Factory Testing
I just ordered a GS 6spd Coupe and was interested as to what kind of engine, suspension, brake, and electronic tests the factory does?
Just curious..thanks.

Afterward, the cars go into what's called the dynamic vehicle test, where automated systems run them through about 800 different diagnostics, looking to ensure that every single new Corvette is ready to be shipped to its owner.

Did the museum pick up / factory tour last Thursday. There were numerous tests done on our vehicles. Very interesting and seemed very in depth as well. I remember as the vehicles rolled off of the line there was a front end check/allignment, Speed check test up to 80 on the dyno. Then every so often vehicles were put on an outside rumble test, water seal test, and a sound / electronic test. I am sure there was more but those were the ones that I remember.
