Curious as to who are "they?" GM folks I assume or a 3rd party testing group? If they're GM people are these the engineers that designed the cars who take them home to personally test them?

Towards the end of the process they drive pre-production vehicles that may be produced to nearly final specs in the factory but are not assigned a VIN, and other newer cars called "CTF", or captured-test fleet vehicles. These are basically "loaners" for employees to drive and provide critical quality feedback on everything from noise vibration and harshness to interior fit and finish, as well as driving dynamics. CTF cars are nearly indistinguishable from production vehicles and some get sold as used cars. For this reason, they've got little cult following. I'm not certain, but I think this black ZL1 could be CTF. It looks (from what we can see) very finished. While Al and friends are dialing the chassis settings and calibrations in, they could have issued a CTF cars to check on quality simultaneously. |

Also, don't forget that GM's proving grounds are just a few miles north of where the picture was taken.

Very informative well written summation Mr W. You covered all the bases for sure to my question.
The black ZL1 looks like very much like a production unit or as you referred to as a CTF. When do you think this car was assembled? Months ago or just recently? |
