I think what you guys are missing is that "designed for", "intended for", "built for", "made for", etc. hold no real legal meaning against "this warranty will be void if the car is used for ______". If it is spelled out in writing when you bought the car, that’s what you agreed to. Just because a car is "built to" race, does not mean that the manufacturer has to warranty anything on that car if you violated the contract. Regardless of what may seem obvious from our myopic perspective, a Z06 may be "built for" racing, but GM does not put that in writing.
Usually if you take personal responsibility for things, there isn't a problem. If you broke it, fix it. If it was really defective, and I don't mean "they should have known I was going to put slicks on this and do a 6K clutch drop", then talk to the service adviser. Usually if you are honest, and they don't feel like you are trying to get over on them, they will work with you. I think I could get my dealer to replace the power window motor or battery if I took it in with the numbers and race tires on the car, but I bet they would choke on a transmission rebuild or broken 10-bolt. Don't get me wrong. Years ago I stuck GM hard when I had my '97 Z28. They paid for two T-56 rebuilds (first rebuild was hosed from the first day) and a shattered 10-bolt, all broken on nitrous (which was cleanly removed before being taken in). The T-56 was rebuilt under an aftermarket warranty after that. Damn drag racing... |
