Missed the Vette but saw most of the Ferrari. Small wonder those 599s cost around $300K

I've saw it before but got it on DVR. I've showed it to a few friends and they were amazed by it.

2 cruise-ins ago we had the chance to tour the plant that makes those Z06 frames, just after the film crew had been there to tape this. We had a great time there, and were very impressed with their operation. I think the employees were thrilled to have so many vettes in their parking lot.
