-- Have you ever wanted to be a professional test driver? Going
fast on a tight course and squealing the tires in the turns, just
like on TV? Or maybe you've always wanted to take a 4x4 on an
off-road adventure over logs and through rivers? Houston-area
residents will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to try out all of
these things in a controlled setting when Chrysler Group's "Full
Throttle Test Drive Event" comes to Sam Houston Race Park on
Saturday, Nov. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 5. Consumers are being invited to
test drive the full line of 2007 Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge
products, including the all-new Chrysler Sebring, Jeep Wrangler
Unlimited and Dodge Nitro, on three specially designed test tracks.
One track will showcase the ride and handling of the Chrysler
Group's passenger cars and a second track will feature the off-road
capability of sport-utility vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler, Grand
Cherokee and Commander. The third track will be dedicated to
demonstrating the power and performance of the Chrysler Group's SRT
product line. Professional test drivers will take consumers on the
ride of a lifetime in the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Chrysler
Crossfire SRT6 and Dodge Viper SRT10. Thrill rides will be
available each day at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. All event
attendees will receive a $400 consumer rebate certificate to be
