Re: Z06 question
The Z06 and the base Corvette run simultaneously down the same assembly line and during the personal owner's tour I did not see any robots assembling the cars which havevery few parts in common. There is no distinction between the hand assembly of either car since they follow the exact same path and pass through the same work stations.
The final assembly process is done by hand if you don't count the tools which control torque.
I did not see the actual painting process, but I assume it is done with painting robots, a common procedure to achieve a consistent quality. All painted parts are very carefully examined and matched for color and surface quality, and if a part is damaged its replacement must match, something easier said than done.
