Do You Know Everything About Your ZR-1? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

billybaloneey · 09-09-2008

While ordering a set of fault code diagnostic grounding plugs from Gordon Killebrew's company "For Your Car, Inc.". Chris, his wife, asked me if I was interested in any of their C4 training classes. As we talked she told me school attendance for the C4 and ZR-1 classes has been a little slow, and if I was interested in any classes, they would even work around my schedule...I was interested in the advanced C4 & the ZR-1 class for a total of 4 days, back to back. Every time I suggested a date she said I would be the only one there.

Anyone interested in getting a group together to do the Corvette 103 (advanced C4) and Corvette ZR-1, at any date in the future? I'm flexable with enough advanced notice. I think I would get more out of the training with a few more ZR-1 owners asking questions I might not necessarily think of, and sharing experiences/problems with their car.

Any new and/or long time ZR-1 owners interested?

(I'm not doing a pitch or free commercial for "Gordon's School", nor will get a discount or break on the tuition)

I've been wanting to attend Gordon's ZR-1 class but haven't gotten around to it. Depending on when it is, I may be interested in at least the ZR-1 class.

I've done the ZR-1 class ... HIGHLY recommended. If the time is right I would enjoy doing it again simply because I would learn THAT MUCH MORE !!!

Keep me posted.

Is it bragging if I say yes.

Gordon has a lot of info though. Great guy.

cuisinartvette · 09-10-2008

No, and hope I never have to learn. So far, so good.

I'm interested...how much does he want for his class?

I had a one on one training with Gordon and it was awesome. Chris is wonderful and their hospitality was incredible. The only thing missing was my Z and of course I could not ship it from Hawaii (well, I guess I could if money was no object). Fortunately he had a customer's C4 there for us to work on and another customer that paid him a visit during our class. It would have been nice to meet other folks, but there was a plus to being his only student too; can't beat a 1 to 1 ratio of instructor to student.

I'd be interested. Do you know when and how much$$?

For sure my answer to the first Q is emphatically No! To the second Q I would be up for that if we could do it on a weekend; maybe make it a long weekend for me as I would bring my Z to school so we could have something for hands on application of the lecture materials.

Just as a dumb Q: I thought you had to start at the beginning, C4 101, before you could take the ZR-1 & advanced C4 courses?
