Our podcasting friend and my partner in crime (as he calls me) Steve Garrett has a CORVETTE TODAY Extra making its premiere on Thursday featuring an exclusive conversation with Corvette Executive Chief Engineer Tony Roma and Chevrolet Director of Marketing Amy Masica that was recorded Friday during the National Corvette Museum’s Michelin Bash event.

This is the must-watch episode where members of the Corvette Forum and the Mid-Engine Corvette Forum were able to submit questions and have them read to the Corvette Team for instant feedback. This special episode goes live at 12 midnight and you can download the audio wherever you find your podcasts. As Steve was able to host the show live with Tony and Amy at the NCM, a special YouTube video was also recorded of the entire conversation which will also be made live this tonight on the CORVETTE TODAY Channel.

The conversation was wide-ranging, but one of the tidbits that came perked our ears was about the upcoming 2025 Corvette ZR1. Like its predecessors in the C6 and the C7 years, Chevrolet recognizes that the high performance ZR1 is a “whole-lotta car,” and that drivers would benefit greatly from attending the Corvette Owner’s School to freshen up on their skills or learn some new ones that could come in handy when behind the wheel of a 1,064-hp super car. Of course, from a safely perspective, offering world class driving instruction for a Corvette capable of 233 mph is also a good idea. The best news? It’s included with your purchase of the car!

Here’s what Amy says during the CORVETTE TODAY Podcast:

The Spring Mountain Driving School is something unique that we are able to offer for customers at a discounted rate. As we continue to roll out new models like the ZR1, you get that for free. It’s part of the program, especially when you see how fast the ZR1 can go. So it’s really also important for safety first, for making sure that customers are getting the right experience in understanding their limits, because this vehicle that Tony and the team have engineered is unlike anything that’s out there right now. It’s an opportunity for us to make sure that were doing stuff that others can’t do…don’t do. This community is so fantastic, we just want to keep offering exclusive experiences. Who knows what’s coming up next.”

That’s some pretty cool news that ZR1 buyers will get the ZR1 Corvette Owner’s School as part of their purchase of the car. I was just out there for the E-Ray school and can appreciate her comment about learning YOUR limits which is true no matter which Corvette you’re driving, but especially in a 9-second Corvette ZR1.

It will undoubtedly take some time for Chevrolet and the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School to get a fleet of cars together and work out the curriculum for the ZR1 class. But something tells me it would be worth the wait!

Make sure you listen or watch this special CORVETTE TODAY Extra episode on Thursday featuring Corvette Team members Tony Roma and Amy Masica from the National Corvette Museum Bash event.
