I just got my VIN # and am waiting with much anticipation..... I was wondering does anyone know how long does it take build the car from start to finish and out the door? I was just guessing maybe 48-72 hrs or so, but I didn't really know about the paint curing..... just a thought.......and I also wondered how many get made in a 24hr period? I guess you can tell I am setting here thinking and dreamin for my new ride.... Congrads on those who have theirs and to those who dont, keep waiting it will come!

I don't know how long it takes per car, but I believe someone
said they build ~600 cars per 10 hour shift.

Thanks for the input guys....... I didn't really know and was just curious. It's a shame that it takes that long to get it.

It takes 24 hours for the factory to build one from start to finish according to a special I saw on the Speed Channel about 10 days ago.
