Camaro chief: If your car breaks on track, GM will fix it
Much as it does with the Corvette, Chevrolet has confirmed that it will honor the warranties on V8 Camaros even if the issue in question was caused by a track day or night at the drag strip. Motor Authority was told about the policy by Camaro Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser, and Autoblog got an official confirmation from GM. There are, of course, caveats, plus some open questions about the policy.
"If you're not modifying your car and you take your production car to a
track day and you have an issue with one of your parts, it's covered
under warranty," Oppenheiser told Motor Authority. "That's pride of craftsmanship that we know it will stand up to track use."
As Oppenheiser says, don't expect to make sweeping modifications to your
car and have GM still foot the bill for any issues that befall your car
on the track.
"We know when somebody changes their ECM calibration and we know if they
changed to a cold-air intake, we can tell all that," Oppenheiser said.
"But driving it as you break it in from the dealership, if you have a half-shaft or whatever, it's covered."
