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

I do know of ZO6's going in for warranty work with numbers on the cars from a few locals. Can't remember what was done off the top of my head, but it was not trival like a window motor or wiper motor.

I can just as easily do a 6000 rpm launch on DOT tires at a stop light or in a parking lot like in an autocross. I can drive down the highway at 5000 rpm's in third if I wanted to. I can understand not covering suspension if it modified, but if the motor hasn't been touched I can't see how that can't be covered if I toss a rod if I never over reved it passed the factory cut off. Keeping the revs up for a 60 second run in the motor's designed operating range should be fine. I'm a fence sitter about a track day, if your keeping the rev's up for 20 min sessions then the internals are probably getting really hot and outside there normal environment. But it's still in the designed operating range so I don't know if I would take that in for warranty or not. Missing a gear and going into 2nd rather then 4th and kicking a rod out because you reved to 9000 should not be covered.

Since I have done a lot of suspension work to my car I wouldn't take it in for warranty if I broke a front or rear lower control arm even though they are 100% stock, that would be just trying to screw over GM. However if I had an engine problem that was not related to me messing up a shift or something like that I would take it to the dealer since my only engine mod is a lid, which I could of gotten as an SPL option which would be covered. So if a coil pack went out, I think that should be covered. If I killed a rear on a ProSolo launch I would probably suck it up and fix it myself out of my pocket.

I argee with you Mitch that a salesman will say anything to sell a car, but should the buyer pay for the salesman's loose mouth?
