Ultimate Factory: Building the Chevrolet Corvette Z06
The National Geographic Channel is kicking off their second season of Ultimate Factories on Thursday night with an in-depth look at the manufacture and assembly of Chevrolet's Corvette Z06. The one hour show gives viewers an unprecedented look at not only the processes of production, but focuses on the people behind the scenes that bring our favorite car to life.

The host of the show is Kevin Moore, who gets the awesome responsibility of going beyond the visitor's line and doing the Corvette production jobs we wish we could try once, like assembling by hand the Z06's LS7 engine at the Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan or starting the Corvette for the first time and taking it through the quality control tests.

I don't have cable. I hope Ultimate Factory gets released on DVD.

I see that an earlier series is on DVD on Amazon, so here's hoping this one won't be too long coming.
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!

Without cable, the only hot rod stuff I get to see is on TVS (UHF Channel 31), namely Cruizin' and Classic Restos.
