National Geographic came to us with the request to do the piece -- and we're grateful that they did.

(there were a lot of inaccuracies -- and had we had a chance to look at it, we would have corrected them...)
I think most of us are aware of what you speak. It's amazing how people
can always find the negative. It was a cool show.

GM had nothing to do with this shows production.

It looks like they followed more than 1 red car. One of them had the 19in rims and one of them had the RS rims. I noticed this when they were driving it near the end. It went from the 19in to the 20's back to the 19in rim.

Very interesting at least.

well -- while we didn't have a say in it -- think about this: to the average person watching the show - they hear "304 horsepower -- and 30mpg" -- that's pretty impressive --

....and while we want to sell to Enthusiasts - -we also have to appeal to a wider audience -- but as I said - I really wish we'd had a chance to review it prior to final production.

But it DOES give you a bigger picture of the complex process of building a car or truck - and remember - the equipment you saw?

....it ain't available at Home Depot or Lowes! That's all (for the most part) custom stuff....

I liked it...and yes most of us fanatics where sitting there groaning at every inaccuracy!

Could've been better yes, but still cool nonetheless to see all that goes into building our cars.

When they said something about Quality Control canceling a car anywhere in the process...I kept thinking "I hope that doesn't happen to mine! I can't wait much longer!"

Yes, it was pretty cool, robots are taking over the world. With all the money they have invested in those machines, they will probably build a ton of Camaros.

Watched the show last night and overall I thought it was really cool. Never mind a few errors in what the moderator was reading, the fact that you are able to see how they build these absolute dream machines is what it is all about. So what if a few errors were made. Think back to the day that you ordered your dream car and had absolutely no idea of how it was built. My hats to the Oshuwa Plant for opening the doors up to the Camaro fanatics on this site. I plan to copy it to a DVD and play it whenever I show my baby in a show.

My wife and I loved it, but we had the same issue with the show.....it was WAY too short, we could have watched for another hour or two easy.
