"Performance and reliability are the key in racing," said Greg Gyllstrom, vice
president and general manager of Visteon North American and Asian Aftermarket
Operations.  "The fact that nearly 100 percent of the NASCAR teams rely on
Visteon radiators for every race says a great deal about our commitment to
performance and reliability through design, technology and technical
advancement."

Visteon's radiator racing cores include a high-efficiency design requiring less
airflow to transfer the same amount of heat as a standard radiator.  The design
uses dimpled tubes to increase the swirling action of the coolant, resulting in
a faster, more efficient transfer of heat.  In addition, Visteon has added
louvers to the fin surface, increasing the ability to transfer heat away from
the engine.

Consumers of new vehicles expect performance and reliability under the hood as
well.  Visteon applies their leading underhood parts technology for
professional installers and do-it-yourselfers through their aftermarket product
offerings.  This same leading edge underhood technology is delivered to
automakers to meet the consumer performance expectations of new car and truck
owners.  Visteon's technical expertise extends to other aftermarket parts
including glass and officially licensed NASCAR Performance Windshields,
GlideMaster products, and mobile electronics.

Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket.  Visteon
has approximately 72,000 employees and a global delivery system of more than
200 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities located in 25
countries.
