I was channel surfing tonight and came across a rebroadcast of a cool episode of Ultimate Factories, at the Kentucky factory that builds the Corvette Z06 (the episode I believe originally aired in late 2007 or early 2008).

We all know of the technology, but to see how it was developed and watch how it goes together is amazing. I neveer knew so much of the Z06, especially the engine, is meticulously hand built one at a time.

Here's a link to a you tube preview excerpt. If you're able to get a hold of the complete episode I highly recommend it.
