The folks at the Chevy dealership where I had all my work done on my 01 Z06 knew I took it to track days, BUT they are also pretty easy going as well. I have heard plenty of stories (true or not I don't know) over on CorvetteForum and Z06Vette.com about GM voiding warranties because people were at the dragstrip. I countered this by placing a piece of paper over my vin in the windshield. Of course, this also prevented thieves from writing down the VIN and getting a spare key made at a crooked dealer too (that happened to a Z06 owner in Dallas). Anyway, I don't have to worry about that crap with the Firehawk as it is out of warranty. However, we took my wife's RSX-S into the dealer when the engine blew up at the track, but that was definitely a manufacturer's defect (engine blew after one lap, no missed shifts, not taken past redline). My view, even if I'm at the track, as long as I didn't do something stupid (like miss a shift) and I think it's truly a manufacturer's defect, then I'm taking it in for warranty. When I buy a sports car, part of the reason I'm buying it is because it should be able to handle track days.
