It is well known that the VIN isn't an absolute as with the SO number.
I was simply trying to illustrate that there was no reference to car line in the VIN as the original poster was eluding to.

However you look at the reality of these number they generally are close to the sequence, not months different, probably not even hundred units.

The pilot builds are usually not sold to the public... They are sent to the different engineering groups for testing to make sure that all of their parts/components are working properly... Some are sent to the proving grounds to be driven and put miles on them to see how well they hold up....

Pilot builds are usually about 30 or so cars give or take... Depending on the need of each engineering group and how many will go to the proving grounds...
