Default Spring Mountain

Just got back from the school the other day. I will tell you that this course is worth the money. Pretty. Intense training for 2 days classroom n driving. They go thru everything on the car and teach/show u how the car should b driven. GM picks up 1500 and it will cost u 1000 more. Food room inc. the highlight for the 2 days for me was when the instructor takes u out and takes a couple of hot laps. What a thrill if you've never done anything like that. This generation zo6 is a monster car and I've had 10 of them....best of the best!

Definitely worth the trip for any C7/Z06 owner. The deal GM gives you is fantastic. Plus Vegas isn't all that far away!

Just got back from 2-day course - AWESOME!

For all those doing upgrades, etc. to the car - do yourself a favor and the first upgrade should be YOURSELF! Take the 2-day course and really learn things about the car you may not know!

They can teach old dogs new tricks!
