This Saturday at 10pm for those of you who get that channel.

Follows the entire creation of a Z06 and is pretty informative.

It is preceded by one on the Ferrari factory at 8pm (which does make Bowling Green look very antiquated!) and one on the BMW Z4 plant at 9pm which I haven't seen.

Great - thanks for that
I've seen the first series (with the Ferrari and Tank factories) and didn't know there was a new series out

It was shown in America last November and at the time, I was told there were "no plans to run it in Europe".
Glad they changed their minds! yes

Will look forward to that one - thanks for the info'. Haven't seen the factory since making a tour just as C6 production was starting up a few years back. Highly recommended for any visitors to that part of USA; nearest tourist destination, Nashville music

Wonder if we'll catch a glimpse of that rarest of creatures, a Cadillac XLR?

I saw it in the States over Christmas.

It really follows the making of a Z06 specifically with interesting stuff about the ali spaceframe and the LS7 engine.

The Ferrari one is definitely worth watching at 8pm too.

They say it is about the making of a 599, but half the shots are of the F430 and even the Maserati coupe... rolleyes

Saw a few of those at Zolder last year - they look very alien in Europe..
