I want to share my experience with the
C7 Corvette Stingray...
at...
Spring Mountain Motor Resort / Country Club........

This was an ....Experience ......
that can only be described as....
AWESOME!

I had the opportunity to ...
-Learn
-Understand
-Test
&
-DRIVE....

...........
FAST!!!!.....


The Sting Ray---introduced on a production car was 1963....
which marked both the introduction of the all new second generation Corvette,
as well as the first time Corvette was offered as a coupe.

Pop Quiz:
In what year ...
Did Chevrolet produce a Corvette race car which was the original Sting Ray?



.....
I flew into Las Vegas...for the SEMA Show...

This was going to be ....
an...

Intense 2 day Event!!!

I track my Camaro ZL1...,
(...so I had a little advantage....)

But the Corvette Stingray ........
..is completely different!
It is ...very agile,..... fast thru the corners... in & off....

.......Through all the programmable driving modes....


It is VERY PRECISE!!

The instruction on the track...
.....Was spot ON!...

We followed an Professional / Instructor...
and if we could keep pace....
.....They would increase speed...
AWESOME Experience!!!

As we were told...
"It's not...
Your Gas....Tires....
Have FUN!!!!"


I sure Did!!!
:faint:


Then back to the classroom for more info and knowledge....

The frame, suspension, brakes, aerodynamics, tires, technology.....

The 2014 Corvette is unbelievable!!!!
...WoW!!!!!!


After an exhilarating 1st Day, it was time to relax is in the
Motor Sport Condos.....

and wake up to...

Day 2.....

More....... on........


......Track Racing!!!!


After experiencing the 2014 Corvette Stingray...
I can suggest...
1.) Learn the Corvette
2.) Experience your Corvette
3.) Never Drive beyond your limits
4.) The First Modification to consider,....
....... Is driver skill improvement...!!!


Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch is a Great Venue...
To truly learn the capabilities of this world class Corvette Stingray!

Your dealer can help arrange your opportunity...
or contact me....I would be Very Pleased to help!!!


An Artic White Corvette Stingray...

Awesome! Were there any non-Z51 cars that were driven at your event?

2nd time a thrill 11-17-2013 06:52 PM

Hi, becky

All I can say is wow.

Overflow 11-18-2013 07:44 AM

Thank you for sharing this with us, Becky!

TheCaptain 11-18-2013 08:58 AM

Thanks for sharing Becky! I went to Spring Mountain and raced the C6's a couple years ago and it was the best part of my life so far! I can't wait to do it again with C7's!

From my phone calls with SM, they won't get C7's for public use until March, which seems so long away!

Congratulations Becky!!! I got to spend a few hours in a C7 at the Precision Drive in South Florida. The four hours here were but a mere taste compared to what you received. I am glad you were selected to go. Spring Mountain is definitely a bucket list item for me.

Precisely. Game on Steve! Spring Mtn sounds good, I'd like to relive the Precision event but in a real deal setting like this.

Becky, that is an experience you will never forget!

Wheat 03-25-2014 10:30 AM

Becky, Must have been fun on the track, I'm about 13 hours from there and hope to make it in our new ride one day. Any new info on RQNDCJ OR. Thanks Wheat
