[QUOTE="gone, post: 301074, member: 5899"] I didn't think to look at the VIN's (sorry) but assumed they were all regular production cars for the school to have/drive them. The instructors mentioned that they'd eventually go to their selling dealership: DC Motors in Anaheim, California, which reinforces my thought that they're all regular production. I was told a Ron Fellows member has a connection to that dealership; hence why they sell them to Anaheim. Ron Fellows usually sells their vehicles with less than 10,000 miles on them. The instructor I talked to about this, said he'd have no qualms buying one, in spite of its track use. Ron Fellows gives them the "once over" before letting them go; replacing fluids and making sure the brakes and tires are all AOK. He also said the cars are made to "take it" with the launches that are part of the course on the second day, which is why GM warranties the cars with launch control. I don't know if they maintain their warranty once sold by Ron Fellows, but even if they did, I'm not so sure I'd be keen to buy one, given their ++++ track use. A few other "tidbits" that I learned at the school: for spousal ride-alongs which happen once/day (so 2 in total), your spouse can ride both times, if desired. As well and more importantly for some of us, the instructor/driver for the ride-along will "tone down" the ride and drive slower, upon request. Last year my spouse refused to go on a ride-along but perhaps she may have, had she known it could have been done slower. For any of you that have taken the COS, you get an instructor ride-along at the end of the first day and it's a ++++ wild ride. Something to think about if you're attending the COS with your spouse.
