Read the Q&A at the end, it takes about 24 hours to make one Camaro start to finish.
No it doesn't, sorry. I have been in manufacturing for 32 yrs, and no, it doesn't take 24 hrs, even by hand, it wouldn't take 24 hrs.

Not sure of how they are starting/stopping the clock on takt time or cycle time or whatever the heck they call it there, but they may be including from total inception (raw material arriving) to driving it off the assembly line to transport. Keep in mind that the dealer's service dept has plenty of prep time to get the car "showroom ready" for sale.

Think about it: 24hrs, 3, 8hr shifts of workers per car. Nope.
