Awesome show. I watched it today with my son who loved it, too. I'd love to see it again. Very exciting to see how it was actually made.

it would be really awesome if you manage to upload the show somewhere!

we don't have national geographic around here and I can't seem to find a download anywhere...
I really would like to watch the show myself!

Thanks in advance and best wishes

I know...made me cringe every time they did that. Nothing against the V6 at all...my point is c'mon guys...get it right. Do your research for crying out loud and get someone that knows the details about the car to watch the freakin' video to make sure everything is accurate before you release it. What else was said in the program that is not accurate I wonder? Geez. I'm sure there was a decent amount of $ spent on filming/editing/producing it. So get it right!

On a milder note, I did rather enjoy the program.

Well, I may not be alone here (or am I?), but I do feel like when compared to otehr UF's, this was a little lacking. Just about every portion was rushed through and not really explained. I know there's too much to show, but like I said, compared to other UF shows, they could have done it. I've seen the Corvette, Porsche and Ferrari UF, and I really enjoyed how they showed how the detail was done. You actually saw someone fitting the leather over the dash, or seat. I remember when they showed how the dash went in first on the camaro. Ok, so who built the dash, what detail went into it. Stuff like that. It just seemed like the other UF's slowed down a bit to really explain what was going on and what care really went into the building of the car.

It's not that I didn't like it, I just feel it was missing that UF spark that the others have.

Those of you familiar with National Geographic's "Ultimate Factories" series will be ecstatic to hear that the Camaro will be featured in its very own installment of the series on October 15th @ 8pm ET on the National Geographic channel. And for those of you not yet familiar, you're in for a treat!

The Ultimate Factories series features segments on the manufacturing process of various industries, such as autos (Corvette, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, fire trucks), military equipment (Apache helicopter, M-1 Tank), and other industries such as IKEA and Caterpillar. The programs not only cover the manufacturing process from beginning to end, but also often features insight into the history and passionate following associated with the products.

The segment on the Camaro began filming at GM's Oshawa Plant beginning late July. And although we've previously been given some looks into the production process of the 2010 Camaro, the program is sure to provide a much more cohesive story and looks into the entire Camaro production process. So, make sure to mark the date and time down on your calendars (or set your DVRs) and tune into what surely will be a fascinating look into the history and birth process of your Camaros!

2) How much different is this generation's assembly process different from the third and fourth generation?
Thanks,

Tony,

1) - Each section is built separately on it's own line and merged on the Underbody line.

2) - I believe the process is different due to design, but the basics are the same.

So I'm a little confused on this "a camaro rolls off the line every minute" statement. Lets so the math, shall we?

60 minutes in a hour. Thats 60 camaros an hour. Lets say the plant isn't producing them 24/7 to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe its open at minimum 12 hours a day, say 5 days a week. 60x12 = 720 camaros a day. At 5 days a week, this is 3,600 camaros a week. Now, 4 weeks in a month (underside of things, once again) leaves us at 14,400 units produced per month. Production went full swing in what, may? May June July August September. My car has a vin# of 47xxx and was built on the week of september 14th. According to their standard, I should have had vin#79xxx. One minute just seems kinda fast

Seeing as they claim 8months to get one, this was most likely filmed before they were even being pumped out. However maybe now thats the fact?
