Big time! Don't know too many folks who have passed a P.V. the first time...

Every other flight award = one free trip first class to europe
every bloomington award adds $1.25 to the value
every 1st place trophy won = $5.00
2nds = $3.00
3rds = $1.00
add it all up & whalla ............there ya go
just kidding............congrats those are all awards to be proud of, dont worry about the $$$$$ value !!!

I bet most cars could't pass a PV at time of dealer delivery.

Performance Verification is not a points system, it is a pass/fail situation. Best to do a dry run, maiden voyage, etc, before signing up. Very prestigious award, things like the clock better have the hesitation of the second sweep and not quartz changeover. Washers better squirt in a particular designated portion of the windshield each time. Lighter better hold its orange glow long enough to easily light a cigarette. Radio better not have too much static or signal interference from engine revving thru the gears to redline. Most find this a nerve racking event, however I think it is the most complete assessment award NCRS has given to the Corvette.
