If you're still fascinated by all the work that went into creating and building the C7 Corvette, we've got a video for you.

That is so cool... I love driving cars, but the process of building them is fascinating... smart people building cars for us dumb folks.

Let's see how long it takes the haters and trolls to turn this into a negative thread. I could name them but everybody knows who they are anyway.

In the meantime I'll take my 2016 shark grey Z06 out for a spin. You know, the one with the bad paint, the bad A8, the bad engine that overheats with overall poor build quality that starts up with a roar every time, goes 190mph, zero to sixty in 3 seconds and turns heads everywhere I go.

I took the plant tour this past August 6th and it was definitely amazing how these cars are built. All the right parts for the right options all coming together at the right time/point on the assembly line was just amazing to me; the right interiors, the right wheel options, etc. etc., all meeting up at the right time!! How DO they do that???

i took the tour in August as well and was impressed at the Quality Control.
Problems with my 2015 Stingray have been minimal.

Visited the plant and the Museum in one day. Then in August I toured the engine plant in Tonawanda, N.Y. Equally impressive. I believe there's a video of the engine plant similar to the one in this post showing the assemble plant.

If you want to see a newer and more high tech plant visit the Kia plant in GA or the VW plant in TN. The C7 plant is in need of modernizing especially the painting process. Should be complete next year.
