Scott mentioned it would take a little over 4 days... is that like 4 8 hour shifts? or is the plant running longer than 8 hours.

Wow, beat my to it.

Great minds think alike I guess

If you work there, can you confirm start day was last Thur?

80Zedder · 03-15-2009, 08:37 PM

He was probably referring to current production speed right now. Once up and running at full line speed is what I am referring too. And I can't confirm nor deny anything.

We need some official word if it started thursday or not.

At the Atlanta show the gm rep said that the lt was #21 vin off the line and the ss was not for resale and probably be destroyed later on. He also told us that they started building them a few weeks ago.

Thats what Scott told me on Friday, so I will believe him

Plus read post 17 in this thread. He doesn't say Thursday the 12th exactly, but I assume they work on Sundays so Thurs. sounds about right
