Camaro Facts..........

CAMARO FACTS

After an 18-hour assembly per car, a new Camaro rolls off the assembly line almost every minute! Go behind the scenes with us and discover what really goes into designing a 2010 Camaro.

There are 734 robots doing the nearly 5,000 spot welds needed to create the body shell for each Camaro Coupe.

The Camaro’s outer body side panel is transformed through the strikes by four die sets, with the initial forming press generating nearly 1,400 tons of force at a speed of seven body sides per minute.

The Oshawa Car Paint Shop is a new, 1.3-million-square-foot facility.

This new paint shop was built in 2007 and is capable of delivering 150 painted vehicles per hour.

In order to get to the paint shop the Camaro body has to be transported on a bridge over a city street where it is painted and then shipped back across the bridge to the trim area for final detailing.

After eight hours in the body shop and five more hours in the paint shop, the Camaro body shell makes its way across a two-level bridge to the general assembly area.

It takes approximately 18 hours to build a Camaro.

One Camaro rolls off the assembly line approximately every minute.

This new paint shop was built in 2007 and is capable of delivering 150 painted vehicles per hour.

The Oshawa GM plant also produces the Impala in the same factory facility. The total plant size is 8.57 million square feet.

It took a $740-million-dollar investment to convert the Oshawa Car plant into a state of the art flexible manufacturing facility, producing the Chevrolet Camaro as its first product.

The Oshawa GM plant first opened in 1953.

Currently there are 3,743 employees in the plant (3,415 hourly pay and 328 salary.)

The Camaro engine is produced at a different plant and has to be shipped approximately 2 hours to the assembly line where it finally meets the Camaro.

It takes 8 months after ordering to receive a brand new 2010 Camaro.

All of the 2010 Camaros produced today have owners.

There were so many inconsistencies in this it ruined it for me. But if you haven't seen it it's still cool to watch.

They talk about the V8 but follow a V6 on the line

You can purchase the video and have it mailed to your house. I did.
I'm keeping it with the rest of my Camaro memorabilia.

Probably watched it 7 times now. lol!

Go the National Geographic website,
click on their store and search Camaro.
It's $19.95 + shipping.

Enjoy your day!

Are the last two bullets true? 8 months is maybe 8 weeks? I am pretty positive some brand new 2010 Camaros can still be found...

That aside, sweet video!!!

No it is no longer true. I ordered mine on Feb. 17th 2010 and took delivery on April 7th 2010.

Yes, you can find a 2010 on a dealer lot. Not many but a few still exist.

That write up was from well over a year ago.

Glad I just switched my cable provider (a week ago) and now get this channel so I can finally watch this show and record it to the DVR and watch a few times.
