Homies,
The VAST majority of the assembly in fact occurs at saleen special vehicles in Troy. Basically a naked frame arrives at SSV, and a car minus a motor and seats leaves on a Hazen truck to WFA 2 days later(minus paint time). They deck the motor, put in some of the interior and the vinyl stripes, test NVH, and run it on the dyno at Wixom. I've been through both facilities extensively, and I got to watch my car be built.
This is my car on the day one:
Next day:
AMong, if you want to come, let me know. You are definitely invited. The only reason I've had to quash a free for all is because of requirements some of the facilities have. Wixom is a UAW facility and has pretty stringent requirements, and we're pushing it just bringing 200 total people. That said, I will definitely get you in if you can come. The whole GT team has a massive desire to see that car!
Ward, bring the S7!!!!!! They'll be doing ride and drives in the yellow press car, but it's an N/A car. Not that you can use the TT on Maple, but hey, I need a ride in that thing.
