I mean I knew it wouldnt be covered but I was wondering immiedatly how they knew. I couldnt see anyone openly admitting they fragged the tranny on a closed course track due to voiding the warranty. So I asked him how they knew? He stated they pulled what he compared to a data logger on the GTR that nissan put in it for this specific reason. Once nissan reviewed the data they determined that he was racing it and he fessed up, but told them to fix it even if it isnt under warranty and he would pay for it so he could get it back on the track. I asked him if they had the same thing on the 370z and he said it wasnt, only on the GTR since it is marketed for that and there are people that will by it and make it a track rat.

True or false?

I have heard of both Ford and GM going so far as to even cruise car forums and YouTube and present evidence from both to deny customer warranty claims on drivelines.

If you're racing a GT-R? Warranty shouldn't be the owners concern from jump street.

I think it is crummy to produce a performance car and then void a warranty when the buyer takes it to the place where it is actually responsible to test the car's limits.

But yeah, this is old news. This has been going on since the GTR came out.

I have to agree with you too.

You have a good point there...Does Ferrari and Porsche have the same policy with there supercars? But if you can afford to buy one... warranty is the least of your concern right? or maybe not for me.

That's an excellent question. I know that some of the luxury supercar manufacturers sponsor track day learning experiences for new owners, but I don't know if tracking the cars outside of that has any bearing on warranty, or even if, as you say, someone with that kind of money even cares about their warranty.

Doesn't that get you to think why would they manufacture cars that can be driven more then let say 75mph when most highway the speed limit is 65mph? Maybe someday they will so no more speeding tickets.

That would ruin motorsports as we know it.
