National Geographic "Ultimate Factories" The Z06

I realize this has been around for awhile, but does anyone know where I can purchase the hour-long National Geographic "Ultimate Factories" The Z06 shown on Nov. 29, 2007 (DVD or VHS)?

Re: National Geographic "Ultimate Factories" The Z06

Since your a fellow Victory Red owner, and such a nice guy, here's a link to exactly what you are looking for, plus another even better video on the LS7 (note the engine dyno readouts for SAE TQ and HP peaking at 486.5 ft-lbs and 510 bhp respectively . . .

http://vettetube.com/view_video.php?...4b472968cb70f0

http://vettetube.com/view_video.php?...b2dc1b0a17836a

And how about one more on what's under the hood for good measure . . .

Re: National Geographic "Ultimate Factories" The Z06

The GM Performance Parts video on the LS7 is particular interesting where it shows an engine revving up at WOT on the dyno. This is NOT a chassis dyno test like we so often see outside of GM's control, and have to wonder what is the actual power produced at the flywheel to SAE (net) standards. This video show the REAL DEAL; an "engine" dyno test, fully instrumented to SAE test standard. I stepped through the video frame by frame during the dyno test segment and was able to capture the HP and TQ peaks. I was pleasantly surprised that "some" LS7s are underrated in power output.
