Default GM Video: Building the C5 Corvette

First off, I'm sorry if this is old news.

Just tooling around on youtube and found this video which I've never seen before. Very cool backstage pass on the design/build process!

I saw that a few years ago and it is always fun to watch. I wish they put out a promo like that for the C6 and C7, but oh well.

Thank you tcrote5516 for sharing the video. Together with reading the book All Corvettes Are Red by James Schefter, it gives helps me better understanding of the 2004 vert I bought 4 months ago.
