CORSA PERFORMANCE® RENEWS SPONSORSHIP OF POWELL MOTORSPORT
CADILLAC CTS-V TEAM
 BEREA, Ohio - CORSA Performance(r) Exhausts has stepped up in 2005 as primary sponsor of the two-car Powell Motorsport
Cadillac CTS-V Team, which competes in the Grand American Road Racing Association's Grand-Am Cup Series.
"As series champions in 2001, the Powell Motorsport team has shown they can
race amongst the best, and we are excited to watch their progress in 2005," said Gautam Pathak, director of product development, CORSA Performance. The
CORSA Performance logo is prominently displayed on the hood and fenders of the Powell Motorsport CTS-V.
In 2001, the Powell Motorsport team was the Grand-Am Cup champions, and
finished second in 2002. The team consists of drivers Devon Powell, Don Knowles, Norm Guindon and Marc Antoine Camirand.
"By using CORSA Performance exhausts, we've been able to meet the noise
requirements placed on our vehicles without giving up any power from the engine," said John Powell, team owner.
Due to noise regulations instituted by the series in 2004, Powell Motorsport
needed an exhaust system that tuned out excessive noise, without losing power from the engine. CORSA Performance created a mandrel-bent exhaust system with specially tuned racing noise attenuators.
"Our relationship with Powell Motorsport has given us the opportunity to research
and test new product for the Cadillac line," added Pathak. "As a result, we have developed a CTS-V system for street vehicles. What better arena for CORSA to
showcase our unique, high-performance exhaust technology than at these races with the Powell Motorsport Team."
The CORSA Performance Cadillac CTS-V exhaust system developed for the
street delivers improved exterior exhaust sound and a quiet in-cabin environment for an enhanced Cadillac driving experience on the road. Using patented
Reflective Sound Cancellation(tm) (RSC(tm)) technology, the CORSA exhaust allows for a full-bodied aggressive sound at idle and during acceleration, and a
quiet resonance-free note at cruising speeds. Because of the straight-through, nonrestrictive muffler design, the vehicle can produce increased horsepower,
torque and exhaust flow when compared to the original equipment system.
The Cadillac CTS-V exhaust system can be purchased direct from CORSA
Performance or at Cadillac new car dealerships nationwide. CORSA also produces high-performance exhaust systems for the Cadillac 3.2L and 3.6L CTS, as well as for late model Seville, DeVille and Escalade vehicles.
The remainder of the 2005 schedule for the Grand-Am Cup Series is as follows:
Birmingham, Ala., July 29-30; Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, August 5-7; Lexington, Ohio, August 26-28; Phoenix, Ariz., September 8-10; and Alton, Va., October 7-8.
Focusing on the development of proprietary technology, CORSA Performance
employs patented Reflective Sound Cancellation technology in its performance automotive exhaust systems. CORSA's 100% stainless steel cat-back exhausts
are specifically tuned to each vehicle to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and to produce just the right sound. CORSA offers performance exhaust systems
and accessories for cars, trucks and SUVs. For more information, contact CORSA Performance, 140 Blaze Industrial Parkway, Berea, OH 44017, 800-486-0999, fax 440-891-1868.
