Default Spring Mountain Again!

I went for the first time in 2012 for my ZR1 training. I had a blast but never did get the hang of the heel and toe move. I just got back last week from my C7 Z06 training and it was even more incredible. I finally learned and got a good demonstration of how to use the DIC, PDR, and other car settings. What made the track experience even more memorable was with the 'rev match' feature eliminating the heel/toe need altogether. The driving staff were all phenominal! Rick, Rico, Richie, Paul, Ken, and the rest of the crew were so professional and friendly. You new C7 owners should definitely take advantage of this susidized program. The rest of you just treat yourself to the best time you could have ever imagined!

It's included with every new C7 purchase. You have to go within a year of purchase to get the discount.

They give you what you own.

If you own a Stingray, you get a Stingray, if you Have a Z06, you get a Z06, if you have an A8, you get an A8.

I will not race this car, but hourly enjoy the amazing performance available within these cars.

I was under the impression that they were not doing this for 2016 Z06's??

C&P from the SM site: *Only first retail purchasers of new and unused 2014, 2015 model year Stingray and Z06 Corvettes are eligible. Chevrolet pays for 60% of eligible Stingray owners 2-day tuition and 74% of eligible Z06 owners 2-day tuition. Only 2015 Z06 owners are eligible for Z06 program.

Hi!
make sure you tell your sales associate the transmission you would like to drive. if you don't request an automatic, you will get a c7 stingray manual...we've had a few folks who own an a8, but prefer to track the m7, and vice versa. we can accommodate most requests, but you have to do it before you get here, ideally!

Would I still be able to drive a Z06 in the level 2 phase?

I have a 2016 and got the 2 days Z06 for $1,000.
GM also sent me the yellow "welcome to the team" box last month (car was purchased September) which includes the VIN and invitation to make use of the program.

All that was needed was to give the VIN over the phone and all was set.

it is possible, but call us here at the track for details on pricing, as it is different for that program...you also must qualify for a level 2. if you've done our program in the past, or taken something similar, you should qualify...
ask to speak to a sales associate,
cheers!
