Milford Proving Ground
More CTS-V Video
In this clip, CTS-V Lead Development Engineer Chris Berube talks about the 24-hour testing he and his team performed on the “V” at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford, MI. As Chris points out, the 24-hour test provides a final probe testing of the car before it goes into production under high-stress conditions. – Will Stewart, blog editor

Dyno-saurs

Pretty regularly, we can test cars without even going outdoors. Our Milford facility has several test laboratories in which we do simulations. The other day I snapped this shot of a new CTS during a Dynamometer test in our lab.
Track-ing Us Down
By Liz
I’m asked a lot about our track tests — what we do and where we do them.
The nice thing about track testing, of course, is that you can safely take the car much closer to its limits. It’s not about speed, really. It’s about the fact that on a good road course, many aspects of the car are simply put to the test in more-challenging and detailed ways in a shorter period of time. Acceleration, shifting, steering, braking, chassis control, and the entire “feel” of the car are all pushed and evaluated simultaneously under extreme conditions.
