Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology Vehicles Named Official Cars and Trucks of SCCA

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 24, 2005 -- The Chrysler Group and Sports Car Club of America, Inc. (SCCA) jointly announced today a multi- year partnership that names the Street and Racing Technology (SRT) vehicle line as the "Official Cars and Trucks" of SCCA.

The partnership includes a free SCCA membership offer to all participants in the SRT Track Experience, and a number of cross-promotional activities and programs for SCCA and SRT.

"Racing is part of the DNA of every SRT vehicle," said Dan Knott, Director - Street and Racing Technology, Chrysler Group. "This relationship with SCCA provides a great opportunity to showcase SRT's signature racing technology and street-legal performance in partnership with America's premier grassroots racing organization. And, it complements the already great relationship that Dodge Motorsports has with the SCCA."

New owners of SRT vehicles who complete the SRT Track Experience are offered a complimentary full SCCA membership -- a ticket to more than 2,000 annual track, autocross and rally events, a subscription to SportsCar magazine and nearly 50 consumer discount programs. SRT will host 18-20 SRT Track Experience events, in which SRT vehicle owners have the opportunity to learn more about their vehicle's performance with professional driving instruction. SRT estimates that approximately 7,000 people will complete the program.

"With the SRT product lineup, the Chrysler Group is developing cars that are right in line with what SCCA is all about -- performance and excitement," SCCA President and CEO Steve Johnson said. "We're extremely excited about our new partnership that offers great benefits to both SCCA and the Chrysler Group, but most importantly to our current and potential members."

The true grassroots focus of the SCCA fits perfectly with SRT's customer base, said Mirko Kerschbaum, Senior Manager - SRT Marketing and Product Planning. "SCCA members are the kind of performance enthusiasts who appreciate SRT's benchmark performance at an incredible price."

SRT will have a strong presence with support vehicles at SCCA's major events, including The Tire Rack(R) SCCA Solo National Championships and the SCCA National Championship Runoffs(R) Presented by Kohler. Additionally, the SRT brand will prominently appear at The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour and ProSolo events, the SCCA National Convention, on SCCA's Web site and in its official publications.
