Press Release Summary: Scorpion Performance ramps up to meet increasing demand for
its US made precision products

Press Release Body: Ft. Lauderdale, FL ( ExpressPressRelease ) 1 October 2007 -href=http://www.scorpionperformance.com/>Scorpion Performance, Inc.,
manufacturer of precision parts for high performance motors, intends to more than
double existing output by opening a second plant late this year in Ocala, FL.
Scorpion founder, Robert Stopanio, attributes the increased demand to the company's
ability and determination to outperform China and its Asian counterparts on both
price and quality levels - and certainly faster delivery.

Scorpion takes particular pride, Stopanio states, in being an industry leader in its
use of the most sophisticated robotically operated U.S. machine tools. "The robots
run around the clock, seven days a week," he adds. "When you can operate three
shifts per day, you inevitably achieve dramatic cost efficiencies."

A few months ago, Scorpion was capable of producing a single rocker arm from raw
aluminum stock to a finished product in three minutes. Now, the newest generation
of multi-spindle lathes - further tweaked by Scorpion's engineers and reconfigured
to work with a single robot - produce a finished rocker arm every minute - a 200%
increase in out-put!

Since early in the year, Scorpion has been positioning the company as the
manufacturer whose products are "Made in America & Proud of It" - calling the
attention of U.S. private label distributors of performance auto parts now
out-sourced to Asia. The response has been so positive, Stopanio says, that we have
to expand our capacity to meet the demand.

"We are maxed-out at our Ft. Lauderdale facility and needed a building that will
enable us to configure our robotic 'families of lathes' for utmost efficiency. The
Ocala site will be ideal for what we expect to accomplish. Both plants are in the
30,000 sq. ft. range, but the Ocala building provides the height for an overhead
crane system that we lack in Ft. Lauderdale."

The Scorpion brand leads the industry with its principal product, rocker arms, that
account for greater horsepower by regulating the intake and exhaust valves on high
performance engines. At the same time, the company is looking to recapture that
portion of the precision auto parts business that has wandered off-shore - whatever
brand they market under.

Just how great are the overseas expenditures by automotive manufacturers? According
to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. automotive industry is far and away the
greatest "consumer" of imported products. This, of course, doubtless reflects the
impact of Far Eastern and European auto companies that do final assembly of their
cars and trucks in U.S. plants. In 2005, motor vehicles imported $142 billion,
which represented 39% of automotive expenditures for that year.

In addition, Motor Vehicle Parts at
$71 billion - a separate category -- ranks No. 3 among some 50 industry categories
in the import derby. And that represents almost half of sales of parts in the U.S.)


Stopanio acknowledges that Scorpion represents but a microcosm of the business being
"lost" to overseas sources, yet he feels just as strongly as multi-billion-dollar
companies that U.S. manufacturers have to innovate and fight back on world-market
terms.
