Story by Dubspeed Driven Associate Editor, Carl Modesette
Recently we at Dubspeed Media had the opportunity to visit the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea, Michigan to sample the entire Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep lineup. For your author, this was a special treat as my professional background is in vehicle testing. While it was an incredible opportunity to drive SRT-8 vehicles on CPG’s own test tracks and navigate Trail-Rated Jeeps through the CPG off-road course, what I really wanted to do was learn more about what happens at the CPG when hoards of media aren’t crawling all over it. Thanks to the accommodating staff of Daimler-Chrysler’s Communications Team, we were able to speak to the man in charge of CPG, Jeff Zyburt, Director of the CPG, and Lab Durability Testing. In the interview, we were able to gain a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes at this highly-secretive test facility.
Read the complete interview after the jump!
