Corvette Z06 featured on “Ultimate Factories” series
Posted by Rob No Comments »
The Corvette Z06 will be featured on the National Geographic Channel on November 29th. The show will air at 10:00 pm this Thursday.
More than 50,000 people a year visit the Bowling Green facility to see Corvettes being built, but “the “Ultimate Factories” crew was able to capture a lot of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making this great vehicle,” said plant manager Wil Cooksey Jr.
Building the Z06 requires attention to detail. For example, each 505-horsepower, LS7 V-8 engine is hand built and autographed by the worker who assembled it.
The 2008 Corvette Z06 has a starting price of $71,000. Estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg city and 24 highway.
