Frankly, I don't think manufacturers voiding warranties from any issues resulting or that may have resulted from competition and/or competition parts is either unusual or unreasonable.

Perhaps I'm a throwback to an earlier time but anytime I've modified my car from "stock" or participated in any sort of competition (be it 1/4 mile, road course, autocross or whatever) I've simply not expected the manufacturer to jump in and do warranty work for me. Mass-produced street-legal passenger cars as NOT built for competition no matter how much people who buy "performance" cars want them to be and no matter what some New York ad agency does in commercials.
