I had a hand in planning such activities, but not actually doing them.

But I can assure you that GM driveline testing is of the very best in the business. It will get a thorough shakedown for road, track and strip and they will throw in a few "pretty crappy pot holes" to boot.

That being said, we did have quite a few posts on axle shaft concerns on the SS. And I can also bet you GM has learned from that to make the Z/28 that much better.
