The public tours are cool but the private ones are priceless. Much more in depth explanations, up close and personal, you can go places the other tours won't take you, you get to start one of the cars and get a certificate and build sheet from that car, and you get to run the car through the dyno. Some of us have even gotten lucky enough to take the car out onto the track as each and every Vette is put through the paces on the track. As it was put to me after seeing this, the tour guide said they would rather have the car break while in their care then when the new owner has it. Unreal.
