Bob Bonduronte(sp?)has a school in Phoenix using a variety of vehicles including vettes ....don't know if he has moved into the C6 yet, but has the C5's and I believe, Z06's in your favourite shade of racing yellow.....

I've been to the Spring Mountain 3 day introduction class and then 18 months later to the 2 day advanced driving class. Both are excellent. Most sessions can be in C5 Z06's and those that are interested take some sessions in the C6 Z51, or in the new paddle shifter. Learning heel/toe is very useful on track but seeing how the new 6sp auto compares is interesting, not as bad as some think. They now have more C6 Z06's but all I got was 3 laps in one while doing the advanced class, more than enough to show me it's far beyond my skill to drive it at any thing close to limits.
   After you do the three day you wonder how much is left but the 2 day class takes things to a whole different level of car control skill and is really fun.

Can you explain what kind of fees Kerbeck adds to the price of a Corvette over the price they give on there web page?

Contact Kerbecks re a car that you may me interested in. I found that their advertised price (which was a very good one) was non-negotiable. When I got to looking at the bottom line their was about $600 in additional "fees" that were going to be added. This included registration for your state which again was not an option and ended up being about 2 1/2 times what I was charged when I bought it from a local dealer in state. Obviously you have to look at the bottom line. (Their price plus their fees versus what you can do locally.)
 
I found most dealers in my area (all small volume) were unwilling to come done any amount from MSRP. But I did find one that was willing to compete with Kerbecks. I actually did better than Kerbecks would do, at the time, since the dealer discounted the 07 $4,000 off MSRP (coupe with LT3 package). Kerbecks was doing $4,000 off MSRP on 06s in May of this year. Additionally, I didn't have any hefty fees added on. I paid what the actual title and registration fees were in my state (NY).
 
Kerbecks does give great deals but again make sure that you get the total price from them.
 
I also liked the fact that I could order mine exactly the way that I wanted it. Most of Kerbecks LT3s also included numerous other options. I added LeMans Blue Metallic paint and polished aluminum wheels. The wheels really set the car off! I highly recommend them or the chrome.
 
Good luck!

Congrats on the new '07 and don't forget to wave. It was also good to hear the rest of the story on the published discounts at Kerbeck. I'm sure they turn out to be a good deal for many but as you found out there are others that will discount and not get you at the back door. Great color choice, I just hope they go back to Electron Blue one of these days.

Their current ad shows $5,800 to $6,200 off on 3LT 2007s in stock.
 
I think if you want what they have in stock, their prices are excellent, even with a couple of hundred dollars in additional fees, compared to most other Chevy dealers.
 
Their reputation is also excellent.
 
If I can negotiate a reasonable deal locally, I will buy locally. I will quote those prices in my negotiations, as even with sales tax impact & a plane ticket added, I'd likely save money buying there...
 
We'll see.

If I only had a couple thousand more dollars in my checking account...
