i got a "behind the scenes" tour of the bowling green plant in march when we picked up my dads z06, it wasnt like the normal tours that you get, we got to go around the whole plant with a personal tour guide. it was cool, i think the only way you can do that though is if you take corvette delivery option

Year ours was the private tour as well. Dad didnt take the delivery option on his 08 C6 but they still gave us the private tour becasue he just bought one a month ago.

It doesn't mean it would take an hour. That just means there is a minute between each car. the first car on the line could have taken 4 hours but every one started 1 minute after so that after that 4 hour initial they pump out 60 or so an hour.
