Auto-x does not void warranty's. many people take brand new cars all the time to gulf greyhound park to race. SCCA sanctioned and it's safe.
Manufacturers cannot void your warranty for that. There is a law protecting consumers for that very reason. Called the Magnuson act I think it's called.

What you just wrote is completely and utterly false. Racing is listed as one of the reasons for a warranty to be refused. To be more specific...you are not using the car for it's intended purpose -- legally driving on roads while obeying the law. Racing puts higher strain on components and can void a warranty. Will be up to the dealer and corporate to fix if you break it while racing.

The act you referenced protects you if you use non-factory replacement parts like filters, oil, tires, muffler, sparkplugs, brakes, etc -- I.E. normal replacement/wear parts with OE-like designed aftermarket parts. It does not allow you to modify your car and expect the manufacturer to warrant it. You can modify your car...just don't expect a dealer to fix it under warranty if the part you installed COULD have caused the problem.

only if they cant prove, beyond reasonable doubt that it was from racing. saw a Cobalt come in, dude blew up the motor, and they replaced it because they couldnt prove the crappy mods he had on it, in addition to racing, were what caused it to asplode

That's why I said: Will be up to the dealer and corporate to fix if you break it while racing.

Sometimes even though they suspect damage occured while doing something that would void the warranty they will fix it: good/loyal customer, or a media nightmare, for example.

I just don't like people stating falsehoods -- imagine someone breaking their car at a race and trying to use the post above to make the dealer fix it...LoL

 

[mschiavoni]

Looks sweet! Love the paint job on the emblem. Looks like new double sided tape? If so, any thoughts of trimming off the excess to avoid dirt/bug accumulation?
