GM PERFORMANCE PARTS EXTENDS WARREN JOHNSON SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT

    INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6, 2002 - One of the longest running sponsorships
in NHRA drag racing will continue for three more years with the
announcement today at the Performance Racing Industry trade show that GM
Performance Parts has extended its sponsorship of Pro Stock racer Warren
Johnson. Johnson, a six-time NHRA champion and the most successful Pro
Stock driver in drag racing history, will carry GM Performance Parts as the
primary sponsor of his Pontiac SC/T Grand Am through at least 2005.

    "The 2003 season will mark the 18th consecutive year that GM Service
and Parts Operations has supported Warren Johnson's championship-winning
team," said Robert Triulzi, General Director, GM Accessories - GM Service
and Parts Operations. "Warren began his long-term association with our
organization in 1986 with sponsorship from the GM Performance Parts brand,
and we are proud to continue this enduring relationship far into the
future.

    "This agreement between GM Performance Parts and Warren
Johnson Enterprises exemplifies the teamwork and commitment that are
essential for success in both motorsports and business," Triulzi added.

    Johnson, 59, of Buford, Ga., has driven GM products exclusively
throughout his 27-year professional career. He introduced GM Performance
Parts - then known as "Goodwrench Performance Parts" - to NHRA drag racing
in 1986.

    "GM Performance Parts has played an essential role in the success of
my racing business," said Johnson. "The technical and financial resources
that GM Performance Parts brings to our program enable us to compete
successfully in the most competitive category in motorsports. In turn, the
parts that we develop in Pro Stock become available to racers and
performance enthusiasts through GM Performance Parts authorized dealers."

    Johnson was instrumental in the design and development of
GM's purpose-built Drag Race Competition Engine (DRCE), which has become
the cornerstone of GM's Pro Stock engine program. Johnson is now working
with GM Racing engineers on the next-generation DRCE.

    "I know that I can count on GM Performance Parts to produce the
components we need to win in this intensely competitive category," said
Johnson, who was voted "Engine Builder of the Year" on the Car Craft
All-Star Drag Racing Team in 2001 and 2002.

    "Warren's hands-on approach and his engineering insights directly
benefit GM Performance Parts customers," said Bill Fitzgerald, manager of
GM Performance Parts and Vehicle Care. "His race car is not only the
flagship of GM SPO's marketing program in NHRA drag racing, but also a
high-speed laboratory that GM engineers use to test and develop components.
Just as Warren represents the best in NHRA drag racing, GM Performance
Parts represents the best in high-performance engines and parts in the
industry."

    Johnson is known as the "Professor of Pro Stock" for his
analytical approach to racing. He stands at the head of the Pro Stock class
in every performance statistic: career victories (88), final rounds (138),
No. 1 qualifiers (127), low elapsed times (129), and top speeds (196).

    GM Performance Parts is part of General Motors Service and
Parts Operations (SPO). SPO, headquartered in Grand Blanc, Mich., markets
automotive replacement parts and accessories worldwide under the GM and
ACDelco brand names. For more information, visit the GM Goodwrench web site
