Okay, folks, the thread wandered off to other interesting angles, but
quickly away from the original question.
Not asking here about whether or not autox activity SHOULD be covered under
warranty, or whether advertising with a performance theme is tacit approval
for using the products in a performance mode.
The question is -- are reports real of GM (or any automaker) using autox
RESULTS they find on SCCA websites as cause for voiding warranties, or is
this urban legend? Ditto insurance companies using such data to void
policies or refuse claims.
This was generated by the local (newbie) competitor asking that his finish
be left off the results so GM would not know he was using their Z06 for such
nefarious purposes.
Is this Chicken Little? Or is the sky really falling?
I want to be able to tell the fellow his fears are groundless -or- urge SCCA
to get proactive with GM et al to cease such practice.
The closest (and about only) response on point so far is the one from Arthur
Emerson about VW and Nissan dealerships in Jersey sending service reps to
the dragstrip to photo and note cars that were competing. That still does
not confirm any "spying" on our websites.
