Insane is accurate. Be careful. It will trigger you to do things ...

Spring Mountain is a series of connected, multiple race tracks in Pahrump (40 miles outside of Vegas), that has a 2 day program designed specifically for new Corvette owners. All you need is your Vin # and $1000 to have a thorough orientation of your Vette's capabilities coupled w/ 10 or so track sessions in one of their 200 C8s and C8Zs.
Every new owner should go.

Oh. BTW. In admiring your pics. I noticed that you do not have front rock guards. I would purchase those like yesterday to avoid rock chips.

You do have a year after taking delivery to do the RF owner's school at the $1,000 price. They update the availability calendar every couple of weeks. When I went to the Stingray owner's school, I avoided the summer months, for obvious reasons. Went in late September and it was great. good temps for track grip, but not stifling heat. Will be doing the same with my Z06.....

OP, nice job and welcome to the forum.. Cacti is such a unique color for Corvette, and you will have something of an exclusive since that color will be dropped for 2025....

you won't see too many out there like yours (unlike me and my red mist)......

Congratulations......and welcome to the forum!
