regret.... i assure you it will make you appreciate this car on a level above what you know or think now. such a great learning experience and fun!

Hoping you all get to go. That’s the most I’ve ever learned (and enjoyed) in 2 days.

My car was from MM and was a courtesy delivery.
The owners manual is all I got and a plastic bag with the floor mats and Z51 brake ducts. The rock guards were in another plastic bag.
They kept the stock engine cover, because I got a red one added on. (I didn't know that I should have asked for that black/silver cover).
In the owners manual, I didn't have any coupon or anything for Ron Fellows school. I knew about it though and called to make my reservation. All they needed was my VIN to get me setup.
The one nice thing the PDI dealer did was they laminated the window sticker.

I think I must have been reading another thread and it scrolled into a related thread.
I need to find where to turn that feature off, annoys the hell out of me.
