Since its introduction in 2009, customers who have purchased a Corvette ZR1 have been given special bonuses, which include a two-day, tuition paid, ZR1 Driving Class.

Lucky them, right?

Well until now… Chevrolet has since expanded this incentive to all customers who purchase any new 2010 or 2011 Corvette model from January 4 to February 28. Be it a coupe, convertible, Grand Sport or Z06 – you’re the lucky winner too now!

The two-day ZR1 Driving Class is optional at two locations:

1. Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving (near Phoenix, AZ)
2. Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain (outside Las Vegas, NV)

Eligible customers may take advantage of this opportunity within one-year of their vehicle’s delivery date. Nice little perk to think about when it comes time to purchasing your hot rod of choice!  You can shop from anywhere in the country and use CorvetteBlog.

Take a look at our complete Corvette Inventory – no reasonable offer is refused.  Period.  Give us a call for more details at (888) 875-0728.
