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

Not every failure is race related. But, if they find your autocross results and two days later it comes in with a blown gearbox. I have a pretty good feeling that they and we know what happened to it. Again, this comes back to most of the drivers on the various forums that are "on their 4th clutch in 10,000 miles" or "just broke my gearbox....again", etc. You turn enough guys loose with high performance cars (or any cars) and they will manage to break them. The dealer should not be liable for those guys.

The root of this question is "if you mount drag slicks and break and axle or destroy the rear end, would you ask the dealer to pay for it?". (or, would you be suprised when they don't?)

Autocross is just a drag race with corners, we just run heads up (no brackets).

I mean, sure, they have to "prove" what caused the failure. But, if they know that autocross runs seem to destroy gearboxes and you autocross and blow a gearbox and they have your results, I'd say they could begin to provide a body of proof. Also, almost every EVO I know of has a boost controller on it. I'd think that would void your warranty right there.

I guess my point is, autocross is much harder on parts than many people give it credit for being.

If I go to McDonalds, get a coke, put a lid on it and drop it on the floor. Do I "warranty" that coke for a defective lid? Or, did I use it in a manor that it was not intended?

What if they know I dropped it? (many will say "it's a big company, they can afford it more than I can")

Now, as for the dealer marketing, that could be another story....

How has GM handled the "track" Z06's? Anyone know?
