This link shows a video of the ZR1's engine being built. Check out the tool that comes down to tighten the head bolts all at once.

... i don't think the engine is "Hand Made" lol hand made means they stitch the leather to the seats by hand dude.

The Ferrari factory is actually really cool. I saw a show about it on TV a while ago and they really do go to every extra step when building a car.

Im sure you can find some videos on youtube..

Yeah, I think I saw that on "How do they do it" it was pretty cool.

You should see the NASCAR engine building dragracing. Two teams race to build a v8. If i remember right some teams were under 20min to build the whole motor and fire it up. Very impressive.

What do you mean there motors are "Hand built" EVERY corvette motor is hand built as much as it gets.

I would love to get my hands on one of those vettes for a track day. Last month my dad and I had our cars at a local road course for a laping day. I have an 02 mustang GT, he has an 07 corvette coupe. I took the vette for a few laps and can say with out a doubt they are one incredible car. And his is just a coupe not a Z06 and def not a ZR1. But none the less it was a blast to let her go and really drive the crap out of it.
