- Be adaptive • At National Speed, we work on a wide spectrum of makes and models, and being adaptive to this is extremely important. One day you could be installing a camshaft and valve train components on a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, then the next be installing a turbocharger-back exhaust system on a 2009 Nissan GT-R, and the next installing a set of coilovers on a 2000 Honda Civic Si.

Job Responsibilities

- Communicate, and do so professionally, and respectfully. Speak the truth. • Once again, National Speed is a tight team, and this is a huge factor of our success as a team.
