Another phenomenally successful year vividly demonstrates that Pratt & Miller's range of design, engineering, fabrication, and race program management capabilities are among the best in the world. The company offers full vehicle kinematics and compliance testing, vehicle and component mass-inertia testing, seven-post ride analysis, full and fractional scale wind tunnel development, and vehicle dynamics and evaluation testing. Advanced computational fluid dynamics analysis (CFD) tools are used to analyze aerodynamic impacts and flow field structures of vehicles. In addition, a highly sophisticated proprietary ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) model for virtual track simulations accelerates the development of new vehicles and components.

Pratt & Miller's fabrication and build capabilities bring even the most advanced designs to fruition on time and within budget. Component, system, and complete vehicle fabrication and assembly benefit from highly trained and experienced people utilizing the most advanced tools and techniques found anywhere.

Pratt & Miller's ability to effectively manage race programs is demonstrated by the performance of its Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V teams, as well as its various customer car programs. In 2007 Cadillac racing won its second manufacturers title and Corvette racing once again swept the ALMS driver, team and manufacturer championships. The company's winning race record goes back many years, with multiple championships in a wide variety of racing venues, five class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and an overall victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

In addition to Pratt & Miller's headquarters in New Hudson, Michigan, other company facilities include the Mooresville, North Carolina Corvid offices, which house 40 engineers and a wealth of ultra-sophisticated equipment including a 460-processor supercomputer.
