New Z06 next build next week?
Hey guys,
We took a tour of the plant today and saw some interesting things. We were told by the guide that the plant will be building the "Z06" there and that the plant would be shut down to tours next week. We went just a little further in the tour where the body and chassis marry, and a forklift went by us with a massive torque tube and other associated part in a plastic *******. One of the guys that went with us nudged me and said read the paper on the side. The paper on the side said "Z06 power-train components". When we were at the end of the line where the cars leave the assembly line, and in the back about 75 feet from us were 2 cars under heavy white car covers, but no other cars in the entire plant were covered at all. Am I to assume that maybe these were the test beds for the Z06 that are being hidden until next weeks build? Has anyone else been in recently and seen anything like this??

You very well could be right. The Z06 is supposed to premier at the Detroit Auto Show in early January, so they have to be doing something.
