Spring Mountain package
How long did it take for your package to arrive after you took delivery? I picked up my car 21 October and have not received the yellow box yet. Thanks.

I never got a package. I called Spring Mountain with two weeks of taking Delivery and they asked me if I had received a package. Once they checked my VIN I was able to schedule a trip for two months later. I did get the other stuff that GM sent out but there was no Spring Mountain package.

We have not received our package yet either. However, we just booked the trip with Melinda today and both of us, my wife and I, are taking the course! We are really looking forward to it!

Nothing to do with the post, but that F type looks amazing! How do you like it compared to your vette? I was looking at a F type SVR but decided to go with the Z06. Picked up my Arctic White 3LZ 17' Z06 (Z07) a couple weeks ago and its amazing. No Jaguar dealers near me so I never got to check one out or even test drive one, but I don't think ill regret getting the Z06 over the F type SVR, although the SVR and R are really great cars. I was always leaning towards the Vette, but really liked the Jaguar F type! Maybe ill be able to check one out or test drive one in the future
). The 550hp and AWD give it the performance and the interior gives it the luxury and performance. Great for long road trips or short blasts to work. I could burn a whole tank of gas just running it up to 60 and back down again several times. The exhaust note with the valves open is intoxicating. No need for an aftermarket exhaust. In dynamic mode it tightens up the suspension and steering and handles like a cat on carpet.
I went with a Z06 coupe because I have two convertibles already. I haven't had a Vette coupe since the C3.

A common problem with the Z06, there are multiple threads about it and some actually have very useful threads about how to deal with it. Both the Cup 2s and the Michelin pilot super sports have the issue. I am waiting to see what the new Continental UHP street tires they are premiering in January have to offer. I am not a runflat fan and that appears to be part of the issue along with camber and caster.

Okay, I go my Z06 a couple of weeks ago and basically the salesman told me jacksh#t about anything. I knew about Spring Mountain and am enrolled for mid March but what is in the yellow box?? Hope it isn't alcohol-been sober for 30 years and a new Corvette won't change that situation

Infamous Yellow Box
Just FYI, you do not need the box to sign up for Spring Mountain, just call them with you VIN and CC and the date you want. I recommend the sooner the better in order to get the date you want and the track you want to drive on. They filled up really fast last year. Outstanding instructors and an awesome facility and tracks.....money well spent.
