I couldn't help but laugh when I read this... I hate it for the owners but I'm sure they can beat it...

This is very common but also logical. Subaru is doing the same thing.

If you beat the hell out of your clutch, do you really think you should get it repaired free? If you crank the boost and a piston melts, should that be covered under warranty? If I took my "stock" car and went out and did a rally event and blew the motor, should Mitsubishi fix it under warranty?

Racing is racing... If Peter Solberg went and bought an STi off the showroom floor and then entered it into a drag racing event, should Subaru cover the warranty? They absolutely wouldn't if he went to a rally in it. So what's the difference?

Any time you enter a racing event, you already know that you will be "abusing" the car. Could you imagine how great it would be if NASCAR teams could buy their cars with "warranties" so that everytime they blew the motor it would get replaced for free?

If you plan on racing the vehicles you purchase, then you should plan on paying for the things that you break along the way. Yes, it sucks, but it is only fair. If your stereo dies, then it's a different story... This holds true for EVERY manufacturer. Even Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, or BMW will only go so far. Yes, since you paid more they tend to be more lenient. However, when it comes time to replacing your motor a second time... then they start asking questions.

That pretty much covers my thoughts on the matter.
