it basically boils down to the old saying, " you break it, you buy it" plus, researching aftermarket parts before slapping them on your car doesn't hurt, and of course, knowing how to drive in the first place is paramount.

Why should Mitsubishi pay for your racing?? I hope you understand why the tuning market is so big for these cars. If you buy a HIGH PERFORMANCE car and dont know how to drive it or dogg the car like an idiot then you deserve everything you dont get. I'm pretty sure they have a disclaimer in their warranty agreement.

I couldn't agree with you better!
Still, eventhough SoA offers an SCCA membership with their vehicles, if you go to the fine print, it is stated that the warranty on the vehicle is voided.

Check out the latest issue of AutoWeek. Subaru, among others, is very publicly stating (what has been in the fine print all along apparently) they will not honor warranty claims on cars that have been autocrossed, tracked etc.

Glad to see AW has picked up on this and is alerting readers. The free SCCA membership come-on is misleading at best.

Happy Motoring
