Asked him if it was covered under the power train warranty and he stated that it wasnt being covered since the guy was racing it at a track. I took a step back almost. 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.
