Jim, Visteon is Ford's part making operations. About a year ago, Ford decided to follow GM's lead (Delphi) and group their parts making operations under the new name "Visteon". We're comprised of Climate Control (where I am), Chassis, Electronics, Fuel Handling, Interior Systems, etc. Basically, all Ford's part making operations (except for powertrain components such as engine and transmission). The scuttlebut is that we will be spun off or merged with some other automotive parts maker at some time in the future. Regarding John Force's car, I believe we may supplied the radiator. I'm not certain what other areas of Visteon may have supplied, but I know Visteon is very interested in supporting auto-related sports.
