Default Spring mtn

Just got back from Spring Mountain corvette owners driving school. What a spectacular event. I highly recommend attendance if you can afford the time and money. You will learn to trust this car beyond belief. This car handles like it stuck on rails, put it into Weather made and you'd be hard pressed to make the car spin out.
From the track time, the auto-x, the panic braking and the wet figure 8 exercises it was fantastic. The instructors were all nice, friendly and knowledgeable.

GO!

I’m looking forward to it. When I got my C7 I didn’t go and now I wish I had gone. God willing, I won’t make that mistake with the C8.
